SLO-MO presents Kev Stevens and Craig Moogroove Thursday 6th May 2010

SLO-MO continues its foray into deep, funky and soulful sounds with the first of our guest nights.

Kicking off proceedings we've pulled in the talents of two of the best resident djs we've found in Glasgow. Kev Stevens and Craig Moogroove are resident djs and co-promoters of the fantastic Solar Disco parties held on the second Saturday of each month in the Brunswick Hotel basement which they run with their mate Paul Maelstrom.

Taking in sounds from the likes of Tensnake, Floating Points, 6th Borough Project, Cottam and various other cutting edge producers these guys regularly turn the Brunny basement into a proper sweatbox with full on body rockin sets. We've been seriously impressed since the first time we heard them and felt they'd be the perfect act to rock SLO-MO!

Craig Moog has been a player in the Glasgow music scene for the last decade. Now running the Solardisco club nights with Maelstrom (Eskimo Recordings/Mindless Boogie) and Kev Stevens. He also runs his own Electrofunkdiscotek nights alongside fellow Glasgow disco devil Billy Woods(Supermax). He can be found playing a sound that takes in Disco, Italo, Cosmic, Electronic, Balearic, Funk, and everything else in between.

Craig has played residencies in Glasgow to packed clubs in Europe,taking in Paris, Berlin and the O2 Arena in London for an aftershow along the way, also Djing with some of the greatest players in the Cosmic Disco/Nu Disco scene such as Pete Herbert (Reverso 68), Prins Thomas (Full Pupp), Rune Lindbaek (Noid), Dicky Trisco (Disco Deviance), Social Disco Club (Bear Funk), Fabrizio Mammarella (Bear Funk), Optimo (Oscarr), In Flagranti (Kitsune), Richard Sen (Padded Cell), Q-Burns (Eight-Tracks) and The Revenge (Jisco). Craig also runs the Disco/Electronic music blog PieceTogether.

Here's a recent mix from Mr Moogroove...

  Fragments Mix - (Electrofunkdiscotek) by Moogroove

Big Kev started djing around about 1999 or so in the legendary Buff Club in West End of Glasgow, playing along side the likes of Mark Robb and Nick Peacock spinning upfront Jazz, northern soul and deep funk.

He's played in numerous bars in Glasgow everything from HipHop to RareGroove, but has always loved the Disco and only really started delving more into the Disco vibes after hearing mixes from the likes of the Social Disco Club, Mark E, Pete Herbert.  This was also coupled with numerous nights getting down to the sounds provided by Melting Pots Andy Pirie and Simon Cordiner who introduced him to lots of music he's never heard before. 

This led him to start his own night with help from Craig Thompson and Paul Gordon… Solar Disco was launched and it embraces the Disco vibes, but they have also given it their own twist by playing more of an electronic sound incorporating House and Deep House music.  You can find Kev playing some of the best Electronic Disco grooves in Glasgow every Friday in the bar at Humming Bird.

As always our residents Charles Gardiner, Rob Firth, Chef De Party and Stuart Holbeck providing support.

See ya there.

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On medley - Mixed by Jay Negron

When Marvin Gaye originally recorded this groundbreaking LP, he used many different recording techniques.
He used 2 sets of vocals and separated them: falsetto on one side and tenor on the other. He also brought the rhythm section to the front with accent on the bongos. Motown bosses (Berry Gordy & Company) did not like the result and remixed it more conventionally for the 1971 release.

Thirty years later (2001) they finally released the original mix now called "The Detroit Funk Mix"; (after The Funk Brothers, the Motown rhythm section who played wonderfully in this session)

In 1971 as a 15 year old Jay Negron made a medley of the songs from this LP on a cassette.
Recently he was listening to all the remixes from this LP and decided to re-create the Medley he did but NOW using The Funk Brothers versions and a
great Jimmy Michaels mix on "Mercy Mercy Me".

It turned out just the way Jay wanted it to and i think its so good i just had to share it with you.

Medley includes:
"What's Going On", "What's Happening Brother", "God Is My Friend", "Mercy Mercy Me",
& "Inner City Blues"
