Chart : Paul – August 2009

Paul — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:49:23 +0000

The records in this chart transcend a number of genres which for me is what playing music is all about. Special mention to our pal Mark Seven with his new release Travelogue and those lucky enough to get his 3 hour mix CD when he played at Horse Meat Disco are in for a treat! SmAsH!

Mark Seven – 7 steps to heaven

Paul — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:36:37 +0000

Mark has provided us with some of his favourite records at the moment, imaginatively titled ‘7 Steps to Heaven’ – subliminal or not so subliminal!

Elektrik Dred – Butter Up [Sounds Of Florida Records] 1983

Jimmy Bo Horne – Is It In? [T.K. Records] 1980

The Countach – Aqua Marina

Paul — Fri, 08 May 2009 09:35:35 +0000

With summer around the corner it felt right to share this Balearic number with everyone – Sweet Dreams all the way. Released in 1990 on New Music International, an Italian House and Dance label, the essence of this record is captured in the introduction – the sound of rushing water, exquisite vibes!

Chart : Paul – May 2009

Paul — Sun, 03 May 2009 21:07:56 +0000

With the imminent return of Mark Seven at our May party, it seemed appropriate to demonstrate my own personal affection for lucky number 7 by selecting 7 of my favourite 7”s and compiling a mini mix. The mystical number seven is known to be lucky to some, powerful and magical to others; in Christian tradition it is symbolic of perfection – never more clearly embodied than by the number 7 shirt graced by my heroes, El Beatle in the 60s and 70s, Captain Marvel in the 80s and the King in the 90s.

Fuxa – Skyhigh – Lissy’s records

Kings Go Forth – High On Your Love – Mr C’s Records

The Phenomenal Handclap Band feat MICAH/JEREMIAH – Baby – Truth & Soul US

Open Foraina / Jack Quinonez – Fala Tanto – Love Monk Spain

Digi Onze – Onze Sports Vol 1 – Ping Pong – Novophonic

Digi Onze – Onze Sports Vol 1 – Safari Hari – Novophonic

Parlour No 1 – Amor – Parlour

Jazzanova – The Sirens’ Call feat. Thief – Sonar Kollektiv

Okay I added one more!!

Paul — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:56:15 +0000

Chamboche – Ipso Facto

Chart : Paul – April 2009

Paul — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:15:34 +0000

Whitest Boy Alive – Rules (2009)

This celebral mix of muscians come back with their second album and boy it’s a beauty. There is certianly less of an indie feel to the music with a welcome injection of boogie with an essence of house whilst keeping the melchanoic vibe that entraced people with their first release.

Louis – Pink Footpath (1985)

Unfortunately not much of a secret now our Scandinavan expat Mark Seven decided to end with it in his recent Orginals Compliation on Claremont 56. Nevertheless this italo balearic number is a gem and certanly pitched down a great way to end proceedings on a high.

Number One Ensemble – Back To Heaven (1979)

I-F apparently named this his favourite disco track of all time, catchy chorus great bassline these Italians know about their disco, this is getting plenty of airtime at the moment!

Rosko – Peacemaker (1973)

I opened with this funk bomb at our last party, I heard it way back when on a Steve Mason mix and it hit all the right pressure points, one of the funkiest most awesome records around for me!

Taliban Discotheque – Rubber Room (2009)

Thought I better go for something in the present and this baby holds its own, Osma Bin Laden behind the decks in the Afghan Mountains, nice work if you can get it. Strong bassline, great percussion, crazy ass chorus, I quite like it!

Toto – Georgy Porgy

Paul — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 09:59:13 +0000

A favourite of mine, Toto’s Georgy Porgy is a silky experience – White soul that touches the heart strings of even the most macho of men and a great record to bring the night to a close. Great bassline, drums, vocals and breakdown, what more can I say? Oh yeah – the legendary Cheryl Lynn provides the backing vocals. Toto formed as a group of six studio musicians in 1977 and means “total” or “all-encompassing” in Latin. The band were still going strong until 2008 and had a string of hits including “Africa” and “I Won’t Hold You Back”; however, it’s definitely Georgy Porgy that takes the prize, kisses the girls and makes them cry!

Late Night Audio Presents Dasvolt & Brennan Green

Paul — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 08:47:10 +0000

Our pals in London, Late Night Audio come up trumps again with a stellar line up including Dasvolt (Live) and the genius that is Brennan Green (Chinatown, Brooklyn, NYC), Saturday 4th April, ably supported by residents Mr Clark and Mr Tobias. This is going to a memorable soiree, a trip down the M1 is in order methinks – seriously recommended!

CL003 : Paul Jenks

Paul — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 11:00:29 +0000

A laidback mix with a gentle grove from Cutloose resident Paul, slip into a warm bath, read the newspaper and forget your worries. We’ll try to get him to put the playlist up shortly! Enjoy Marble Magic.

The Popular People’s Front – Stop On By [LeoZero Edit]

Paul — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:36:43 +0000

It’s not often I’m lost for words but when I first heard this LeoZero aka Leo Elstob (A Mountain of One) edit of Chaka Khan & Rufus’ ‘Stop on By’, it sent a bolt like shiver down the back of my neck culminating in a loss of control of my bodily functions – succinctly, superb is how I would describe this edit.

The Popular People’s Front edits inspired by SWAG maestro Chris Duckenfield are certainly, with the odd exception, truly excellent and do what an edit should do , i.e. improve the original whilst bringing something new to the table. The original Chaka Khan & Rufus record (1972) was based on a slow funk riddled groove punctuated by Khan’s stunning vocals.

