I went by DJ alt.rock for 10 years as a tongue-in-cheek diss at lazy rock & roll radio program directors "discovering" '90s alternative rock in the late aughts. DJ alt.rock was also a nod to early rap names that usually contained either "rock" or "ski"... Never in a million years did I imagine that the prefix "alt-" would be so drastically ruined by a former reality TV clown, but that's exactly what happened in 2016/17... I've done my best to clear that name from as many mixes and artwork as possible, but some sets have so many alt.rock DJ-drops in them that I've opted to just post this notice and keep it moving. From now on, I'm using my first name, because nobody can mess it up (other than myself).

From now on, I'm using my first name, because nobody can mess it up (other than myself).

I first heard the term Northern Soul in the early 2000s while watching a one-hit wonder show on VH1 that mentioned "Tainted Love" as a song the members of Soft Cell used to dance to as teenagers in discotheques. A few years later, I was watching a documentary on rave culture, and there was Soul again. I was hooked. It turns out that for every Motown hit we all know and love, there were probably 50 copycat bangers that never made it to the radio and ended up coveted by British DJs in the late '70s. Side B is all about sweet, sweet Reggae music.

Side A

The Temptations & James Jamerson - You're My Everything

Ann Sexton - You've Been Gone Too Long

Sam Dees - Lonely For You Baby

The Cashmeres - Showstopper

Earl Jackson - Soul Self Satisfaction

Freda Payne - Cherish What Is Dear To You (While It's Near To You)

Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe

Soul Brothers Inc. - Teardrops

Luther Ingram - If It's All The Same To You Babe

The Royal Esquires - Ain't Gonna Run

The Salvadores - Stick By Me Baby

Lou Pride - I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un

Side B

Super Beagle - Dust A Soundboy

Don Carlos & Gold - Natty Dread Have Him Credential

Sister Nancy - I Am a Geddion

Ansel And The Meditations - Tricked

Linval Thompson - Look How Me Sexy

Lord Tanamo & The Skatalites - Keep On Moving

Marcia Griffiths - Band Of Gold

Bob Andy - Too Experience

Delroy Wilson - Mother Nature

The Heptones - Love Don't Come Easy

Michael Palmer - Pon Your Toe

Horace Ferguson - Great Stone
