Dick's Summer Playlist

[DLaurent]

What I think is a jazzy house anthem from back when. I didn't want to post too much house but as I say, this list could get way too smooth, and it doesn't matter with this one as it has rugged broken beats in a Bug in The Bassbin style or something, almost...

18) Soho - Hot Music

 

[DLaurent]

I think this is a summer Italo track and quite a good one at that.

19) Galvanica - Night Lights in Japan

 

[DLaurent]

Really corny electro but has what I'm sure are 'Maggie Thatcher' samples among others and a political message.

20) The WIllesden Dodgers - Acts of Terrorism

 

[DLaurent]

The good thing about playlists like this are you can play whatever you want and it doesn't have to 100% fit but this is the Apocalypse Now soundtrack that never existed from an electro punk star.

21) Alan Vega - Viet Vet

 

[catalog]

you are definitely a connosiuer

hi catalog can you listen to that catherine davey song for me in choon of the day? give me an opinion on it which I can adopt as my own.

 

[catalog]

alright i will do

 

[DLaurent]

I heard this one on a Manchester street soul mix tape of Broadway Sound and it was identified in the comments. Street soul cover of a familiar 80s rock tune and quite unique for it.

22) Less Stress - Don't Dream it's Over

 

[luka]

i wrote a poem with the title
Don't dream. It's over.
the other day, which i thought was very clever. that tune is half awful half good. the good bits are good bit basically its fucking terrible

 

[DLaurent]

I am hypercritical too. I don't really listen to much music now as a result.

 

[WashYourHands]

Follows on from the last. Smokey mellow rhodes and a stormy turnaroud. The backing singers are on point and it's a typical of the era well thought out arrangement.

11) Smokey Robinson - Quiet Storm

My Mum has a decent Smokey collection and this is a favourite

Nice tune, I don't think we posted it in the street soul thread we went off on during lockdown

UK Soul : Soundsystem Classics

During the late 80's and early 90's, there quite a few UK soul records that were aimed at sound systems or at least played heavily by some sounds. I think this sort of stuff developed in parallel with jungle, often using the same breaks. Perhaps the most notable examples are from Soul II Soul...

Can you remember the YT clip of the Broadway video you got it from?

Broadway were basically like Smith and mighty but Manchester.

This is the video. I can't seem to find part 2 so only short.

I've been listening to the Quiet Storm genre named after the track to try and find tunes for the playlist. A lot of it is really schmaltzy but there's the odd bit that's not terrible terrible. Of course I could play all classics from other genres like Average White Band - Stop The Rain, but then again it's nice to find new music.

If I was a Creative Source or GLR producer I'd be digging these records for my jazz samples.
This one not really Quiet Storm but he did some tracks in the genre, 70s soul jazz just about palatable.

23) Norman Connors - Love from the Sun

 

[DLaurent]

Said I wasn't going to play much house music but I'll never reach my target of 50 tracks without it. This French House track I found out about because Pepe Bradock remixed it, this is my favourite version, the Sunshine version with a Brass Construction - Happy People sample.

24) Cheek - Venus (Sunshine People)

 

[DLaurent]

Basically because The Egyptian Empire sampled for The Horn Track a track that a member of this band went on to create, just a weird New Wave track with an ethnic wind instrument. The lists going a bit weird but I'm trying to play unheard stuff as much as I can.

25) Medium Medium - That Haiku

 

[DLaurent]

This ones a banger. STL productions have a warmth to them like no one else I know so it's a shame and a blessing he's a bit underrated except by me.

26) STL - Summer Rain

 

[woops]

ive bought a bluetooth speaker. its useful for listening as opposed to making noises. so i can check out some of this stuff for a change

 

[luka]

youll hate this stuff though i wouldnt start here if i were you it will make you puke

well im listening to STL quite like it, moreso than the stuff i heard in that deep house thread, no offence @pattycakes_ @WashYourHands but that stuff wasnt my cup of tea at all.

ive also bought a butter knife.
