    - The Golden Maverick on Power FM
    Playlist Sun 24/11/02
    Noon'ish to 3:00pm

    Hail fellows well met. I was particularly late for the show so big up to Krossphader for hanging on in there until I arrived on the scene. I had to break into my house to get my records so I was really late and just grabbed what came to hand.

    It could have been very messy but I managed to cobble a show together with what I brought down. Props to all callers and text-messagers, especially the one who told me I had big balls. They’ve obviously been stalking me. Here is Sunday's playlist:

    1 Give me the night – George Benson
    – I do apologise for this one but Krossphader was plating some eighties madness at the end of his show and I felt that an element of continuity would be nice.

    2 Got to have your love – Mantronix
    – All time dancefloor classic that might seem a little cheesey to some of the more discerning listeners but it’ll always be a rocking tune in my book of rocking tunes.

    3 They reminisce over you – Pete Rock & CL Smooth – I was peddled this album by a record shop owner who was charging the right price. It is as close to a chill out album as rap and hip-hop gets. Lots of lovely samples, loops and great rhymes from the gruesome twosome, Rock and Smooth.

    4 Natural woman – Aretha Franklin
    – This is one of those songs that I wish I’d written and sung, but to be honest if I’d written it and sung it, it most likely wouldn’t sound as good. Oh well.

    5 Hold on – Willie Hutch
    – This is a bit of a funky number from Mr Hutch and this choice cut appears on Roots Manuvas’ Bad Meaning Good compilation.

    6 Three is the magic number – Bob Dorough
    – The original of the De La Soul classic which appeared on ‘3 feet high ..’ this tune has a little more emotion involved than the cover. If you like the cover then you’ve definitely got to have the original.

    7 Blow your whistle – The Soul Searchers
    – These seventies funksters let rip with an absolute rocker. It’s full on from start to finish and as such is not for the fainthearted.

    8 Theme from S Express – S Express
    – Enjoy this trip into my indulgence of my teenage years. This one is from the late eighties and I’m sure I had a few dancing competitions where the next few tunes were playing. Needless to say I don’t think I ever won any competitions or break-offs but I did amuse several people in the process.

    9 Beat dis – Bomb the bass
    – Oh yeah, I got down to the funky beat whenever I heard this one and I have to admit that I had a little wiggle in the studio when this was playing. Shame on me.

    10 Gonna make you sweat – C&C Music Factory
    – Indeed, they will make you sweat more than if you were at a Joe Dolan concert in Mullingar. I played this one for B form IDNB.com because she was asking what happened to these guys only the other week.

    11 I love you – Shut up and Dance
    – Taken from the album ‘Black Men United’ which is pretty hit and miss, this is one of the tunes that shines through. A lot of the tunes are crap but there’s about three or four on this double album that make it worth keeping.

    12 Superfunky Bird – Lightning Head
    – This is from the new album ‘Studio Don’ and I can’t say enough good things about it. If you don’t believe me then buy it yourself because you’re not getting mine.

    13 Perpetual Dawn (Ultrabass 2) – The Orb
    – Great remix of this old Orb tune, this is on a twelve inch from many moons ago.
    14 Shakatakadoo Dub – Kruder & Dorfmeister
    – This is a dub style slow builder that appears on a Sonar Kollectiv compilation from 2000.

    15 The creator has a masterplan
    – Brooklyn Funk Essentials (More Rockers Mix) – This great song appears on a Mystic Brew compilation from Fat City Records and is just one of many gems on there.

    16 Byeway – Metamatics
    – I can’t remember what the name of the album this is taken from is called but it’s their most recent and is very nice. Trust me.

    17 Ekred – Esem
    – If you believe me then this is great, if you believe others then it’s crap. Either way I played it so you can make your own mind up about it.

    18 Hello, this one is for you – Hermann & Kleine
    – This appears on a Morr Music compilation that also features great artistes like Lali Puna, Arovane and The Notwist. It’s all great, I swear.

    19 Blue Screen – Cim
    – More DeFocus stuff. This is taken from the album ‘Reference’, the debut from Cim.

    20 Side partin’ – Jimmy Behan
    – This is one of the Road Relish seven inches which was released by the Road Records crew on Dublin’s Fade St. It’s got a nice guitar lick and nice handclapping sounds, the staple of any good song if the truth be tod.

    21 Big time sensuality – Bjork
    – I think that this is a ‘Fluke’ remix of her very famous tune. It appears on her new best of album that has a name but I can’t remember it.

    22 Superfly guy – S Express
    – Another gem from the S Express crew.

    23 Sweetest feeling – Ce’cile
    – This is a nice dancehall tune from not too long ago. It’s got a great rhythm and a nice vocal to boot.

    24 Rhymes like a scientist – Third sight
    – This tune has a sample in it that sounds like it’s from a DJ Shadow tune but I wasn’t sure which one. This is an attempt to create some sort of link with the next tune.

    25 Stem/Long stem – DJ Shadow
    – This was used on a Guinness ad if I remember correctly. It’s taken from his ‘Endtroducing’ album which I’m getting into again after forgetting about it for several years.

    26 Kemistry (VIP mix) – Goldie
    – I thought I’d play this for Goldie as he looked like he was getting kicked out of the Big Brother house last week. I don’t know if he did because I didn’t look at the programme over the weekend. Good man Goldie.

    27 Lots of lovin’ – Pete Rock & CL Smooth
    – This was the point in the show where I started getting romantic and all that kind of stuff. Great tune from their 1992 album.

    28 Love train – The O Jays
    – More tunes with love in the title, this one rocks. I was asked to play an O Jays tune last week but it wasn’t this one. Who cares this one is great.

    29 Follow the leader – Erik B & Rakim
    – Whenever I hear this one it makes me move.

    30 Nautilus – Bob Jones
    – The previous tune features a very short sample from this tune, just enough so that you’d recognise it. Ok just enough so that trainspotters like me recognise it.

    That’s it. I’ll be back next week between 12 and 3 GMT with plenty more tunes and nuggets of wisdom. Ok just plenty more tunes if I’m honest. Keep it real or as close as possible.

    The GM
