The Signature sounds of the 1970s Underground of which bore seeds to cultivate the very essence of Soul, Harvested from Blues & Jazz syphoned through influential  Funk cultivated out the oppression and Greater depression of this time was to become a beacon of hope as no matter what situation you were in be it financially or the like's you could guarantee the Uplifting ,Suggestive and often relatable Lyrics were all you needed to be transported to within a safe space where nothing outside either Harmful or Detrimental to your state of mind would or could harm! This place later became too infectious to contain as it served as a beacon of light and hope for all who Sought her confines and promise of warmth embrace & Sanctuary… We once knew this hallowed confined space as a DANCE-FLOOR. This relatable hallmark Sound was used as the template of Disco & later Dance 80s morphing and being experimented on numerous times throughout the eighties to feed the forever changing demands of Producers and DJs to feed their quest for uniqueness and Fame. The near eradication of Soul Musics dominance was nearly achieved as recording artists and their outdated melodies found contracts, Record distributions and an audience for their crafts dwindled as many sought the High octane sounds which many rode along to fuelled by an Un-natural high!  Not Me! I never stopped Soul Searching as Many in the game replaced their once cherished Records for CDs [Compact Disc’s]. My Venue’s & Gigs reduced during this Un-Soulful period! But never died! And then as the new Decade turned… So did our fortunes. A Resistance emerged once more! This time from the Underworld of the UK. Armed with an array of Respected Army of influential Musicians Producers Disc Jockeys and record Labels/Stores armed with a rich history through the Origins of Jazz, The Mysticism of Blues of Funk, and yearning for the Sweetness of Mother Embrace Acid Jazz was born… My adoption of this Revived sound was without compromise, With all forms released on record Media, My fire was re-ignited and fuelled many of our Legendary NightSpots for so many of the 90s glory years.

International Music lovers of the World...and beyond,  This week we touch down wishing a year that the corporations once again pounced to hijack the euphoric and unstoppable beats rhythms and rhymes that infected our scene since the turn of the decade,  Reminiscent of the Decade before like when Disco ruled the airwaves dance-floors fashion and record stores. observing with envious eyes and ears the Intensionally Infiltrated the positively charged undiluted  and uplifting sounds from the 70s underground, once again praying for the day to assimilate this uplifting groove that had grown since 81-85 that its potency had the capability to induce true uplifting vibes seen since the 70s. This was unacceptable to them hence releasing a negative frequency that whilst undetectable to most! The dilution of Soul within our music was the objective but it would take time! And time is what they had. The introduction of studio created dance music originally crafted by DJs using deep R&B cuts as an evolutionary celebration bubbled away within the true underground known as Jack trax or Garage House was perfect to use as its potential was easier to create whilst its popularity was the right platform to aid in the dismantling of the age old craft of making music with instruments that has for an eternity lifted spirits through it’s possible frequency’s through dedication to become one with  instruments. The meteoric rise of house was no coincidence with its infectious repetitive groove was slowly tweaked to emulate a darker tone!  its popularity became to hard to contain...  Thus history was primed to repeat it self once again, Welcome back to the Star-Date 1986 this weeks Dance Decade,
