Cargo full of Soul

Here's a sample of my UK & French plunder from the recent travels. Big shout out to Paul Carroll for allowing me to rape, pillage & liberate his collection of its doubles and to Des for allowing me to embark on soul mining expedition of his 70K plus vinyl collection. I also unexpectedly stumbled upon a few gems on my Paris trip.

Fight on: ALI OMAR 16/03/58 to 23/06/09
I chose "Fight on" instead of RIP, because just like the great Mohammed Ali was a fighter, so was Ali Bin Mohammed Omar. Not often with his fist but always with his voice, his heart and his actions. Ali fought the good fight for the underdog, for the independent merchants, the indigenous, the young and the old. He stuck it to the man and the empty leaders when they turned their backs on the small guy, the common man and the underprivileged. Although small in stature himself, he roared like the lions in Zion with his words and actions.

Twenty Four Hour Lover

Ooh baby.... The Twenty four hour lover is keeping with my recent mix formats. All cuts are taken from 7" originals with the pace picking up with disco funk & boogie gems. No pilfered, stolen or acquired digital downloads here bro, and no cd or compilation prostitution. Its just two turntables and a one take mix of 45s, so its a little rusty in places cos' I had a few wines & cant be fucked starting again. None the less all the booty shakers are of the same vibe and a nice indication of the sound we're gunna to lay out for you this Sunday.

THE ENTHUSIASTS HOUR V7

Here's a nice slice of everything nice from long time dj buddy TOM THUMP. For those not familiar with Tom, he is a stalwart of the San Francisco scene, with a strong background in black music covering over 20 years of collecting and playing everything form Jazz, reggae, dub, soul, funk through to Nu jazz, hip hop, disco, electronica & house... there aint too much this guy aint done and done well! No doubt many of these were acrued during his 7 year stint at the legendary GROOVE MERCHANT record store. If you have spent anytime in SF, you'll know why. It is the town where you can eat, sleep, live, see, play and hear quality music every night of the week. Tom has made the journey across the Pacific a few time since the mid 90's to play with me and I've made it SF. Keep your eyes & ears peeled as he may be over later this year.

MOMMA SAID SAMPLE THIS!

Here's a sample of what Momma's got for ya at the Flinders for you on the 6th Sept. I've whacked together a little bit of everything here, in fact this lil 70 minute mix has 19 trax covering 42 years from 1966 to 2008. We have some Northern Soul, 70's funk, 80's boogie, 90's uk soul, trip hop, break beats, NYC poetry, deep disco, nu electro funk, and fresh soul funk edits. I knocked it up in a hurry on the one n twos, please excuse it being a bit chunky in places (one take and half of it was blind selecting towards the end) but I think I've managed to make a bunch of relatively varied trax stack up together to give an insight to the vibes Momma wants to share with you. I hope ya dig it and I look forward to some feed back.

Funk 45 MoFo Money Mix
Funk 45 MoFo Money Mix, that's 45 minute worth of funk 7". Remember those things in the picture, they're my turntables and seven's I just used and dj's used them way back in the day kids... The mix is a little rusty, I threw it together in one take tonight with 17 of my fav 45's and a couple of nasty shaftman samples. I recorded on our super cool Roland Edirol 24bit hand held recorder (this mix is straight of the SD card) This thing is so dope, you just drop it in your top pocket and plug straight out your mixer in any venue and hey presto! you have a mix down. Expect to see loads more up on the blog thanks to this lil gizmo.

Why Did It Take So Long...
The answer to that question is pretty simple... we need more hours in our days.
If we could start the world over, I'm off the opinion that a 27 hour day would be more useful, with the one proviso that we don't work any longer than we do now but have more time in a day to do the stuff we like doing, unless you are one of those rare individuals that actually does a job that you like, no I didn't think so, they're pretty rare. I planned on being one but we all know how life changes and we end up doing loads of stuff that is a complete pain up the arse....
Oh dear! what am I going on about... It's Monday and I'm trying to post something nice for you lot to download, forget all the ramble above, I was going to delete it and start again, but these are my thoughts, and I think I need to get rid of them somewhere, so it might as well be here...
Enough... Stop reading and download the mix... It's far more inspirational than this rubbish..
You should all know the tunes, if you need a track listing ask vis the comment

DJ Frenzie's Tribute to Mel Cheren
“This was a really hard mix to put together. The reason being that Mel Cheren's back cataloge is just so huge, and I really wanted to cover the various styles represented by the 3 labels that he worked with.
Mel Cheren was known as the godfather of disco, and with good cause. Details of his involvement with the Paradise Garage, his pioneering DJ record pool, his ground breaking DJ Promo 12inches, and his various charity work for Aids victims can be found else where on the internet.
With this mix I tried to cover his time at Wand, Scepter, and of course Westend (whose tunes take up the majority of this mix).
There was still so much ground left to cover, such as the early hip hop work that Spyder D and DJ Divine produced, which to this day I still can't find - although I do give B Beat Classic a spin. (Any sellers get in touch!)
Mel continued releasing records through West End right up to present day, and there is a whole catalog of recent music that didn't make it into this mix, apart from the beautiful Leela James tune, which I hope may give a sense of what the label is producing in recent times.
I also made a conscious decision to include one side of the classic mastermix medley produced by Tony Humphries in 1982 - Simply because it is just so awesome, and really flies through some of the classics from West End that I didn't have time to play in their entirety.
So here it is - My take on one of the legends of dance music.
RIP Mel..”
