SOUL FOOD – THE BROAD CHURCH OF NORTHERN SOUL
This podcast accompanies a blog piece ‘Northern Renaissance’, which simultaneously went online. Below is an excerpt; you can read the full piece here: 
https://blog.gregwilson.co.uk/2013/11/northern-renaissance/

As I hope this piece will illustrate, Northern Soul back in the 70’s was a much broader church than many might imagine. Whilst the stompers were central to the scene, especially when Wigan Casino was at its peak, not everything ran at breakneck pace as is often suggested, the movement encompassed a whole spectrum of styles and tempos. The scene was notoriously very snobbish about its music, dropping a previously loved record like a hot potato because it had subsequently achieved commercial success, although it was this fervent elitism that played a major part in its success and longevity. It’s also the reason why a track many might consider to be as Northern as they come, like Jackie Wilson’s ‘(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher’ (a Detroit artist doing an uptempo dance track with Funk Brothers backing) isn’t Northern Soul according to those at the cutting-edge of the scene, despite the fact it was a big favourite in the Soul clubs following its 1967 release. It’s sin was that it became a UK hit in 1969, just before the Northern scene got into its stride, so, along with a whole heap of Tamla Motown tunes that are Northern in everything bar their success in connecting with the masses, it was banished to the realm of pop. This is why another famous Jackie Wilson track, ‘I Get The Sweetest Feeling’, this time a 1968 recording, which, on the surface, given it’s much mellower vibe, is far less stereotypically Northern than ‘Higher And Higher’, is, in contrast, considered a bone fide Northern classic – the reason being that ‘I Get The Sweetest Feeling’ didn’t become a hit until 1972, having broken out of the Northern scene, then in full swing.

So, with the various aspects considered, I’ve put together an epic 3 hour 20 minute podcast selection of records that I hope will reflect Northern Soul in its wider context, from the nailed on classics to those with more nominal status. What can’t be disputed is that each and every track included has been played, at least somewhere at one point or another, under the Northern Soul banner. There are 70 tracks in all, with just 2 artists with more than 1 inclusion, the aforementioned Jackie Wilson and the great, but tragic songstress Linda Jones (3, if you count Frankie Valli, here both solo and with the Four Seasons). The idea to put this together grew out of a CD compilation I made for myself back in the 00’s to listen to whilst I was driving, which I called ‘Soul Food’, and the intention is for it to act as solid introduction for those wanting to hear what Northern Soul was all about, in all its diverse glory, whilst I’d like to think it will also evoke fond memories for those who were there at the time. The fact I wasn’t a part of the scene has hopefully allowed me to approach this selection in a more objective way than someone embroiled within it, who may not be able to resist the inclination to pack it with tracks nobody else, apart from other ultra-obsessives may know, or who might want to brush a few of the inclusions under the ‘you had to be there at the time’, carpet. Consider this, if you will, a beginners guide, of which I love all of the selections, each in its own way - just wonderful wonderful uplifting music.

"This is for all my girls, lost
That was left on the steps
And the mothers that supported their daughters and didn't jet
For the baby girls gloss that she's got in her eyes
Who she reflects in the mirror, she is not in her mind

And for all my girls lost in a world of lust
That place faith in a face on a buck
Don't trust...
But believe a son will become a man
And there's still good brothers around that understand

And for all my girls searching for the man of their dreams,
Just remember that your worth ain't inanimate things
And even though it might seem like it is so far-fetched,
Being broken hearted better than with no heart left."

The Him - Dont Leave Without Me (Ft. Gia Koka)

Get it here: https://spinnindeep.lnk.to/Sambal

Sultry sounds from Aeroplane and Purple Disco Machine, as the team delivers a steaming piece of deep house. Is that a steeldrum captivating the floor, while a nicely flowing bass and percussion are getting things moving? For sure, Sambal is hot stuff (pun intended), making it perhaps the ultimate anthem of summer 2016. Better taste this one!

Plymouth’s 14th best DJ Aldo Vanucci drops his solo debut for Jalapeno Records in the form of this killer EP.

“You’re All Show” features the sublime vocals of Kylie Auldist - best known as the lead singer of The Bamboos but also a massive star in her own right. In this track she lyrically tears down some unfortunate individual who has been showing out a little too much.

“Take Me To a Party” features rappers ASM batting off the unwanted attentions of the post gig sparkle ponies and with Aldo’s backing creates a classic hip hop party vibe.

“What Happened?” re-works a classic vocal to devastating effect and “Alone” re-creates the off kilter breakbeat vibe of Aldo’s biggest track to date “when I see you smile”

Bondax - Gold (Snakehips Bootleg)

Dimitri Nassios is no stranger to fans of the funk having released on the highly respected Freestyle Records as Q Orchestra and with Basement freaks as Smokey Bandits.

Under http://soundcloud.com/quasamodo he has teamed up with singer Thaliah to deliver some uplifting soulful beats. Can’t Hold Me Down is a gloriously sunny number. Shame it’s freezing but hey it’s summer somewhere.

Change is Strange also features Thaliah and is a more laid back and low slung groove.

The rest of the EP is funky beats delivered by a young master of the game. Son of Shaft has a familiar ring to it and Funkenstein is a pure heads down groover.

At Jalapeno we never forget where we’re coming from and when funky music like this come across the desk at Jalapeno Towers we are always on the case.
