John Gray is, imo, the best living philosopher we have right now. I still vividly remember reading Straw Dogs nearly 20 years ago. An utterly exhilarating experience for a book of nonfiction, that I read in one day - and started reading for a second time the next day.

Hereā€™s a link to the party in 1986 that they mention. A guy called Gerald dancing in it too.

I just read there that the dj here, Mastermind Herbie, mixed the Electro compilations on Street Sounds.

Such a great track, thereā€™s an acapella on the quite expensive 12" as well, itā€™s not a real typeface, apparently they just made it up for the songā€¦

Forum member @Donald.Dust played it when he played for me last year in one of favourite mixes iā€™ve recorded from Palms.

The first proper dance club I ever went to featured a dance display by Foot Patrol doing a routine to Movinā€™ ā€˜88 by Brass Construction.

This clip is fantastic.

The interview with Aniff Akinola that Andrew posted is brilliant - the love for the music and social context of it all really comes out. Great stuff.

Herbie was an amazing DJ, as were most of Mastermind. Notting hill carnival legends.
