Upcoming: Keb Darge & Lucinda Slim - This Is DJ's Choice Vol.2 CD / LP (Unique)
Keb Darge & Lucinda Slim - This Is DJ's Choice Vol.2 CD / LP
It has been some time since the first edition of DJs Choice was released, on which Swiss DJs Soulinus and Pun introduced their favorite pieces. However with such high class DJs on the upcoming DJs Choice it's worth the wait. This time it's none other than Keb Darge - Deep Funk Legend and passionate Soul Dancer - turn to make his decision about what to put on the This Is DJs Choice Vol 2'. By his side - the adorable Lucinda Slim. A real lady who makes men's hearts beat faster and who's got some real goodies in her record box. As expected Keb and Lucinda did their homework and put together a high-quality collection. Songs like Howlin Wolf's ‚You'll Be Mine', 'Come On Train' by Don Thomas or 'Beggin' by Timebox. This compilation is a must have for every record collection and for every good party.
Keb Darge is the most famous DJ of the genres of Northern Soul and Deep Funk. At the age of 22 he already wanted to settle down. Fortunately some promoter could convince him to delay the retirement and instead establish the Northern Soul sound in London. In 1987 Keb had to sell a big part of his Northern Soul collection and passed over his DJ-sceptre to Mark Dobson (aka Butch). However Keb kept lots of other records which he christened 'Junk Music' believing they were worthless. A mistake as this so called 'Junk Music' was the basis for what would become later the legendary 'Deep Funk' genre.
During the middle of the 90's Keb and record collector mate Mark Cotgrove (aka Snowboy) were looking for a venue where they could spin their funk music. With Madame Jojo's - a strip club in Soho - they found it. The club offered them one night a week and it became such a great success that Madame Jojo's was to turn into a full music club leaving its striptease past behind.
Nowadays the Madame Jojo's still is THE spot for Funk lovers. Even now Keb still enters the Jojo's turntables each Friday to deliver the Deep Funk sound. He gets support by his compilation colleague Lucinda Slim who is actually called Nia Saw. Just like Keb Darge she isn't an unknown quantity - as one of Zap Mama's vocalists since 1997 she recorded 4 albums and toured round the globe. Additionally she's a successful DJ and already worked with artist such as Sergio Mendez, Youssou N'Dour, Krewcial or Raw Deal.
