neuer teil der good times dj-mix-serie von norman jay. die good times goes east partys in der st john church im londoner stadteil hackney sind eine institution der club-kultur der britischen hauptstadt. norman jay, lange teil der talkin loud-familie, ist seit den 80er jahren als dj tätig und dafür bekannt in seinen sets einen genre-übergreifenden mix zu realisieren. so ist *good times - skank & boogie* musikalisch entsprechend weit gefächert: von laurel aitken über deodato bis hin zu paul johnson reicht der bogen. ska, house und exotischer pop treffen schlüssig aufeinander. jay, der auch bei der bbc eine radiosendung unterhält, wurde inzwischen mit dem orden mbe (the most excellent order of the british empire) für seine besonderen verdienste um die musik-kultur ausgezeichnet und wird in seiner heimat liebevoll als godfather of club culture bezeichnet. das vinyl erscheint als 2lp (180g) + mp3 und beinhaltet einen bonus track (baby washington - think about the good times).

last spotted together on the cut some three years ago with their eponymous debut lp, the crew like kaidi tatham, akwasi mensah, matt lord, and dego ‘ranks’ mcfarlane reunite for this fresh 2000black 12&#8243,,,,,. off the christmas card list is apparently a precursor to a second album from the quartet and it’s the last 12&#8243,,,,, in a fine year for 2000black that saw the killer dego lp as the centrepiece. the a-side is dedicated to the title cut, an endlessly slinky boogie number that really showcases the collective musicality of this crew, whilst the b-side is split between “hurry whilst they are away” and “fila high”. the former is bugged out beat down west london-style, and the latter a killer latin-flecked cut.

this is a very proud moment for me. when i started 2000black i wanted to release music that was of today respecting the past and looking towards the future. timeless sounds regardless of genre or tempo. *fresh fromage* is that track - dego
already played by radio 1s benji b and soundsignatures theo parrish.

drew lustman is widely known for his work as faltydl but on 2000black we know him simply as drew. *put it out there* displays drews ability to take you on a musical journey within a club music track, whilst *a thorough study* takes a look at sonic emotion. the remix of *a thorough study* is by mr goodgood aka dego. strictly on wax for now.
