This weeks conclusion to my life in music, As you re-enter my sounds exclusive to…

The Dance Decade.

This week we touch town into the penultimate year that I have been hinting at that became the battle ground for all that was Good in music to go head to head, with everything that was bad about Intensionally manipulating music production that threatened once again to take over our Industry just like Disco’s demise a decade before,

let the music of this day help you to decide just how this battle of the Arts concluded.

However believe in me that this invasion is not going to be concluded anytime soon,  

[Chris the Glove quotation]

Strap yourselves in as I welcome you back to the Star-date 1987 this edition of the Dance Decade.

Within this weeks Star-date we are going to be re-introduced to the cross roads of Soul Music time.

An event that actually happened a Decade before created by a cataclysmic culmination of the collision of positive frequencies colliding across genres as Jazz fused with Funk and Rhythms conjured the Blues and mother Soul showed us the way to go, Mutating into an unstoppable Euphoria that became Disco.

Once again as we revelled in the cross stream of bountiful sounds from the underground, We never foresaw the seeds of demise of dance would come planted from within,

It happened before…And it will happen again as I…

Enjoy MJ.

This Soul A:M Sunday I return to the Vinyl Studio’s to resume our Decade long mission presented in undiluted feel good tradition.

Within this edition we land within a start date that had the lofty task of following the mammoth gargantuan year in soul that got it so right…

Yet Music Lovers as I began to prepare the 1&2s to serve up platters of pure passion, I also experienced a new found feeling that I would and could be able to raise the bar to depict this very uplifting energetic and pioneering year in the D.D calendar experienced by myself and many others my age entering the young adulthood eager to find our stride yet hold on to what makes youths feel alive…

This is for you, And this Episode is the best that I can do…

Welcome back to the Star-Date 1985 this weeks edition of the Dance-Decade,

Over the decades you have become so accustomed to waking up on Soulful Sundays to me just being there...Podcast ready! Actually even when I go away! Back to the warmth of sun-kist J or even over the Atlantic's    Flip-side that is the U.S of A, I always created Productions to keep the feel good flowing even if not in real-time...until at least I'm back on UK soil.

You know what's coming next right? The Unthinkable is about to happen to my avid followers of the Dance Decade series as this week after the Mammoth last episode that was 1984 where I lead a frontal frontal assault to Deliver a 3+ Hr Studio Production and an Live 84 Mix Live the Night before of which was not only Soul-Unique segwaying between an 84 set-with a 90s Revival back to back Mix which cued up on a dance-floor that was stone cold at first cue...  handed over sizzling hot, All at the price of exhaustion on took its toll on this more mature chap of whom often forgets I've actually aged since back in My day.

This Soul A:M I Press the pause on the annual anthology that is the Dance Decade at the Mid-Point due to an engagement that I would not be able to do 1985 any justice with only a few hrs available come weeks end deliver time travel undiluted, So! This week I have taken reflection to my Nineties live mix from last week to Present to you a very Free-Styled 90s Master J Mix to sample the energy and raw power created when I truly connect with My Music.

Best Served Loud, Outside and with real appreciated of Mother Soul herself.

This Soul A:M Sunday I present to you something special as this weeks Production touches down within year that nearly was our last as we revelled in the unleashing of everything soulful that was unlocked within this year that had the lot, From the garments that we wore to the tempo of undiluted Dance from the Street-sales charts, Enveloped within a global cold war that could have shook the planet Earth to its core,

Oblivious to the news as we danced to boogie tunes,

The year I deem that soul and her creators, got it Soul right! Enveloped to the import sounds of a tru DJs delight,

This Soul A:M Sunday I would like to transport you back to a time…

That I know! Especially in these uncertain times!

With a story that needs to be retold!

After the infiltration and self destruction of Disco that concluded the  the heddonistic yeet inspirational 1970s,

The 80s bounced back armed with a new found resergence to elevate our moods Upwards! As we embraced a new Groove! to Get Down,

Hense a war to re-take the industry from both sides of the Atlanic was too pure to contain as the JoInt UK/USA coalision of the Soul Music scene independently and unwittingly spear-headed an attack to retake the lucritive popular music charts seldomly reached by artists who choose the purists route…

This week we continue our annual audio biography that depicts my favourite timelines within music, As we touch down into a year that ushered in a brand new decade. Shackled with a heavy burden of lifting our spirits up and out of a near decade long recession that was the 1970s before tested mankind into re-imagining a future more positive than the last.

I invite you back to once again experience a decade that once again saw radiant colour! Where there was once bleakness and grey? Conjuring a frequency filled with positivity! Where there was gloom? And productively lifted spirits with through innovation, creativity that propelled mankind towards its greatest achievement... Uniting our Souls.

If you are like me! was around a certain age to be aware! But yet too young to care as your life was filled with innocence...like skate boarding, making Go-karts, Playing out with your mates and making your own bikes...like we did back then,  and ohh yes! nearly forgot! Working out the rules of attraction? Enveloped in the backdrop of growing up on your parents taste in Music...
