This is for the lovers of sparse house. The deep souls who need just the house basics to lose it, a simple bass line, a succinct sample and a kicking hook. This is for the warm-up and the afters. The anticipation and the appreciation. The glory of the night ahead, the giggles from the party just passed. HNNY’s Tears on Local Talk is a tune … Continue reading 50 Tunes 50 Years: HNNY
Considering I’ve spent over half my life with my Queenie it figures that she’s going rock up on my 50 Tunes For 50 Years a fair few times. We’ve shared way too many stacks of speakers, amps and record players for her not too. But when you consider our track record one would think that the tune that soundtracked the beginning of my greatest love … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: The Breeders
It was 1980 and all I wanted in the world was a Harrington jacket. To feel the tartan lining on my skin, the buttons by my neck and cruise the streets of Frinton on my, er, hand me down Raleigh Shopper looking the dogs. In my Stay Press trousers of course. Sadly the local jumble sales rarely saw a donation from a generous Essex mod … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: The Jam

Pencil skirts and crushes. Soul music and Sunday afternoons. Love and Luther. Giving me the reason to Stop For Love. It was 1986 and nothing, not even Luther, could save me from that first unrequited love, that first true heartbreak as my big brown eyes failed to deliver the results they later would and I grew certain that this “phase” would ever end. Not that … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Luther Vandross

Sunday Sundae. Two words that have brought me more joy than any other double sonic phonic, although I’ll never say no to a DD. The club night that made me, that the took this sullen faced DJ and taught me to smile, to read a crowd, to love an anthem and appreciate the Sunday clubbers of my city. Whether a wet and windy winter session … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years: Simpson Tune
So here we go. Starting at the beginning. Raised on Motown, Bacharach, Nat King Cole, disco and Kraftwerk. Angsting it out to The Smiths and those Cocteau Twins, going electro with Japan and The Human League, dancing to Luther, Stevie, Northern Soul and Ms Summer. Loving with Marvin and Badu. Mending a broken heart with Al Green. Swishing to Salsoul. Losing it to Frankie Knuckles … Continue reading 50 Tunes For 50 Years
