Totally agree with your comments about Simon Reynolds' dismissive swipe of the post-punk, pre-house era. Great writer, but a cheap shot. Currently researching a project focused on a Trouble Funk show at the T&C Club in 1986. The idea is then to broaden the story to take in some of the material you've written about. Thank you for taking the time to post it - makes me glad that people haven't forgotten about a very exciting time.

Through the mid-80s, before house really took hold, the mess of sounds - African Hi Life, rocksteady and rockers, N Soul, and funk, Soul II Soul, original R&B, electro and so on.<br /><br />For me, the subsequent house and techno years were much more elitist, with jazzfunk DJs discovering electronic music and bringing their sensibilities to what started out as a very open minded scene.<br /><br />The fashions were cool, too, the last shout before sportswear really took over, from the patches, bumflaps, 'status' labels to the neo-mod gear.<br /><br />Great blog, by the way!Tim Londonhttp://www.timothylondon.netnoreply@blogger.com
