I had a time transformation last night that took me back to the halcyon days of the Torch, The Wheel, The Casino and The Pier plus others that housed the biggest all dayers and nighters back in the day, where Djays filled the floors with tunes that could send dance floors into the zone, and tunes that could rip out your heart with spine tingling vocals, Played by them with a passion and a knowledge of the music and the ever eternal quest of searching for those that made the grade.
In 2008 thankfully the etiqutte and the intrepidness set by the past and its Djays still exists here in the Black Bull Inn, up there in the Attic. If you are expecting the ''same old / same old'' in your soul then this is a place not for the tried and tested and hammered out every week in many soul venues up and down the UK, but its for those tunes that in my book is the roots on which we were fed in those early days, Dri Well's Gypsy (when was the last time you heard that played out at a venue) on Lauren, its original label not on some carved lump of worthless plastic! This tune plus many many others that were pure soul took me back and instigated some sweet fond memories. Each set from the lads one after the other of brilliant sounds all with that same quality, it was so good for me to hear these sounds again, and I can't for the life of me, understand where the hell many of us went wrong in the past decade of playing out some of the dross that we do, when we have had quality like the caliber that was played here tonight for so long.
These Attic lads certainly know their stuff without a doubt and maybe if you are a promotor or Djay you should go here and listen to what has been missing from your play boxes for so long, go home and put away the 'same old' that gets played week in and week out and get out the stuff that truely deserves to get played again.
Top tunes of the night for me, oh my god there were so many, just wished I had taped it all, and replayed it again today They were all top tunes they truly were.
So to finish, thank you so very much for a great nite, we will definately be back next month. I could carry on and wax lyrical all night but I would just get boring, if you havent been to the Attic yet get there as soon as you can, it puts the soul back where it belongs.
Got a nice backroom from Bentinck CD given me to take home and very nice it is too. Thankyou.
