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:

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'.”

I Just Thought When Listening To It That I Should Do A Recut Version, In Which I Would Focus Strickly On This Crazy Catchy First Part Of The Song, And Make It A Good Warm Up Track For The Dancefloor. 

But Let's Say It Clearly, I Wouldn't Have Had This Idea Of Working On This If I Didn't Have The Chance To Listen To Beaten Space Probe brilliant edit. Props To You Guys!!!

Rene & Angela - I Love You More (Casual Encounters Edit) [FREE DOWNLOAD!]

This track is taken from the soundtrack of Eddie Murphy's short lived animated TV show The PJ's. (1999)

The original version is only a measly 3 mins 14 long. So i wanted to create an extended version, editing The Vocal & instrumental and adding a wonderful drum loop (by Poolside - Do You Believe) to make the beats more prominent.

Kool & The Gang - Summer Madness (Dave Francis Summer Vibe)

Karl’s earliest memories of dance music take him right back to the early 80’s where his initial love for soul, funk, disco and rare groove first developed his appetite for Djing. With the arrival of hip hop and electro-funk during the mid 80’s, Karl developed his sound and began gigging at local west London parties and roller disco's whilst sharing his musical finding through his increasingly popular mix tapes.

This continued throughout the late 80 and early 90’s and with the explosion of the dance music scene, Karl was finally old enough to bring his sound to club land. Under the DJ Speedy Moniker, he embraced the early House and Drum & Bass scene performing at legendary nights and venues such as The Africa Centre, The Brain, Fantasy (Astoria) Fusion, AWOL, Desire 2000AD, Adrenalin Village whilst hosting regular shows on the London pirates.

As the 90’s drew to a close, Karl was continually captivated by New York house and the disco influenced sounds of the likes of Quentin Harris, Louie Vega, Kenny Carpenter, Joe Clausell, Greg Wilson, Danny Krivit, and Kerri Chandler. This sound took him back to his early influences and before long he was busy developing his love for the deep US House and Nu Disco.

Continuing to push boundaries and developing his unique DJ style, it wasn’t long before he was busy co-promoting his own nights across West London with regular guest appearances at Notting Hill Arts Club, Subterrania, Cherry Jam, Cobden, and the world famous Notting Hill Carnival.

Over the past 10 years Karl has continued to develop his sound, fusing a mix of deep house, retro disco, electro-funk & afro Latin and spent 4 years as a Resident at the legendary  AKA London (THE END)  for ‘The Players’ with regular guest slot and appearances at The Lodge, Mulletover, The End, East Village, Ministry of Sound, GO!Zilla, Body Talk, Cargo, Neighbourhood & Pacha (Azuli) to name but a few.

With his diverse musical sound and ability to work the crowd, Karl has developed a unique DJ style fusing his Jazz, Funk, Soul, Rare Groove and Disco roots with more contemporary dance music genres that continues to push the boundaries and never fails to entertain.
