In the UK three decades ago soul music returned to the dance clubs from whence they came and today it is easy to forget how hugely popular that which we call mixes remains. I heard hardcore house on Radio One -the BBC’s national pop music radio station and wandering through HMV record store in Glasgow I saw rows upon rows on dance, club, dub, dj and house CDS. I recognized some names but not as many as you’d suspect. Some of the mixes will come from a single night club, some from a label, some from a posse of afilliated DJs. Some names I recognized, Mandrake has been around forever, many more I didn’t… I’ll have more to say back in the US!
