JARK.FM #6 (TONIGHT @ 9)

[funky]

I'm very sad never to have had this experience. gay clubbing now is all techno or 00s pop nights. honestly had NO IDEA where to go for a good handbag house night in Berlin and it's the same SAD STORY in Amsterdam.

ps. Milk & Sugar ALSO INCOMING

It's hard to believe but when you went gay clubbing in the 90s it was about the MUSIC. As was clubbing in general back then. None of this cruising lark, there were different clubs / rooms for that. It was a religious experience. Where my love of house comes from. Cream and Garlands. Liverpool was the place to be in the mid 90s.

 

[Lucille]

Shall I move it to Dark Moopy?

Just lock @Christmas Tisches in there full stop.

 

[Jark]

just discovered Joy today. in Colour Castle's own words on YouTube: "It doesn't get much better than gospel sampled, hip hop inspired, churchy, uplifting house music."

PREACH IT SISTA!

 

[RJN]

I've always thought that after New York In the 70s, 90s England is where I would most like to time travel to go clubbing

 

[funky]

I think he already has such a place for Tisch at home.

We basically stole house music from America because you weren't using it properly, and WENT A BIT MENTAL WITH IT

 

[Tisch]

Just lock @Christmas Tisches in there full stop.

Just me and cat bin lady partying all day long

 

[funky]

Colour Castle nicely maintaining the vibe I'm talking about.

EXACTLY THIS. '78 NYC, '97 Sheffield - when others are using time machines to meet the dinosaurs or talk to Shakespeare or Einstein, I'll just be popping back a couple of decades to get LAIRY IN A CLUB.

Not forgetting STICKY VICKY!

 

[funky]

David Penn is another remixer who I CLICK IMMEDIATELY when I see him listed anywhere. There's just certain DJ producers who NEVER MISS. Dennis Ferrer is another one.

SAME

My mother grew up on Long Island in the 70s and she used to take the train into New York to go clubbing as a teenager and I'm eternally jealous

 

[Jark]

"get me a cup of coffee, get me a slice of cake" - that's how old man funks do the party

Your mum sounds FABULOUS

 

[RJN]

Your mum sounds FABULOUS

She is!

 

[Lucille]

The CLASSIC VOCAL STYLINGS tonight are really getting my BUSSY WET!

 

[Jark]

Psychemagik are another recent discovery. there's a great, really SOMBER remix of Sylvester's I Need Somebody to Love Tonight by them which is worth a gander. always about the groovy, borderline psychedelic basslines with them.

 

[Jark]

Lucy, the next track is probably one that you'll be living for, IF I KNOW YOU AT ALL.

 

[Jark]

the bit at the 5 minute mark of Barcelona where the synths CASCADE IN and the whole track seems to BURST OUT INTO THE SUNLIGHT (just for a bit)...

 

[Lucille]

Lucy, the next track is probably one that you'll be living for, IF I KNOW YOU AT ALL.

Is it this sultry whispery Ela Minus Ket House, then yes

 

[Jark]

last time I did this, I had a boyfriend who cooked me dinner.
now all I have is coffee and liquor.

there's something deliriously DRAB about the lyricism. very East Germany.

 

[RJN]

I discovered dominique from the Pitchfork list and its been a favorite since. Like @Jark said, the drab lyrics really work with it

 

[Lucille]

Loving the intro to this CANDI STATON number.

 

[RJN]

I think I said this last time, but I love that Candi Staton is still around and on trendy dance songs

 

[Jark]

I had no idea Candi Staton was still active/recording/ALIVE. this really could have been released at ANY time in the last 30 years. is there any higher compliment?

 

[funky]

Miss Candi is such a legend.

 

[RJN]

Miss Candi is such a legend.

She's 80!!

 

[Jark]

Amour Cru settles into such a lovely groove. a big old symphony of electro sounds, piano and classic diva vox.

 

[funky]

She's 80!!

 

[Jark]

I actually don't know the original, but this Hot Chip take on Dead Horse is so boppy n' choppy!

 

[Tisch]

Oh what's THIS gorgeous piece?

 

[funky]

You can totally tell it's Hot Chip

 

[Tisch]

Ha look at me being all

 

[RJN]

A Hayley Williams dance album would be good and totally out of nowhere

 

[funky]

@Christmas Tisches there does seem to be a running theme with you and indie house music. I should make you a playlist.

King Princess is out here proving that it's FAR FROM EASY for these indie white girls to just make dance music that's good

Not to diminish her at all, but if Hayley just wrote the lyrics but let others create the music/melodies, I can still see it working

 

[Tisch]

Yeah I think it marries two of my early music genres loves that aren't pop. I would GLADLY consume a playlist if you mock one up for me, but don't feel the need to go to too much effort!

Totally here for a funky.fm btw.

 

[Jark]

the Shura remix is so DREAMY! ugh. beaut.

definitely here for funks.fm.
