Finally found time to give electrofunkroots a complete overhaul, with full re-design and loads of new content. It’s the resource I’d always hoped it would become, and I’ll be adding to it more regularly from now on.

There’s a new Electrospective section, with interviews from the event back in ’08 (both video and transcribed) - pure knowledge from Mike Shaft, Colin Curtis, Hewan Clarke and Chad Jackson, 4 of the era’s most influential DJ’s, talking about Pre-Rave Manchester. Mike’s interview is currently online with the others to follow over the next 3 weeks:
Electrospective | Electrofunkroots

The early Piccadilly Radio mixes, ‘The Best Of 82’ and ‘The Best Of 83’ are now embedded, and can be streamed / downloaded (more back in the day mixes to be added in the coming months):
The Best Of 82 | Electrofunkroots
The Best Of 83 | Electrofunkroots

Then there’s the ‘Early 80’s Floorfillers’ podcast, again embedded on the site with label / sleeve scans and full credits (you can also get this as an ap, details on the page):
Greg Wilson’s Top 10 Floorfillers Jan ’82 | Electrofunkroots

There’s lots more stuff – articles, record lists, interviews etc. Hopefully you’ll go and have an explore for yourself.

Kicking ass and chewing bubble gum, but all out of
Fantastic Greg. I've just had a good old crawl over it. Especially enjoyed the interviews. I was meant to come and see you on Saturday but left it too late for tickets:(

A couple of lads from the office came down and said it was fantastic, with Gareth saying it was the best night out he'd ever had in Manchester and he's DJed out and about in town for 20 years...

Will aim to catch you next time :thumbsup:

Keep up the great work with the site!

That's nice to hear from your friend. Sorry you couldn't get a ticket. Should be back in Manchester around April / May. If you let me know your email I can keep you updated so you know what's coming up.

There's a lot of quality reading material there Greg, including a piece on the first 12'' I ever bought, Buffalo Gals, the track that broke me free from my older sister's musical tastes and set me on my musical journey through the Breakdance and Electro era, up until today were in recent years i've managed to get the 2 different label releases of Broken glass - Style Of The Street (so no royalties for you i'm afraid, sadly):cool:

It's all very nicely written, very informative and backed up by links and imagery and that give the articles a lot of depth and help to transport me back to time and places that I mostly missed out on due to my age and locality. I'm sure i'll be visiting it often though to learn about the history and check out new articles, so thanks for building a fantastic database of knowledge, and posting your mixes and remixes/edits:king:
