Norfolk DJ 0 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Ah, but I didn't say I played any of the above records at discos. I just said they were my favourites. In fact I just checked and the only one I've played at a party in the last 2 years was Supernature and that was a request. Actually, it depends where you come from and the 'scene' you were involved in at the time, because all of the above tracks are known to be classic disco tracks of their time. Whether they were in the chart is irrelevant. I do a retro night on a Thursday at a club, and some of the above tracks have been played there, but not all. I've said it before, I play what my clients want to hear, not what I want. Hope this clarifies my position Steady on James! My response was not a criticism of your DJing or music selection, but simply that I hadn't heard of some of these tracks. In fact, I did well by the sounds of it. Nothing better in my opinion than playing some tracks that don't chart or were a minor eg The Whispers - Rock Steady, a minor hit in 1987 but very popular and was requested a couple of weeks ago.

Dukesy 0 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 However my personal choice would be Donna Summer - I feel love, Giorgio Moroder was has always been a favourite of mine I'm with Wizard's choice too. Donna Summer - I feel Love. Moroder's album 'From Here to Eternity' (by today's standards, ancient, but justified) is worth a listen after a pint or two! His innovative 1977 offering puts the 'altered states of consciousness' albums of the early 1990's in a tame light! (IMHO) Link to post Share on other sites

Reverandfunk 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I dont mind the snake but go to a proper "northern do" and if any DJ played it he would get lynched lol.

mick 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I dont mind the snake but go to a proper "northern do" and if any DJ played it he would get lynched lol. I suppose that would be regarded as cheese in northern soul circles then :bouncy: Link to post Share on other sites

clivehenryjones 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I guess that "Play that funky music" by Wild Cherry would be up there, somewhere. Excellent opening bass line and snare roll. Always had a soft spot for "Pick up the pieces" by the Average White Band, though. LOVED the horns! Clive. Link to post Share on other sites
