Just got home, busy night so there were a lot of new faces that were aggressively mainstream in taste. I played some mega hits for them but these tracks worked well too:
So yeah not secret stuff for this forum, but for this crowd it was a way to expand their taste a bit.
What’s a track that really went off at your last gig?
Last time I played there were two tracks in particular that really got attention, but unfortunately I can’t find either of them on YT…!
One was the super-funky instrumental version of this⬇️ (it’s on the b-side, called ‘Part ll’). Personally I find the vocal distracting, but the instrumental is excellent, several people asked me what it was
And the other track was a souped-up Unabombers re-edit of Teena Marie’s ‘Behind The Groove’ (retitled’Beyond The Groove’). Can’t find it on YT, unfortunately.
Played out 2 nights ago. This got a really good reaction. It’s a commercial release of a 1970s library track. I think it’s included on a @GrimsbyRiviera comp, which I guess is the only way to get it in digital format.
Ah, that makes sense! Yes, I’ve seen it mentioned on a crowd-sourced playlist, but never thought about the speed. Makes sense alongside the other stuff he was playing (I didn’t hear the set, natch).
Update: having now listened to it at 33 +6, it sounds even better. And, strangely, 45 now sounds too fast - must be the power of suggestion! Still a great track though
I bough this one and have had reservations about playing it out as it doesn’t do it for me at home. Perhaps I’ll give it a go now that it’s been “Brewster Approved”.
