twenty 45s in sixty minutes
The Funky Cuts // 27.01.10 // Twenty 45s in Sixty Minutes
I'm doing a lot more vinyl only shows and was pleased to see a microphone rigged up over the decks. Mind you it took me fifteen minutes to work out which channel it was on. One can get away with murder when playing in clubs but with the head phones on you do hear some surface noise. But the music is good so if you have speakers use them.
Enjoy Marvin Gaye, The Artistics, Buena Vistas and many more crammed into an hour long show.

shure blown away
The Funky Cuts // 06.01.10 // Shure Blown Away
I arrived at Subcity with a carefully selected box of 12" singles. The studio was empty and I took my time in fitting my own Shure 44 E carts to the Technics , balanced them tested them sopped stylus with a spare and cued up George Duke's Party Down. I should have paid closer attention to the record as I noticed a pied of fluff sitting on the groove and heading closer to the stylus. I thought I could blow it out of the way. I did but I the cart flew back as well. Nice start.
Anyway it turned out to be a good omen for what I thought was a great show. Well the music was top class with Parliament, Cerrone and Chic on the play list. Listen Again and see if you agree.

the 12" crate is raided
My collection of 12" singles has provided the inspiration for at least two other on air Sub City shows so I thought I'd bring a box of my own selection of funky disco jazzy tunes featuring Rose Royce, Wayne Henderson, Phyllis Hyman and Joe Bataan amogst others. Tune in Wednesdays at 19:00 for the live experience or Listen Again anytime.

a box of 200 45s and he picks a scratched record
The Funky Cuts // 04.11.09 // Scratchy
I'm still carting around the records I picked out to play at a gig a few weeks ago. I taped the gig but have still to edit it. But I thought there were some good enough tunes to make up a couple of shows. So this one I flipped a few of the 45s and played the B sides. I don't think I've played the B side of Can i get a Witness for years and after to listening to it it'll be some time and a new needle before I play it again. However the quality osf soul contained within the grooves of most of the records I played in this episode speak or sing for themselves. You can Judge for yourselves by listening.
