Still on an old skool vibe Pt1

Compilation label set up by Morgan Khan,
a Hong Kong-born Indian who grew up in London.
He had worked in the UK record industry
since the mid 1970's. Possibly some of the

most important music produced that has
helped shape the future of electronic dance music.
The release of Street Sounds Electro 1 in 1983
paved the way for the Hip hop culture to be heard.
The use of such sounds as the Roland TR-808
rhythm machine, Roland Jupiter-8 synthesizer,
Master of Ceremonies and the introduction of the
Phonograph as an "instrument" (Scratching)
were all prominent features. 

The Electro series was popular amongst the Break dance 

scene with the general agreement that Electro 1-6 

and the Crucial Electro series being the most recognized.(wikipedia)

It's my thing (is it yours?)

Although she's not a household name, Marva Whitney is fondly remembered by funk devotees as one of the rawest, brassiest, most powerful divas the music ever produced. Along with fellow funk belters Lyn Collins and Vicki Anderson, Whitney made her name singing with the James Brown Revue for a few years, and her limited, much-sampled recordings for Brown-associated labels now fetch astronomical sums on the collector's market. Born in Kansas City, Whitney began performing at the age of three with her family's touring gospel group, the Manning Gospel Singers. She studied music in college and caught on as lead singer of the R&B group Tommy Gadson & the Derbys. In 1967, she signed on with the James Brown Revue as a featured female vocalist, meaning that she would perform her own small set every night while Brown took a break. Whitney accompanied Brown on his late-'60s tour of Vietnam, and made other international appearances with him as well. In 1969, Whitney made her first solo recordings for King, Brown's label at the time. She scored a Top 20 hit on the R&B charts with "It's My Thing (You Can't Tell Me Who to Sock It To)," a rewrite of the Isley Brothers hit; the follow-up, "Things Got to Get Better (Get Together)," just missed the R&B Top 20. Far too gutsy and funky to cross over to the pop charts, Whitney remained with the Revue until 1970, without scoring any more significant hits on her own. Still, cuts like "Unwind Yourself" (now very recognizable through several hip-hop samples) and the duet "You Got to Have a Job (If You Don't Work)" helped cement her reputation among record collectors. Her only studio LP, It's My Thing, was released in 1969 and has been heavily bootlegged and sampled by numerous DJs; her Live and Lowdown at the Apollo LP also commands hefty price tags. Whitney went on to record for the Isley Brothers' T-Neck label, as well as Nashboro, but her prime material is from the James Brown years. Seven of those tracks were compiled on the Polydor collection James Brown's Original Funky Divas. Whitney has reunited sporadically with Brown for live performances over the years.

70 minutes of madness

"These are the journeys of Coldcut, scientist of sound, primordial dancefloor hooligans and intrepid explorers of the realms of the Deep Groove. Matt Black and Jonathan More's epic ventures into turntable tricknology have spanned the many varied domains of dance, enticing generation after funky generation to do their own thing and get on the Left Foot. With the help of PC and Strictly Kev, Coldcut have prepared for you an exquisite 70 minute banquet for the taste-buds that live in your ears. This is not a mechanical mix of four-to-da-floor bland-bag house tracks-its style. It's more inspired by classic mix records such as Double D and Steinski's "Lessons (1-3)" and Grandmaster Flash's "Adventures on the Wheels of Steel", and derived from the mastermix tradition pioneered by DJ's such as Shep Pettibone on New Yorks' original Kiss FM. You are served a intensive mix of beatnological manipulation and melody, containing a selection of the many different terrains of todays' musical Soundscape. Step out of the dark and into the Night with the inspirational Illuminati of Hedfunk, taking you where few turntable terrorists dare to tread.

Ultimate Breaks and Beats

The Ultimate Breaks and Beats (UBB) series was released in the mid-80s by Lenny Roberts (a/k/a Breakbeat Lenny). The records contained hundreds of classic Hip-Hop breaks, many of which were discovered by Hip-Hop's founding fathers. Hip-Hop DJs and producers quickly obtained copies of UBB and scavenged them for sampling material. Indeed, most Hip-Hop releases from the mid-80s until even the early 90s utilized breaks that could be found on UBB.



Heres the first three albums in the

Ultimate Breaks and Beats series

still an amazing collection of tracks

after all these years!

Should Have Been!!!

Four More Should Have Been? Could Have Been A Contender?

1 "(Oh No! Not)The Beast Day" Marsha Hunt

Marsha Hunt's - Oh no, not the Beast Day, one of her two 45's recorded for Vertigo Records, recorded in 1973 and taken off " Suck it and See ", that great double Vertigo compilation featuring Jade Warrior, Manfred Mann, Nucleus, Atlantis etc etc. Marsha Hunt was an American who moved to the UK in the late sixties. At one stage she featured with Ferris Wheel and was also in bluesman Alexis Korner's backing band. She also tried her hand in acting and as a radio talk show host in the UK.

2 "Spanish Hustle" Fatback Band

The "Spanish Hustle" is an extremely dynamic latin-flavoured disco song with strong synth, and saxophone elements. The vocals are minimal but necessary to make the song sound so nice.

3 "Get Up And Dance" Eddie Harris

“Get On Up and Dance” is a tune that starts off softly, with some jazz notes, and grows to be a piece of Jazz Funk that beckons you to get into it and get involved.

4 "Theme From Enter The Dragon" Dennis Coffey

Dennis Coffey is the legendary Detroit Guitarist who gave us "Scorpio"
this is his version of this amazing films theme.

Alfredo "Totally Balearic pt1"

Alfredo (aka Alfredo Joaquin Fiorito) was working as a DJ in the mid-'80s when he first heard the sound of Chicago house; he began playing it immediately and then brought the style to London with fellow DJs Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling and others. Born in Argentina on April 20, 1953, Alfredo studied business, medicine and later philosophy in school. He worked as a journalist and concert promoter in the early '70s, but moved to the Mediterranean island of Ibiza in 1975, where he worked as a clothes-maker until he decided to become a DJ. A later move to mainland Spain and a job at the Amnesia club introduced him to house. His 1986 sets at London's Project Club mixed house with rare grooves, but it took years for England's clubbers to warm to the sound. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
