Lisa Stansfield - Change (dj Angel)

The last harvest of 2021 is here and I like to send a special thanks to all of you, the listeners! Thank you so much for tuning in every month! To help us celebrate the end of this season I contacted the DJ that has influenced & inspired myself and many others on our journey through HOUSE music. He has released originals and remixes on labels like Maya Records, Moulton Music, Desert Hearts Records just to name a few. He's been killin' it on the decks since the late 80's with his brilliant track selecting and fearless mixing style. I could probably go on and on, but I'll let the show do the talking haha. Farm 2 Tables is proud to present DOC MARTIN!!!

Jody Watley - Looking For A New Love (Boscida & Farcher Edit / Mr. Turner & Partner)

Boz Scaggs ‘Lowdown’ (greg wilson edit)

115 bpm

Previously limited vinyl only 2008.

This is a straightforward, no added elements extension of ‘Lowdown’ that I knocked together back in 2004, and which would later be shared on limited vinyl in 2008 as ‘Blue Eyed Boz’, issued on the same 12” as ‘Adriano Italiano’ to launch the GW Ruff Edits series. It’s popped up in a few of my live mixes down the years, and features in the East Village London mix on here from last December.

'Lowdown' was released in the UK 35 years ago, in September 1976. Between January 2006 and September 2007 I compiled a series called Time Capsule for Samurai FM, where, month by month, I revisited the tracks I used to play in the clubs exactly 30 years earlier. It was a real labour of love, for not only did I have to research and often re-source the music included (I had a load of records stolen in 1985, so there were big holes in my collection), I also wrote an accompanying piece every month looking at the records featured, and how my fledgling DJ career was shaping up. 'Lowdown' was a single I used to play at the time in my New Brighton residencies, the Chelsea Reach and the Penny Farthing. Time Capsule covered the period I was at the Chelsea and the Penny, leading up to when I took over at the Golden Guinea, where I’d spend 3 memorable years before embarking on my Wigan / Manchester adventure in the early 80’s. 

I’d hoped to take Time Capsule all the way through 1977, but the workload became too much and I found myself unable to meet the monthly deadlines, so I reluctantly had to stop at Sept 77, with the intention of getting back to it in the future if I ever have sufficient time on my hands. Even if this turns out to be all I ever manage to do, Time Capsule, as I left it 4 years ago, still stands as a snapshot archive from a key moment in dance culture, as the Disco era gained full momentum and the 12” gradually began to take over from the 7” in the affections of British DJ’s.

All the programmes, plus ‘First Impressions’, which inspired the series, can be accessed here:
https://www.mixcloud.com/gregwilson/playlists/greg-wilson-time-capsule/

Here’s what I wrote about ‘Lowdown’ for the Sept 76 Time Capsule:
“Regarded as one of the classic Blue-Eyed Soul singles, 'Lowdown' by Boz Scaggs, despite its popularity on the UK club scene, peaked at a somewhat disappointing position of number 28 on the British chart. By contrast, the single had reached number 3 stateside, with the album it was taken from, 'Silk Degrees', becoming an American classic, which sold more than 5 million copies and spent over 2 years on the chart! Picking up a Grammy for Best Rhythm & Blues song, 'Lowdown' was recorded with a team of session musicians, who would later form the nucleus of the hit band Toto. In the early 60's, Scaggs, who was Ohio born, had left his Texas home to briefly join London's burgeoning R&B scene, returning to record his debut solo album, 'Boz' in 1965. He'd later appear on the first 2 Steve Miller Band LP's, 'Children Of The Future' (1968) and 'Sailor' (1969), before continuing his solo career with a series of albums for Atlantic Records. However, it wasn't until he signed to Columbia that the commercial acclaim, which had previously eluded him, finally came thanks to 'Silk Degrees'.”

