The Adventures of Soul Clap Episode 12 was originally posted July 1st 2007

"So this is the live mix from the fashion show we played our first night in Monaco. It’s only 40 minutes long but captures the poolside vibe perfectly and has some of our favorite jams that might never make it on another mix on it. I Want Your Sex was a last minute selection by Mr. Monaco himself, so give him his props cause the ladies love it. Also, pics are up from some of our gigs out here."

Welcome to the Word Is Love Soul & Funk Show where this time we will be looking at the music of Soul Train. 

In the mix we will explore tracks by Chic, James Brown and Larry Levan plus a number of artists who appeared on the Soul Train.

Expect funky beats and bass lines with a myriad of soulful vocals, sultry saxaphones, sexy flutes, sleazy synths and tight percussion.

Soul Train was an American music variety television show, the first to prominently feature African American musical acts and dancers. Broadcast nationally from 1971 to 2006, it was one of the longest-running syndicated programs in American television history.

Soul Train was the brainchild of Chicago radio announcer Don Cornelius. It initially aired in 1970 on Chicago television station WCIU-TV. The show was produced in hour-long segments five afternoons a week and became a local television hit. It duplicated the environment of a dance club and featured a variety of noted musical performers as well as both professional and amateur dancers.

Soon Soul Train drew the interest of George Johnson, founder and president of Johnson Products Company (a black-owned hair-product manufacturer), whose support enabled the program to move into national syndication in 1971. The success of Soul Train reflected the rise and popularity of soul music and funk artists on recordings and radio programs.

By presenting an image of black culture as upbeat, exciting, and vibrant, Soul Train attracted many viewers of other ethnicities and contributed to the growing prestige of African Americans and black culture in mainstream America. Cornelius maintained control of the Soul Train brand until his death and produced several successful annual specials, including the ongoing Soul Train Music Awards.

This mix explores the sound of Soul Train throughout the 70's and 80's.

Get on that Soul Train and have a great ride choo choo!

Welcome to the highly popular spiritual pilot for The Word Is Love show celebrating Larry Levan’s birthday whom was born on 24th July 1954.

In this show we cover some of the finest signature tracks that were  played by Larry Levan at The Paradise Garage. 

Covering Disco, Funk, Rare Groove, House, Synth-pop, Latin and Soul; you know the drill, non stop easy listening funky disco grooves from start to finish.

To describe Larry Levan here is an article from The Guardian:

"Larry Levan was the first superstar DJ. The first to really convince the world that there was more to DJing than just playing one record after another. For 10 years from 1977 to 1987, Levan was the star attraction at New York’s legendary Paradise Garage, writing himself into clubbing lore with swashbuckling DJ sets that took in minimal underground disco, funky rock, dub and synth-pop, which foreshadowed the house music revolution. At the same time, his uncanny ability to mix and tweak records for maximum emotional impact would regularly send his devoted congregation into raptures."

The mix has been put together using a 'Shooting from the hip' style of cut mixing and blending.

All tracks are selected and mixed by @thefunkassassin with Love.

Enjoy the good vibes!

Paradise Garage Larry Levan’s Birthday Tribute The Word Is Love Show 1 Disco House Groove Soul Funk

'A Night In The Life' was the only real reflection of what an Hard Times club night was all about from beginning to end, and was haled by both the people who listened to it and magazine critics as a masterpiece. On November 24th 2012 we will re-create that legendary club night, when Todd Terry returns to his rightful home for Hard Times at The Warehouse Leeds, for what will be the last Hard Times event of the year.

Welcome to the Word Is Love Show and in this show we explore the boogie of New York's Studio 54 going on a journey through 70's and 80's New York Disco.

Covering Disco, Funk, Rare Groove, House, Latin and Soul, there's a toe tapping and booty shaking range of tracks to listen to.

Expect classic tracks by The Bee Gee's, Chic, Chaka Khan and Diana Ross plus a bunch of tracks you may have never heard before that were played down at the club.

To describe the Hedonism of this legendary 70's New York hot spot here is an article by The Independant:

'"People were tired of being serious," one regular to Studio 54 reflects in a landmark new documentary of the same name about the infamous NYC disco nightclub. The epicentre of ’70s hedonism in the post-Watergate era, it was a magnet for beautiful stars, casual sex, and mounds of cocaine. A den of excess that defined its own rules and enshrined the ostracised, queer, and fabulous.

Studio 54 was a place where people could rub shoulders (and probably more) with the rich and famous, the club's ethos being that money didn't matter but personality, outlook, style and - above all - enthusiasm for life did.  Andy Warhol, Liza Minnelli, Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Harry, Grace Jones, Michael Jackson, Calvin Klein, Elton John, Rick James, Truman Capote, Freddie Mercury, Ric Flair, Lou Reed, Al Pacino, Cher, David Bowie, Salvador Dalí, Robin Williams and Jackie Kennedy Onassis were all regulars, and that doesn't even put a dent in the list.'

The mix has been put together in a raw 'Shooting from The Hip' style of cut mixing and blend mixing to give it that authentic New York Loft Party feel that was synonymous of the time.

All tracks are selected and mixed by @thefunkassassin

Now get on the floor, it's Studio 54 you will be coming back for more!
