Are you looking for that perfect beat...?  Read on.

Playback makes a hit return…

We took a little break for various reasons but I am excited to say that music connoisseurs Johnny Reckless and DJ Marcia Carr bounce back into action this fall with the Playback sessions, our first one ‘Encore’ happens this Friday 30th October, at the Alchemist club bar in the heart of Clapham Junction, London. Those of you needing excuses to justify venturing south of the river, then checking out the soulful sounds from this formidable duo of course are good enough reasons to get yourself over there.

Accept the invitation and make it a date to not miss this night out suitably tailored for the heads who appreciate the finest in underground dance music. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=51202904130&ref=mf
Stay tuned for news of Playback’s 4th anniversary celebration coming soon…

Label: Slapped Up Soul, UK
Catalogue no: SUS003

Continuing their assimilation and delivery for quality house, fusions of jazz-funk and electronica, Circle Of Funk’s third ep ‘Fear Of Time’ on Slapped Up Soul records is a digital release ripe for the dance floor that is already being heavily rotated on DJ Footloose’s 1 Xtra radio show, with additional support from Daz-I-Kue (Bugz In The Attic), Booker T (Colourful Radio), Domu (Trebleo), Marcia Carr (Ladybugz/Playback), Eddy meets Yannah, Lady Duracell (Pushfm) and others.

Have you got yourself a copy of the brand spanking new long player from 4hero and you call yourself a fan? Jokes aside, Marc Mac and Dego have been in the rather fickle industry we call the music business for over twenty years and are still going strong thanks to you, the discerning fans. Their latest project Extensions has a little story to tell - I think they tell it best...

EXTENSIONS is not a remix album but an extension of 4hero music in the form of cover versions, no artists got any parts or files it's just pure vibrations. Who knows maybe we can make this a series and compile part 2 with a USA vibe now that Dego spends much time in NYC.

It's officially released on 19th October but it's hit the streets already.

Getting straight into it...


Artist: CIRCLE OF FUNK

Hi hats aplenty with sharp beats over the melodic piano chords are irresistibly catchy as they ride over the funky guitar bass of the opening track ‘London Groove’. Contrastingly, ‘Organic House’ sounds like an old school gem for DJ’s who can use this tool; it’s cleaned up synths, funky sub woofer bass line, lots of percussive flair and nicely timed drops of a classic vox sample will be a refreshing uplifting fitting to any house night.

Known originally for mixing up hip hop beats, Tim Westwood connections and having been one-time DMC Finalists, Circle of Funk are a Bristol and London based collective of DJ’s, producers and musicians. They've carved themselves a groove in house music for the last nine years following a Deli G introduction, and have since been cutting it up at house clubs with many luminaries lincluding Jon Cutler, CJ Mackintosh, Bobby & Steve, Copyright to name but few.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1

The weekend’s over and things are always on the move.  Yep, it’s only Monday, the sun is shining here in London town and I am feeling bright and bubbly – thank God for abundant life!  Anyway, just need to let you know about a few things real quick.

·       I’m getting my head around a lovely and practical site called Soundcloud.  This mix http://soundcloud.com/ms-marcia/come-for-a-ride-mix is the first thing I managed to upload.   I’d welcome your feedback so have a listen, or download the mix and leave a message while you’re on the website.

·       Those of you who are fans of the Ladybugz collective of which I am a member, well, we have new myspace and twitter pages, so please take note of the URL’s to keep up with events and news on our upcoming dj gigs/shows.  www.myspace.com/ladybugzworld http://twitter.com/LADYBUGZWORLD

·       A few tickets remain for the forthcoming musical production ‘So far So Hood’ by RCLY, happening this Sunday 27^th September.  The evening show has completely sold out and a handful of seats are still available for the matinee showing.  At only £5 (buy one get one free) this performance that deals with themes such as gang violence, peer pressure and family conflict aims to encourage young people to make positive choices in life.   We can all get involved to make the future lives of teenagers and young adults a better one.  Let’s do something to support the generation of now and grab a ticket for you and your family members, especially if they’re 13 and over!  More info here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=108159028549&ref=share 

To purchase tickets call: 01737822778, or email sfsh@live.com

·       All you fans of the west London mob known as Bugz In The Attic, note they are having a gathering again to showcase their forthcoming album Bugz In The Attic II (out on BBE records from 5^th October at vinyl and MP3 stores), Sunday 27^th September at the grand East Village, in Shoreditch.  Doors open from 9pm and its £5 entry to join them and a whole horde of guest MC’s, DJ and singers who’ve worked with the lad over the years.   www.markforce.net is just one of the sites for more info on this event.

·       DJ’s Johnny Reckless (Cybersoul Music/Soul Brother records) and Marcia Carr return this fall with another Playback party on Friday 30^th October.  Sub-titled ~Encore~ this party will see the dynamic duo bring you plenty of quality dance floor sounds, old and new to satisfy the regulars and educate new followers.  Entry is FREE before 10pm, or £5 to be held at the Alchemist, in Battersea.  Make it a date.  FB event - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=136937440063

·       Back on the airwaves Saturday 3^rd October is the Soul Testaments (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=129595825921) radio show with Marcia Carr, featuring inspirational gospel dance flavours throughout the show, plus a guest DJ mix thrown in from someone not shy of spreading the gospel news in their sets.  Tune in then to www.gforceradio.com to find out who the guest could be between 6pm and 9pm, send in your shout outs to soult@gforceradio.com   Join the G Forceradio Network group here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=129595825921

·       Having been out of action for a while now on account of a near-death experience recently, from which I am almost (physically) recovered – hallelujah!  I am doing my best to enjoy life, albeit at a slightly slower pace for now, but not for much longer.  Thankfully, things are picking up again at the TMP towers in the PR area with a lovely house ep on the way very soon to those of you DJ/journalists in the know from upcoming UK talent Circle Of Funk.  If any of you need CD’s you should get in touch only if you haven’t already received your copy of the promo by the end of this week.

·       To hear other podcasts or archived radio shows go to www.talkingmusic.mypodcast.com

·       Lastly, calling all Leroy Burgess fans!  The one and only legend of the boogie is returning to the UK this Friday 25^th September for a special live appearance at the Protobello Nu-Jazz Festival ‘One Night Affair’.  Hosted by Leroy Smith’s Direct Drive TV this promises to be something spectacular.  The fact that another legend the UK’s, Mr Trevor Shakes and his dance crew shall presenting their fancy footwork too, is enough to be causing a stir of much more than nostalgia for some of the crowd and is definitely the icing on the cake, along with Dave Lee and the Sunburst Band on stage.  On the turntables Fitzroy da Buzzboy, Rotation’s Femi Fem and SouledUp.com magazine head Gareth Morgan will be churning out the musical platters!  More details and tickets can be purchased at www.directdrive.tv
