Today's Desert Island Disco is being hand delivered to you by one Mr Stephen Conway AKA Red. He works backstage at a production of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, so he's got some sweet treats for you to get your ears, minds and bodies moving to the desert island of destiny:
"My mix is a combination of songs that immediately sprung to mind (Harry Belafonte, Dolly, Jackie Wilson) and an intense look into the depths of my memory!
I spent a considerable amount of time putting this list together, not because I couldn't think of what to add, more to do with having too much! I look at the list now and already it's different to how it started. I'll probably see it again next week and it would be different again. I'm already seeing a distinct lack of Motown here which is a travesty. I don't think there is another genre of music that has such broad appeal and the ability to get everyone and anyone dancing!
As for my list so far, it seems to be split between 'classics' and tracks from the late 90's/early 00's. These were my teenage years. I remember getting some decks when I was about 17 and had a copy of Scanty Sandwich which I could quite handily do a pretty naff beat mix with. That, into Zombie Nation if I'm not mistaken. It's safe to say my career as a house DJ was confined to the bedroom.
The 'odd' choice here would be Killing In The Name Of, I chose this one because it reminds me of sticky floors, snakebite and dark and sweaty clubs. I've heard it at rock nights and in the middle of house sets and to be fair, it does the job. It gets people moving! Dolly is a given. I challenge anyone to hear the first two seconds and not either smile or start tapping their feet along. Harry Belafonte is just an outright self-indulgence choice. I bloody love this song!!
MJ is MJ, King of Pop....
Stevie is a Wonder.
Young MC is 'that' rap song that I kind of know the first bit of. Plus it's a sample from Shaft.
Oh.... and Shake a Tail Feather - Ray Charles and Blues Brothers"
