* Black Music Month with My Vinyls *

gimme a beat with babymonster

Last weekend, I was reorganising my vinyl collection and reminiscing about the good times, before the pandemic. The time when nights were never ending and standing closer to the people meant that you were having good times. Frankly speaking, I already stopped going out to the clubs regularly long before the pandemic. As a matter of fact, I stopped DJ-ing because I didn't see the point in only going to the club to play the music; it only made sense for me when I was balancing the two: going out and dancing or DJ-ing and dancing. And when I stopped enjoying the club scene, I turned even more to the live music: going to the festivals and gigs totally replaced my 30 something years clubbing habit. Nevertheless, when I was going through my vinyls, I remembered those, almost forgotten, club days: packed clubs, people mesmerized by the combination of the music, drinks and heated rooms, dancing their night away. As you can imagine, the whole activity took a bit longer than planned. I started playing one record, then the remix, then the one that I usually played together with the last one... so, what started as an organizing activity turned out to be a very long DJ session. And it even ended with at-home, after party, when I got to those vinyls that I never took "clubbing" and that instead, I played on easy, intimate evenings at home.. All of this inspired me for tonight's show, so I've decided to play a selection of those vinyls that brought back the strongest memories. But there is also an additional twist ... Throughout the month of June Black Music Month was/is all over my social media and that actually triggered a vinyl reorganisation. Basically, what started as a search for one single (Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody) ended up as a walk down memory lane and the inspiration for tonight's show. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tune in tonight (21.06.2021) for Gimme A Beat #athome edition, to hear a selection of the songs from my favourite vinyls sung by black female artists.
