damn powerful bass interesting type of mix.... unique

So that was the final night at the Paradise Farage. Sadly the club has had to be closed down, demolished and the site turned into a giant lorry park as a result of Brexit. For our last show, we travelled to Ray Mang's studio and streamed live from deepest East London with Mr Mang himself, a Leftside Wobble guest mix and me. Enjoy and thanks so much for all the support I've received over the past 15 months, it's really appreciated. 

If you fancy coming to see myself and Raj play together in the actual flesh, we're playing at Alfresco festival in Kent on August bank holiday weekend. Ticket details here:

We finally managed to get the set we (Frank Broughton and I) did last December at Spiritland on the South Bank. It was soon after the death of Robbie Shakespeare was announced so the first hour is a tribute to him. Five hours of ace music. Enjoy!

Back To Mine: Nick van Tiel

Back To Mine

Ever wish you had a time machine? Us too. We regularly spend time weighing up the pros and cons, trying to work out whether or not it would be better to transport ourselves back to Studio 54 circa 1977, just in time to jump on a white horse with Bianca Jagger; or instead to wind the clock back to early September 2016 and visit a field close to our hearts.

Luckily for us, the wonderful Greg Wilson has taken the sting out of the decision by having had the foresight to record his FM16 Sunday afternoon set, so we can all relive that magic moment again right now. And worry about the white horse for another day.

Greg Wilson is a man who needs little introduction. After 40 years of DJing, his musical knowledge and ability to read a dancefloor is quasi-cosmic. After witnessing the mobile discos playing at wedding parties in his family run pub, he purchased his first pair of decks aged 15. He was an early champion of funk, soul and disco and was famed for playing the latest imports at Wigan Pier and Manchester's Legend. His hunger for cutting-edge sounds led to him being credited as one of the key DJs breaking NYC's electro-funk and post-disco on this side of the pond. And an early-adopter of turntable mixing, by 1983 he had a residency at the infamous Hacienda, AKA the spot where the breakdancing crew he later went on to manage, Broken Glass, appeared on legendary TV show The Tube during the UKs first televised performance of Madonna.

He's now widely hailed as the king of the re-edit, taking firm favourites and transforming them into hypnotic disco versions. We've regularly found ourselves lost in Greg's festival sets and at last, our dream to have Greg join us at FM came true this year. He set up his Revox Reel-to-Reel on our outdoor stage on the Sunday afternoon. As he worked his magic, the dancing only paused briefly, as in impromptu 250 strong FM fam photo was taken, before his spell-binding set finished with everyone singing along to Bowie's Space Oddity. A truly magical moment. Greg Wilson, hail Eris, we salute you!

NO SELL OUT - ELECTRO RETROSPECTIVE
LEGEND / WIGAN PIER MAY 1982 – DEC 1983
MIXED BY GREG WILSON FOR A GUY CALLED GERALD - SAMURAI FM 2005

This is the most involved mix I’ve ever put together, even more so than my Essential Mix in 2009, for which ‘No Sell Out’ very much provided the prototype. I intended it as a definitive document to the period May 82 – Dec 83, when Legend and Wigan Pier were at their most influential, the new Electro-Funk sound turning the black scene on its head as the old gradually gave way to the new.

As I wrote at the time:
“The tracks on this mix represent this now distant time of both musical and cultural change. I’ve selected the records that were regarded as controversial at the time within black music circles, the ones that the traditionalists were up in arms about. I’d originally chosen 50 of the biggest tracks played at Legend and the Pier, but this was upped to 60, all of which needed to be edited down to an average of a minute and a half in length, which was no small task in itself! Realising that there were still other tracks I wanted to include, I decided to keep it to the main 60, but drop in snippets of additional records from the period, not only Electro, but also other big floorfillers from my nights. I never played purely Electro, but mixed it in alongside Soul, Funk and Disco (or as people refer to it nowadays, Boogie), and this is reflected by the numerous ‘references’ sprinkled throughout the mix.

It’s good to be able to place some of these tracks back into their original context. Tracks like ‘The Message’, ‘Rockit’ and ‘Buffalo Gals’ would become big hits in the UK, but they were completely unknown when first played at Legend and the Pier. A perfect example would be ‘White Lines’, which was an underground favourite for many months before the penny finally dropped with the mainstream audience and they came to appreciate it as the wonderful record it is, resulting in a chart stay of over a year! Nowadays, ‘White Lines’ can be played pretty much anywhere to a great response. It’s a sure-fire floorfiller, regarded as a dance standard, but it wasn’t always that way - without the initial specialist support it could quite easily have ended up as just a minor hit.

The title of the mix, ‘No Sell Out’, comes from the opening track. It seemed an appropriate name, given the fact these records were very much regarded by the purists as the selling out of black music, rather than its salvation (something which pretty much everyone can now, with hindsight, clearly see). Listening back to these tracks you can trace the evolution of Hip Hop, Techno and House. This was the point in time when black music fully embraced the available technology and took dance to new dimensions. Hearing these records for the very first time, we knew that the future was upon us and that dance music had entered a whole new phase of its development.”

The ‘No Sell Out – Electro Retrospective’ page at Electrofunkroots gives the full lowdown and complete tracklisting. It includes an introduction by Gerald Simpson (aka A Guy Called Gerald), for whose Samurai FM podcast this mix was originally put together.

GREG WILSON presents Yellomix 83-85

Greg writes about the mix and all things Yello at his blog: https://blog.gregwilson.co.uk/2019/12/16423/


The Yellomix runs for just over an hour, covering the period ’83-’85 - their most innovative in my opinion. It gives me the opportunity to re-visit one of my favourite artists of the early-mid-‘80s. I was a huge fan of the Swiss group back then, they were really pushing the boundaries of electronic music and I was absolutely blown away by their production sound. It’s truly epic stuff, almost Wagnerian in its assault – relentless, surprising and sonically shocking, bombarding our senses with its strangeness and brooding melancholy. Regardless of whether beat driven or ambient, their tracks built a tension unique to their sound, once you know who they are, that sound could only be Yello.
