1800 triiip - Abby Imperial - Mix 033

The funk can do many things to you and for you, if you allow it to: it can hit you in the head, it can shake you in the hips, it can take over your soul. Put simply, it can transform you, changing your sense of reality and understanding of the world around you, as well as how you feel within. That's something this rhythmic principle so dear to our dancing activities does to us regardless of tempo or setting, of place or time, and its power is what puts this mix by gifted Parisian selector Clémentine in motion by propelling it while it carries us through a vast array of moods and moments, from intimacy to flamboyancy, from our ears to our feet, from dusk till dawn. The dexterity and delicacy she uses to guide us through these varied soundscapes is something with which listeners of her delightful Mellow Madness show on LYL Radio and anyone acquainted with her curatorial efforts behind the wonderful label Chuwanaga are quite familiar. Here she takes us on a journey that tests the universal reach of that musical template and proves its efficacy in improving all aspects of life, providing this series a proper return with an auspicious vibe to the year we just entered.

RE - WEEKLY ROUNDUP 140 by JEFF SWIFF

LISTENING SESSION w/ OP BOOMBOX - Wednesday 9th October 2024

Sourcing rare records to reissue can involve meticulous research and years of digging, but then occasionally, Lady Luck smiles upon you. We don't think we would have ever heard of the Medium Wave Band if Gary from Mr Bongo hadn't known Wolverhampton-based record dealer, Steve Ward. Whilst offering Gary some records for sale, he remembered he had a spare copy of an old 7" single that he thought Gary might like. Steve didn't know much about the release and it had never been sold on Discogs. Looking at the record itself, it was minimalist in appearance and information, there wasn't much to go on other than that it was from the Birmingham area. The mystery drew us in…

The A-side, 'So Tender’, is a late-night, jazzy slow-jam, with beautifully sultry, soulful female vocals which sounded vaguely familiar. On listening to the B side, 'Games (Instrumental)’, you are rewarded with a superb example of Britfunk / independent UK jazz-funk. The pulsating, bass-led dancefloor groove and sensibility is a sound reminiscent of productions usually found on labels such as Elite, but the 7” was not released on a label, it was a private press by the band themselves. So who are the enigmatic The Medium Wave Band?

After some fruitful internet digging and correspondence, we got the answers. The band lineup featured Elliot Browne on guitar (lead & rhythm), Ron Lyseight on guitar (rhythm), Andrew Proverbs on keyboards, Tony Peart on drums, Paul Snook on bass, Linton Levy on saxophone, and surprisingly, the beautiful vocals we had been enjoying were those of Jackie Graham, a.k.a the hugely successful UK vocalist, Jaki Graham. Maybe best known for her pop hit with David Grant, 'Could It Be I'm Falling In Love', but also featuring on the cult classic track 'Fire In My Heart' by Escape From New York.

Influenced by artists and bands including George Benson, Ronnie Laws, Weather Report, George Duke, Ramsey Lewis, Azimuth and Chick Corea to name a few, the guys booked into a studio near the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham and recorded the two tracks that make up this 7”. Only 200 copies of the original 7" were ever pressed and were sold mostly in Birmingham at Summit Records by the band’s friend DJ Frenchi , and also at live shows. Despite its limited distribution channels, the record received solid support from fans and those in the music industry, including Morgan Khan of the influential record label Street Sounds. DJ and journalist, Lindsay Wesker, reviewed the release and this led to the band travelling to London for several radio interviews. They played live shows across the country, including at the prestigious Ronnie Scott's in London, and they supported both Shakatak and Weapon of Peace in Birmingham.

Thanks to all those involved bringing this release into fruition and for solving the mystery behind a wonderful Britfunk and UK soul record that could have otherwise been lost in the mists of time. We are delighted to see this obscure gem get another chance to shine.

Mix of the Week #350: Nick Stropko - Don't? Do? Drugs?

Friendship made in music is a thing forever. Cruising on sounds for the last two decades, Forbidden Dance is a new chapter in one of those friendships. Two artists from Croatia are branching out on their own after being intertwined in numerous projects on the local and regional scene all these years. There comes a time when years of collecting and spinning vinyl developes a need to acknowledge one's experience through the finest step, selecting and releasing personal favourites. In short, Forbbiden Dance will be a personal hommage to the music fed by founders immense love for different electronic soundscapes both dancefloor and lounge oriented.
