BLACK LABEL CIRCUS MIX # 1 ♞ By Cosmo Baker "Low Ceilings And Red Lights"

I kinda grew up on the sidelines of Northern Soul, being an 80s mod, then developing my tastes through funk. However I never really got into it, it was two sparse and formulaic for my taste. I prefered big productions, with horns, hammond organs and drums so pretty much ignored it. 

However a friend who I DJ with Viney kept pulling out these tunes, it was Northern Soul but he had a specific taste in the genre and I was hooked. With the records he turned me onto and Kieran Lockyear 's mixcould mixes I started to build up a collection of my own. 

Hopefully it will appeal to both Northern Soul and Funk heads alike. I absolutely love it. Enjoy

Funk Peppered Northern Soul

I am a vinyl record collector and part of the RPM Collective who play their Funky Vintage Sounds on vinyl regularly in Kent www.clubrpm.co.uk

I specialise in funky and groovy "between the cracks" sounds with feet in 2 or more recognised genres. 

With no regard for convention I seem to end up regularly inventing my own genres such as Speedlounge and Brown Paper Funk, I am afraid this is how I organise my records myself.
