Soul A:M Records ft Master J Podcast

Wow what a week! with last weeks big production leaving me so feeling depleted as everything i had in the locker went out towards you through arranging and compiling a ensemble of hits to respectfully allow us to once again dance with the Soulful deceased now endorsed into the Afterlife… It was you my cherished and respected listeners who made me aware of the fact that “Givin out” my very essence...

And here we are! The one night of the year when we intentionally and hopefully warn of dark spirits ghouls and otherworldly forces that fill us with a sense of impending Dread!  Little would we have known back in 2019 that we were about to experience a whole year of Darkness laced with curiosity powered by our own fears of uncertainty of just what the NWO “whoops” I meant World health organisation...

After a successful summer transporting you back to the now unbelievably musical safari that was the 1980s, like many others I was fortunate enough to have experienced the evolution of Dance music all played out to a never ending backdrop of record stores, night clubs parties choice encounters and so much more!  Fast forward to today!!! Filled with uncertainty dystopian authorities around the globe...

This episode brings us to the year it all changed! Whilst we still had the very popular wine bars and disco pubs to feel the groove within this Star-date we lived for the night life, From a UK perspective up and down the United Kingdom night clubs dominated the dance landscape from Wigan to the West End the sound of Chicago house set the tempo us to feel free...whilst Soulful Jazzy Flava’s would m...

With the Music industry experiencing one of the biggest transformations in over a decade, the dance floor spaces we were accustomed to around a bar or disco pub were about to be assaulted as the sound of the underground previously shunned by the yuppie wine bar scene were about to create their own stage bigger, louder and more progressive than any sound experienced post Disco. Garage house had hit...

Within this Soul-Unique episode our music and its origins are in jeopardy of dilution as corporate labels and media yet again spin their web of deceit and lies tempting our artists of soul towards the darker side of fame and fortune. With many contracts not worth the paper that they were written on our sound was at risk of disappearing into popular culture forever, But there was hope as raw Hip Ho...

Amongst the bright lights and commercial awareness of our music being thrusted onto the centre stage our artists stand front and centre on the cusp of Fame. Those envious, corrupt and greed filled glares of envy were about to pounce with the objective of twisting our pure sound, Manipulating the very DNA of our Dance code and the worst thing of all… It started from within. At this stage the virus...

We were so alive! A stark contrast from the Cold War that was playing out on the theatre that is life, Within this very Star-Date we sought Dance music on  LAND-Dance-Floors SEA-Soul boats and AIR-Pirate radio.  What you will be able to hear if you listen very carefully to this weeks production is the last year that the artists were able to create because their very soul compelled them to sing out...

Welcome to the year that all of the hallmarks indicated that Soul Music artists got it so right,  Producers continued to enhance the values pioneered in the previous decade whilst to evolution of dance music spilled over onto popular music, culture,  tv and film. A culmination of Ghetto, street Rap, hip hop & electro morphed...enhanced mainly by airplay from the UK's pirate radio scene, An explosi...

In this edition of Soul A:M we continue to absorb the essence of the ingredients that collectively progress the evolution of Soul music in the UK and indeed all around the globe. Within this Star-Date our music continues to evolve as producers continue to bend the envelope testing the constitution that regulates pop music culture. This year the scene gets colourful, the influence of the B-Boy scen...

If rumour be believed there was a secret code embedded within the lyrics of Disco for all to embrace...If you were indeed within the  Soul-Space to receive its transmittion across the Dance-Floors of the 1970s it read that... Love was the message! After disco's demise [by namesake only] and out of the Oppression and depression of the turn of this new 80s decade, the dance music community once more...
