Broad Spectrum Selections '05



Broad Spectrum was a weekly music event organised by Justin and I on a sunday afternoon.The basic idea was to play records we loved (which was perfect for lounging).There was no set style,anything was played (as long as it had groove and soul!) We didn't have any real ambition at this point except for a couple of heads to come along and listen to the music.The head of the river was the perfect intimate venue to showcase the music.Peter behind the bar was always accomodating & payed us dearly with bottles of corona! The above picture here is of a paddys day party the same year '05 with John Daly on the decks a year before he broke with the bird ep.I remember him saying over a smoke outside that '06 was going to be a big year for him.

Possessed by the Disco Monster





Ripple-The Beat goes On and On

It was close to forty eight hours after Wang had left Cork but his music still lingered on strongly.The tune whirled around the kasm breaking in and out.Never once pondering to ask the question what could this be?Though sub consiously the answer was already there.Could this sound have resulted from the trauma of the music within now intended for the universe.A seizure was coming on(helped greatly with the excessive amounts of JD&Coke!)that exhibits strange, unnatural powers, including levitation and great strength-maybe! A 12" ive never thought about in great detail, now ive given all my undivided attention to salsoul,there was no other way!Everytime time the music finished i was possessed to play it again,and again and again on and on and on-there truely was a message in the message-this isn't a coincidence,no way!-when would this ever end?It must have been over two dozen times-are the symptoms a psychosomatic result of a belief in demonic possession!?
