SOUL A.M RECORDS [Rewind] 70s HUSTLE v 90s REVIVAL

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The near eradication of Soul Musics dominance was nearly achieved as recording artists and their outdated melodies found contracts, Record distributions and an audience for their crafts dwindled as many sought the High octane sounds which many rode along to fuelled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.

As we welcome the Solar ray’s as Sunshine makes a return this Bank Holiday weekend over many parts of the UK, And a perfect backdrop for this months celebration marking 20 sumptuous years of Broadcasting Soul A.M,

I have created a Sound-Clash of the Soulful kind respectfully facing off the Sounds of the Seventies Soul Patrols against the resurgence posse’s of the Nineties aka Yuppies with Soul!

I present the to you The HUSTLE vs The REVIVAL. Play Very Loud!
