This is the latest in our series of DJ-inspired releases, compiled by one of world’s leading funk, soul and R&B spinners, Snowboy, based upon his London club night The Good Foot held every Friday at Madame Jo Jo’s in Brewer Street, Soho. A sweaty underground den, it is the home of the very best music and the top favourites are included here.
Snowboy has DJed around the world: from the UK to Japan and all points in between. He has been the music selector for Craig Charles’ Funk & Soul show on BBC Radio 6 and is a curator for the Vintage Festival. His latin jazz band has released nearly a dozen albums since the early 1990s.
The music on the album features many of his discoveries, as well as several classics that continue to fill dancefloors. Tracks such as Etta James’ ‘Can’t Shake It’ and the Contours’ ‘Do The See Saw’ were played from CD as previously unreleased masters and rapidly became Friday night soundtracks (our LP version is their first vinyl release). Other cuts by the Ikettes, Dorothy Berry and Little Eva have been worked relentlessly until they have become anthems.
