I actually don't think there's a better LP from any of their incarnations. That's not to say the others aren't amazing, just that the debut is untouchable

Meanwhile Neville got involved in the world of bhangra www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME5M...

This was the “green wall” by the way

What makes a good dance music documentary? Exploring a selection of films to find what can make, or break, a good dance music documentary

I spent a good while up to my neck in dance music documentaries, trying to work out what makes a genuinely decent one, and had a chat with the makers of Hyper: The Stevie Hyper D Story and Free Party: A Folk History in the process. Here's what I came up with for @djmag.com djmag.com/features/wha...

I’ve somehow never made it down to Ashton Court. Assumed she was Bristol based back then due to the Geoff Barrow connection

Indeed. I am both in my 50s and a musician and it's not slowing up. Though I am sentimental

One of the key factors in a lot of pioneering music careers, particularly in reggae, is the lack of sentimentality and a constant urge to move forwards. I was chatting to one of the architects of bhangra recently, and he'd just discovered his records are collectable, having recorded for 50 years

Must've got pretty exhausting being Steely and Clevie. Imagine getting up every day knowing you're expected to change everything again

Love the One Pop. It's like an electro rework of their own Bitter Blood rhythm from a couple of years prior www.youtube.com/watch?v=YflC...

He had about 30 singles out before he had pop hits and worked with everyone from Sly & Robbie to Jammy to Anthony Redrose.

Dancehall has courted minimalism since the days of Sly & Robbie and Junjo at the turn of the 80s, but it was pretty wild when Black Shadow hit the UK top 5 with their skeletal production on this one a couple decades later

Fry me a liver

Josie Lawrence seems like the wild card in this lineup

For some reason I thought Frank Sidebottom was involved in this

But what's the correct pronunciation of Kamanawanalea? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywjL...

Hope that didn’t sound like I was writing the U.S. out of the equation. Just that it didn’t have the kind of mainstream reach the label was hoping for.

I interviewed Miss Pat from VP yesterday. When she heard I was in London, she asked if I knew her old friend Dawn. “Well, actually yes…”

Happy to be of service

A black and white photo taken by Norman Parkinson in 1963, looking west from the north end of Battersea Bridge. A lamp post is flanked by London's Fashion brigade. Front row from L-R: Mary Quant, Alexander Plunkett-Greene, Kenneth Sweet. Second row from L to R: Jean Muir, Gerald McCarn, Kiki Byrne, David Sassoon. On the lamp post: Sally Tuffin, Marion Foale, James Wedge. On the horizon to the left is Fulham power station. Lots Road power station to the right.

Saw this photo yesterday of Swinging London's fashion cognoscenti including Mary Quant, Jean Muir, David Sassoon etc, but while this collective might be exciting for some, it was seeing Fulham power station where my dad used to work back then (a little while before this pic) which caught my eye

Thanks, man!

A wild-eyed geezer once stopped me as I trundled my record box across the cobbles towards Spiritland, and told me "Bagley's is closed, mate"
