Don't think any one tune can lay claim to being the first house tune.....it all came out of Chicago for sure. Some say it's Jesse Saunders - On and On, but listen to some rare 70's NY club disco tunes and there are hints of what is to come in there. It was just a natural fusion of the hiphop/rap and disco scenes out of Chicago and Detroit for my money.

I mainly listened to the Pirate stations like Horizon, JFM, LWR and Kiss in London. Even when I bought the Marshall Jefferson tune, House wasn't the dominant player. Kiss FM had its root in Peckham where there was a club on Peckham High Street. Gordon Mac played there as a DJ but later became the managing director for Kiss FM (legal station).

I was giving up on the Southern Soul Scene by about 1983 when all the Casuals came in and it went a bit white T-shirt, was never into the Northern Soul thing too retro (even in the late 70s) and didn't like their style of dancing (or dress) as much as the tighter Funk and Jazz Funk moves. A lot of soulboys reunited with their old colleaguse who'd deserted to New Romantcism/Punk under the 'rare Groove' scene in the mid 80s, which as far as I ciiuld see was Robert Elms et al holding fort at the Wag. I went to a few Dirt Boxes which were far less elitist and Zoot Suit but when Aciiid came on the scene it got rid of all that horrible, suits in clubs posey wankery elitist vibe that had put me off clubs by then. Though you had to play your cards right too get into Shoooom ;-)


Of course, southern Soul Boys had a massive influence on the house scene in the south. Danny Rampling, Terry Farley, Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfield, to name a few, all Soulboys of the southern variety.


The lack of credit or even history that the southern funk & soul scene gets amazes me when everyone w+nks so much over Northern Soul


Anyway, back on thread, no-one done this yet?

Nettie, Hilly was hardly a big noise in the house seen although at one stage he was the best paid dj in the country although most people had never heard of him and Pete Tong was doing the obscure slots in the smallest venues when I used to go to Caister :))

      Handyman Review

      By mgk · Posted

      A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.

      Plumber recommendation - Niko the Plumber

      By ssn · Posted

      I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
