CHICAGO HOUSE - Apr 6, 2023
Chicago House Music History beginning of Underground music at the clubs Berlin Frankfurt Paris and all Europe
picture for news item
In Chicago in 1977 - the year I was born - Frankie Knuckles began his DJ residency at the Warehouse. The house that inspired and named Knuckles' brewing new genre. Frankie Knuckles was born in the Bronx in 1955. Around his teenage years, he started going to clubs with his friend - the now legendary - Larry Levan. As they dove into the culture, Knuckles and Levan soon began working as DJs at the Continental Baths and The Gallery before Knuckles moved to Chicago. Around the same time, disco was embedding its way into pop culture, thanks to the groundwork laid by Gamble and Huff and Philly soul. But Knuckles was already looking ahead for the next wave. Upon leaving The Warehouse club in 1982 to start his own club, Knuckles was given a drum machine from DJ Derrick May, who helped pioneer Detroit techno, which also nourished the embryo of early EDM. It was Knuckles' blending of his new drum machine with disco classics that birthed the first sounds of house music. Knuckles soon began making music with Jamie Principle, with whom he created hits like "Your Love" and his infamous remix of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody." Soon enough, Chicago house blew up overseas in GER and the EU

Why are all these DJs teaching yoga? - Mar 10, 2023
So, why do DJ´s turn into yoga teachers? You may well ask, but it is simply an obvious Yin and yang thing in reality
picture for news item
So, when DJ became a yoga teacher, the DJ wished to fuse him own music style into the classes. So, why do DJ´s turn into yoga teachers? You may well ask, but it is simply an obvious Yin and yang thing in reality. Being a music journalist, working in radio and doing the odd DJ gig - think weddings, birthdays and the odd bar mitzva - led to a rather hedonistic lifestyle at one stage and I quickly realised, as Tiffanie Darke points out above, It is JUST NOT Sustainable ! So, I am not surprised it is a trend. Skin describes the reasons why in good detail in our chat for the Reset Rebel episode - link above - but the truth, is that why is it weird that people who love a little party sometimes, get into Yoga.

Rich Conversations – Midge Ure Interview Part 2 - Mar 1, 2023
In part two of a two part conversation, Midge and Richard discuss A&R, Ultravox, Abba, Fragile, Pure, Brilliant, music publishing, Band Aid, advice to artists and songwriters on Music2deal and a possible Ultravox reformation.
picture for news item
Richard Rogers (RR): One song that I felt was massively underrated was the Ultravox song Lament from the album of the same name. I don’t know who your A&R man was at chrysalis records but I always felt that they put out the correct singles from the album but not necessarily in the correct order. What do you feel about that? For example, Dancing With Tears In My Eyes came out as the second single after the song One Small Day. Midge Ure (MU): there are lots of things. Sometimes it’s hard to understand why some singles came out before other songs. Or why the ones that did come out of singles, why we ever chose them in the first place! And you’ve got to remember that a lot of this …