The LeoZero edit is beefed up nicely with a breakdown to remember and a sensual beat throughout, a perfect way to end the night!

Nicky Staples – Lo-Salt Mix

Paul — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 21:43:05 +0000

Modest mouse little nicky staples waltzes into the cutloose studios and delivers a nice little mix to get the week going. Nicky casts off his affiliation with his dark techno roots and produces a sublime disco experience, drawing upon his sojourns from lands afar such as Basildon and Colne Valley. We can only hope he rejoins us again in the real world soon.

Daniel Wang – Panoramic [Acid Cha Cha]
Morgan Geist – Jersey Chica
Alexander Robotnick – Mexicana
Popular People’s Front – Get Down Shep
Tyrone Brunson – Fresh
Dazz Band – Let It All Blow
Material – Bustin’ Out
Bad Skinned – Bad Skinned
Gabe Catanzaro – Nothing To Loose
Nick Chacona – Meso Loco [Putsch 79 Remix]
Star You Star Me – Antidis
Common Factor – Lovely Ladies
Putsch 79 – Las Palmas
Dirty 30 – Red Temple Balls [Brennan Green One Night Stand Disco Mix]

60 seconds with Frank Timms aka Soundstream

Paul — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 10:03:29 +0000

You seem to be spending a lot more time in the studio at the moment, is this a conscious decision to concentrate on the production side of things?

Unfortunately I haven’t spend as much time as I wished in studio in 08, I hope 09 will be more productive for that. If it were up to me, I would lock myself up in my studio and lose the key but between gigs and other responsibilities it isn’t really possible. But to answer your question, I am more a production guy than a performer, I enjoy the stage and playing live, however I love to produce tracks.

It seems clear to me anyway that your productions are inspired by a range of musical influences house, disco and techno, what were your early influences as a youth growing up?

I grew up mainly with black music, soul, disco and then later house. Detroit and Chicago have always influenced my music. But also the early Berlin rough techno left its mark. I try, through Soundstream / Soundhack to produce a deep, sometimes dark, everlasting sound.

Have you any new productions in the pipeline?

I have so many unfinished tracks, I would like to bring some of them out in 09 but it will depend on my schedule.

People are looking forward to you playing in Manchester – what is your perception of the city and its nightlife?

My Manchester experience has been mostly through smith’n’hack, which was great fun, the Manchester crowd was great and I hope to give them as fun a night as they have given me in the past.

Did you make any New Year resolutions?

Oh yeah…. More time in studio

Was Not Was – Out Come The Freaks

Paul — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 08:46:25 +0000

A band which quite clearly derives and is inspired by Detroit sound your talking not only Motown, Clinton but Coltranesque vibes and with a nod to Frank Zappa. Out Come The Freaks is one funk ass driven piece of music perfect for any part of any night. The vocals from Sweet Pea Atkinson are proud and tall and accompanied by the dance/ Detroit sound provided by the bass of Don Fagenson – shiiiiiit your laughing!

Loud-E

Paul — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:53:29 +0000

Rard Laudy aka Loud-e began DJing in his late teens and was born in the Southern part of Holland near The Hague. He first started out playing acid and electro but true to form and very much in keeping with his chameleon like vibe he was always looking for something more along the funky and psychedelic sound – now you’re talking my language!

This subtle change in direction was brought about because he was sick of DJ’s in the same line up as him bringing the same records to the party. So he decided just to play the playable stuff he found at flea-markets, dusty secondhand stores and in the 1 euroboxes at bog fairs – sound!

Loud-e can be heard playing alongside Alexander Robotnick, Marco, Tako, Dave Clark, Suburban Night amongst others and has had recent releases of his own productions on Ambassadors Reception and Objects of Desire.

Party update – Theo Parrish at Spektrum Manchester

Paul — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:01:35 +0000

We hope since the launch of the website two weeks ago you have an understanding of what Cutloose is about and what it hopes to represent going forward. As mentioned we hope the diverse range of guests we intend to have playing underpins our philosophy of good music and good parties.

As you are all probably aware we have a Mr. Theodore R Parrish playing in September and we are delighted that he has agreed to play our opening night. Without being over evangelical about Theo; there is something for every music lover ranging from Hamilton Bohannon to the likes of Mike Huckaby and Omar S, notwithstanding his own productions.

Each set is carefully put together like a piece of renaissance art. That alone should be incentive to get Manchester cats down to Cutloose and see Theo at work!

This diverse blend of musical influences is never better shown in Theo’s project Rotating Assembly with house tracks which range from sweet vocals and soulful instrumentals to gritty, repetitive loops. This loose Detroit outfit evolves around 21 people, who exchange talents and energy. All tracks are written and produced and masterminded by Theo, who has given them his (sound) signature sound.

Artists included in the band are: Genevieve (known for vocals with Recloose), Maat Lo (aka Billy Lo), Marcellus Pittman (3 Chairs), Rick Wilhite (3 Chairs), Warren Harris (recorded with Dan Curtin) and Andres. Also newcomers such as Karen Bosco (vocals) John Dougalas (trumpet), King Sunshine & Trent Mitchell (double bass) put in incredible effort to make this release a top Sound Signature title. This variety is never more apparent in the two productions below.

Productions

A jazz flavoured episode: Rust organic

Slow grooves and drums: Stomp

Playing over the majority of the night fusing, soul, funk, disco, house and techno this a night every cat should be present.
