CKJ505's review:

Really enjoyed that one, did not realise the old EMC intro was an actual song.


What stood out ; Danelleya Cotton's Rare Child,


MaXim's choice on modern funk song from Planet Funk, the Great Shake. I liked that one, very catchy with a hint of an 80's synth thrown in to catch the listener.


Mace2theO's pick on Larry G's sick funky bass beat with a host of other stars.


Overall funky and we get to hear the real MaXim. or is it?

SeeNote's review:

It normally takes me a while to get through a full webcast, but my iPod and I are happy to report that I was able to absorb this creation in one day!

My hat goes off to you gents, as you most definitely know how to pull off an entertaining and FONKY episode!

Many thanks for the musical enlightenment.

Happy New Year and see you in 2012

Maceo Webcast #28 - Dayton Funk '76-'80

Maceo Musicology Webcast #28 (The Funk of Dayton, Ohio_'76-'80) by Mace2theo on Mixcloud

"Detroit, Memphis, Philadelipha, Minneapolis, Seattle 
and others all had turns as a musical centers of a 'sound.'   
From 1976 to 1980, Dayton, Ohio was 

the Funk Capital of the World"

Dayton, Ohio, the small industrial city of approximately 200,000 people located 50 miles north of Cincinnati, produced a series of popular funk bands with a string of national hits during the 1970s. Dayton?s Black community, in the 1960s and 70s, had a rich night life with numerous bars, clubs, and after-hours establishments. Street-wise tales drawing from experiences in the places like the Astro House, Fat Daddy's, and the Ebony club frequently surfaced in the lyrical content of Dayton's first nationally-renowned funk band, the Ohio Players.

During the 1970s, industries such as a Chrysler plant, the Harrison Radiator factory, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base provided a stable income base for a population that was roughly 50 percent African-American. From this base came high-school bands who sought the stardom first achieved by the founders of Dayton funk, the Ohio Players. Their number one pop hits “Fire” (1974) and “Love Rollercoaster” (1975) set a standard for local bands to aspire to, and six different record labels had signed Dayton bands by 1978. 

The Ohio Players, Lakeside, Slave (featuring Steve Arrington), Heatwave, Sun, Faze-O, Zapp (featuring Roger) and Wood Brass & Steel all claimed Dayton as their home. Members of these bands were recent high school graduates in the early 1970s and relatively new as professional musicians, having received formal and informal musical training in Dayton?s public schools and social networks with older musicians.

These bands were among the most prolific hit makers of the era, compiling more than 110 charting rhythm-and-blues singles between 1972 and 1988. Dayton funk bands all featured dance music with an emphasis on heavy bass, aggressive rhythms, complex horn arrangements, ensemble vocals, and showstopping choreography.

 

Slave, which had strong ties to the Ohio Players, scored a national hit with “Slide” in 1977 and continued to make hits through 1983. Crosstown rival Lakeside moved to Los Angeles before striking it big with “It’s All the Way Live” in 1978. Keith and Johnnie Wilder developed their band, Heatwave, while stationed in West Germany and returned to the United States with a global hit, “Boogie Nights,” in 1977. Roger Troutman and his band, Zapp, lasted into the 1990s with a slick, high-tech sound and dynamic show.

Maceo Webcast #27 – “Crazy Mama” Lulu Hughes

Maceo Musicology Webcast #27 - "Crazy Mama"

Maceo Musicology Webcast #27 (The Rock Funk of Lulu Hughes) by Mace2theo on Mixcloud

Comments on Triple Threat #2:

Ymaginatif wrote:

And two very very good contributions by Maceo jumped out: both terribly funky and rocky. One is his opener track and the other is in French. Candadian French. I'm not good at picking out names, so do tell us more about those!

SeeNote wrote: Currently jamming to the funk driven contribution by Maceo from the Quebec chick. Who is "Crazy Mama" again?

So who is this Quebec chick "Crazy Mama"  

I was in Montreal a few years back to visit my then-girlfriend, and we had to go to a music benefit concert for her work.  One of the artist on that bill was Lulu Hughes.  Of course, all the artists were Québécois and I didn't know any of them.  Just before Lulu came on, my then-girlfriend leaned over to me and said "I think you'll like her."  Naturally my arrogant self expected some  Celine-Dion-balladtype music, but instead I was blown away!

So I tracked down her cd at a used cd store in Montreal.  She has a tremendous voice (and she sings in French and English), but it was her music that made me a fan.  Then I got her 2nd cd and I fell in love.

She is "Crazy Mama"

She's been featured on a few of my webcasts, but have bought together several of her jams here in one show.

I did receive some help with the pronunciations.

Enjoy 

Blue-eyed soul chanteuse Lulu Hughes was born and raised in Quebec, first earning attention as a member of the Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir. In the decade to follow she kicked around the local scene fronting her own blues band, earning frequent comparisons to Janis Joplin, in addition to singing backup for everyone from Too Many Cooks to Barry White. 

After two years at the CASINO DE PARIS, Lulu returns home to present her first self-titled solo album in 2002. Her originality, her mix of influences such as funk, soul, rock, blues and swing earned her instant success with the first single ROCK WITH ME (WINNER OF THE SOCAN 2003 SONG OF THE YEAR AWARD).   Her dynamic debut leaves no one indifferent and in 2003, she was rewarded with two nominations at the ADISQ GALA (Quebec's version of the Junos in Canada, and the Grammys in the USA) for BEST FEMALE ARTIST and REVELATION OF THE YEAR.

Crazy Mama, released in 2006, is a powerful blend of rock, soul, funk and swing bringing her once again to a new level. 

Lulu, versatile and surprising, released a new album in 2010, with her new band the Montreal All City Big Band,  with 20 musiciens and 3 back up singers. The album was launched on June 2 , 2010 at l’Astral in Montreal.

The review from CKJ505

Just a great podcast...

I just adore the interaction with her majesty and you. Maybe her majesty should do her own.

The opening track is just amazing, it's Zeppelin mixed with a bond theme.

It should be a bond theme really as it just has that something very different from anything else I have ever heard. It's wonderful.

Totally new to me but I have to say 'I am a big fan!'

An amazing artist, thanks for the introduction to the Crazy Mama.

I will follow, she has 1 more fan!

What's your favourite "band" colour?

This is CK's Rainbow

To say I enjoyed putting this together would be a definite Yes.

I grabbed from here and there, even "recorded" some terrible quality songs and tried to make them better. Apologies if some of the recordings are poor but it was like trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

I did make a boo boo on the mic near the start but I left it alone as I was too lazy to go back and re-do the error.

I messed around with it maybe too many times and threw in a few surprises, i.e. mixes and a small bit of humour.

and yes the font is from emancipation.

Kramor2k's Very Random Podcast

Kramor2k's Very Random Podcast

So here it is. I had a long hard listen to all of Maceo's amazing podcasts and got plenty of good tips. Then I threw them all out the window. I could have posted this earlier but I needed to sit in my car own my own for an hour and 4 mins to have a good listen. Not really the exact tracks I would have chosen(all will become clear) but I feel it has a nice transition to it. Some very random tracks that some how fit together nicely. I will listen to it again tonight but here's your chance to have a listen.

Not posting a track listing as of yet. I prefer to listen to podcasts and be surprised to hear what comes next.........but if you really need a track listing there is one in the folder.

Just remember.....
It's very random......and sorry for the poor quality DJ. I promise volume 2 will be better.
Hope you have an hour to waste.....and hopefully you will enjoy some of this......
