It's Friday . . . Let's Dance

Is anybody becoming bored of this?

I'm just asking as I think that it may be time to think of a new Friday feature the only problem being I can't think of one. JC suggested just posting "Sturdy Girl" every Friday but I'm sure everybody bar Anon would soon get tired of that.

As I am persisting with flogging the dead horse for the time being. It's back to 1992 for a bit of Italian House remixed by a Mancunian.

TC1992, were  the same guys as TC 1991, surprise surprise. They were also the FPI Project, responsible for the 1990 remake of Going Back To My Roots. They also recorded under a number of other aliases that I will not bore you with.

Funky Guitar came out in 1992, the clue being in the band's name, on Union City Recordings. The version posted is the Justin Robertson mix. The man responsible for Lionrock and the Most Excellent label amongst a myriad of other things.

Have a good weekend people.

It's Friday . . . Let's Dance

Justin Robertson is not your average dj/producer, how many others have a degree in philosophy ? He started working in the record shop Eastern Bloc in his native Manchester at exactly the time when the city was yet again coming to the attention of the rest of the world via the baggy and acid house scenes.

He started remixing and his talents were utilised by the likes of the Shamen and the Sugarcubes before releasing his first single Lionrock/Roots and Culture on his own Most Excellent label, the single was subsequently picked up and re-released by de-Construction who he continued to record for releasing 2 albums and quite a few more singles before moving on to Concrete where he recorded probably Lionrock's best known track outwith dance circles with Rude Boy Rock which if I'm not mistaken was later used in an add for some Sony product.

The track posted is the follow-up to Rude Boy Rock, Scatter and Swing which personally I love but at the time was blasted by others as being a bit too commercial.

Below you will find the youtube clip for a track which I have been meaning to feature on the Friday section of this blog as it is the best dancer I have heard this year. I have had 7" for a couple of months now and was going to feature it as it was in a limited run of 500 7" singles on Acid Jazz and I believed that it should be heard by the wider world. However, Eddie Pillar, for it is the work of that old mod, has rightly given it a full release on a different label. So I implore you to go out and buy it. I am confident that once you hear it you will want to get hold of it. I liked the original but this just pisses all over it.