Cheryl Lynn - Got Be Real (LoLMiX)

Nick Straker Band - A Little Bit Of Jazz - (Shep Pettibone Master Mix 82)

O Canada how I love thee let me count the ways! There is a magical cabin in the middle of the woods in deepest Nova Scotia where I have had some nights of revelry and ribaldry with the best crew of people you could ever call friends. This was one of those nights. Mark and I have played together many times over the years but we had never played back to back (if you don't count Red Nail which I don't)until this night and we were lucky enough to get it recorded. The spirits were moving, the vibes were thick and the chemistry was in full effect. We played some new stuff and some classic jams that took me back to Shelter, Red Dog, RedNoFive, Industry, The End, and all the clubs we've partied together over the years. It is not perfect, it is not seamless but it is what happened. This one is for my Classics family. Thanks so much for having us! xoxo

Our first mix of 2019 features our first guest mix from Scotland, as we welcome a rising up and coming star in the international house scene, DJ/Producer and owner of the wicked underground house label Psyscho Social Club, we welcome Tamm Smith aka Charlie Says to Soul Room Sessions!

One thing about Charlie Says is she is not conventional. Taking up the decks a few short years ago, she is still relatively new to this scene. After speaking to a female Dj at music conference in the USA she was inspired to learn to dj by the simple question “do you spin”? Roll on two years later, with a twice monthly radio show and a record label, this girl is not giving up. Putting in time in the studio, trying out her hand at production now with Left & Right and Club Edimburgo it will be exciting to see what happens. Charlie has graced the decks with the Filta Freqz, Sista Stroke, Housego and the legend that is Tommy Largo, and this is just the beginning. Regularly found to be playing in some of the underground intimate spots around Edinburgh this girl gives us a mixture of House, Jackin House and Tech House that has people reluctant to leave the dance floor.

You can tell from her technical prowess on this mix that this is a lady to be reckoned with behind the decks!  We hope you enjoy Volume 101!

As always, available for FREE DOWNLOAD!

GLA Podcast 030 | Poolside Intro's | Mixed By Mark Farina

Mark Farina, a true pioneer and long standing House Gangster is in the hot seat for episode 6 of the Gangstercast and we're extremely proud to have him on-board.  Mark's mixes are the stuff of legend and have seen him touring the globe as one of Chicago's best loved musical exports for many years. Now based in San Francisco, Chicago still provides his roots to the House Gangster sound, "For me, the House Gangster movement means capturing the spirit of the days when there were true gangsters listening to house in chicago in the late eighties. White, latino, black...the only sound of the underground in the streets was house music. The sound has a certain rawness, toughness, trackyness and attitude that combines into a certain style of house."

Regarding his Gangstercast, Mark says the tracks are, "Selected goodies from my arsenal of new underground jammies. No special planning though. Pick a starting point and go from there, with just a vibe in mind to fit this Gangstercast."

And his view on house music, you may just have heard it before: "In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly declared, "Let there be HOUSE!" and House music was born."

Playing other peoples music for other peoples enjoyment since 1993.

Darius is a self proclaimed "House Addict".  He fell in love with the house sound as a teenager living in Montreal back in the early '90s when he would stay up late on Friday nights and record a dance mix show on Montreal radio.  He was hooked from then on.  He then proceeded to start mixing with one tape deck and a CD player and never looked back.  

When he moved to Vancouver in the late '90's, he started buying records almost daily and spent most of his free time at his favourite record stores at the time, Bassix and Mekanix records.  Over the next few years, Darius held various residencies and ran 2 club nights in Vancouver, playing alongside such talent as Lawnchair Generals and Johnny Fiasco, as well as playing at numerous after hours and raves.   After getting tired of both the late nights and politics in the scene, he decided it was time to hang up the headphones in the early 2000s, but the love of house music still burned inside of him as the years passed. 

In 2013 he decided he wanted to get back into DJ'ing and purchased a basic Pioneer controller and started to collect digital tracks again.  Over the past few years Darius has been busy making a name for himself in the underground scene with numerous guest mix appearances around the world on such labels as House Salad, Reason2Funk, Uglyhouse, Little Routine, Selecta Music, Leven Underground and House Jet Radio just to name a few.  He also started the very popular "SPEED BUMPS" mix series which showcases his love for hip hop and jazz as he shows his versatility as a DJ by blending mixes of nu jazz, hip hop instrumentals and acid jazz flavours reminiscent of Mark Farina's legendary series, Mushroom Jazz. 

He also launched the hugely successful "Soul Room Sessions" podcast showcasing the soulful and jazzy side of house music and downtempo beats with guest mixes from some of the biggest names in the game and the series is still going strong!

In 2017 Darius got his first taste of out of town gigging playing live shows all over the West Coast from his hometown in Vancouver, to San Francisco and Oakland.  Stay tuned for much more from him in the near future!
