VA - Black Magic Treats, A Collection Of Northern Soul [1999]

Black Magic Treats, A Collection of Northern Soul is a compact yet vibrant showcase of Northern Soul’s underground pulse, blending rare grooves with cult favorites across 20 tracks.

Released by UK label KRL, this single-disc compilation taps into the genre’s deep vaults, spotlighting lesser-known artists whose recordings have long circulated among collectors and club DJs. Tracks like “Love You Baby” by Lorraine Chandler and “Blowing My Mind to Pieces” by Bob Relf exemplify the emotional urgency and rhythmic drive that define Northern Soul’s appeal. The Sharonettes appear multiple times, anchoring the set with girl-group harmonies and Motown-inspired arrangements, while cuts from Jimmy Soul Clarke, The Chantelles, and The Soul Fox Orchestra add stylistic breadth—from stomping floor-fillers to moody mid-tempo gems.

What makes this set notable is its emphasis on obscure UK and US pressings, many of which were rediscovered through the Northern Soul scene’s crate-digging culture. The sequencing favors variety over cohesion, but that’s part of its charm—it feels like a DJ’s personal stash, designed for surprise and movement. Though liner notes are minimal, the music speaks for itself, raw, heartfelt, and danceable.

For collectors and newcomers alike, Black Magic Treats offers a snapshot of Northern Soul’s enduring magnetism—where rarity meets resonance on the dancefloor. (B)

VA - After Hours, Northern Soul Masters Vol. 1-3 [2002-2005] (3 x CDs)

SOUL

VA - After Hours, Northern Soul Masters Vol. 1-3 [2002-2005] (3 x CDs)

This trilogy is a masterclass in Northern Soul curation, three double LPs drawn from the vaults of Atlantic, Atco, Loma, Reprise, and Warner Bros., compiled by Richard Searling and remastered by Giovanni Scatola. Spanning 1964 to 1974, each volume offers a distinct emotional arc, sequenced with care and pressed to vinyl with collector-grade fidelity.

Volume 1 sets the tone with Alice Clark’s “You Hit Me (Right Where It Hurts),” followed by deep soul and uptempo gems from Darrell Banks, Barbara Lewis, and Linda Jones. Volume 2 leans into gospel fire and Memphis grit, opening with The Apollas’ “Mr Creator” and featuring standout cuts from Wendy Rene, Joanie Sommers, and The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Volume 3 is the most eclectic, balancing cinematic tension and proto-feminist energy with rarities from Carl Hall, Delilah Keenebruew, and Sister Sledge.

Across all three volumes of After Hours, rarities are the lifeblood of the listening experience. Not just deep cuts verified soul sides that slipped through the cracks of commercial success but thrived in the underground. Many tracks were issued on regional labels like Kimtone, Inferno, and Breakthrough, often in limited pressings that now command collector attention. From Delilah Keenebruew’s “Bright Lights” to The Voice Box’s “I Want It Back (Your Love),” each selection is remastered with care, preserving the analog grit of the original 45s. Even the more familiar artists, Ben E. King, Linda Jones, Sister Sledge, are represented by lesser-known recordings that reveal new emotional layers. These volumes offer a tactile connection to the rarest grooves of the Northern Soul canon.

Across all three volumes, the selections are fully validated no bootlegs, no filler. Each track earns its place, whether it’s a dancefloor burner or a spiritual lament. For archivists and soul devotees, After Hours is a definitive portrait of Northern Soul’s emotional depth and rhythmic fire. (B)

SUNNDAY JAZZ

IKE QUEBEC & JOHN HARDEE

Ike Quebec And John Hardee - The Complete Blue Note Forties Recordings Of Ike Quebec And John Hardee [1990] (3 x CDs)

This 3CD box set from Mosaic Records, released in 1990, is a deep, smoky dive into the Blue Note vaults, an era when swing was loosening its collar and bebop was just starting to stir. The Complete Blue Note Forties Recordings Of Ike Quebec And John Hardee doesn’t shout, it smolders. And for collectors chasing the soulful, pre-hard bop tenor sound, this one’s a goldmine.

Ike Quebec’s tone is the star here, warm, breathy, and unhurried. His work with the Swingtet and Swing Seven is full of subtle fire, especially on tracks like “Facin’ the Face,” “Basically Blue,” and “Zig Billion.” These aren’t jukebox hits, they’re mood pieces, cut for 78s but built to last. Quebec’s phrasing is bluesy without being blunt, romantic without slipping into syrup. You hear the roots of soul jazz forming in real time.

John Hardee, often overlooked, brings a lighter touch but no less depth. “River Edge Rock” and “Hardee’s Partee” (both master and alternate takes) are tight, swinging affairs with a relaxed confidence. His tone is clean, his lines melodic, and his ensembles, especially the Sextet sides, are crisp and conversational.

The real gems? The alternate takes and unissued masters. These aren’t just filler, they’re windows into the studio process. You hear ideas stretch, solos shift, and arrangements breathe. Quebec’s “Blue Harlem” appears in both 10" and 12" 78 versions, offering subtle contrasts in feel and fidelity. And the inclusion of Tiny Grimes, Denzil Best, and Shadow Wilson across sessions adds rhythmic depth without overpowering the horns.

This isn’t a flashy set, it’s a slow burn. A document of two tenor voices carving out space in a changing jazz landscape. For Blue Note devotees, this box is a bridge between the label’s boogie roots and its hard bop future. For anyone tracing the lineage from swing to soul, this box is essential listening. (B)

Between 1982 and 1986, there was electricity in the air. 

The electro-funk movement emerged by blending traditional funk with the new electronic sounds made possible by advancing technology.  Pioneers like Afrika Bambaataa and Cybotron laid the groundwork with drum machine–driven rhythms from the TR-808.  At the same time, Prince and the duo Jam & Lewis modernized funk with synthetic, sensual productions that influenced all of R’n’B and pop.

Post-new wave groups such as Duran Duran, ABC, Heaven 17 and Human League also embraced these electronic textures, bringing British pop closer to the American funk sound.

This hybridization built a bridge between club culture, hip-hop, and new wave.

Thus, electro-funk became a crucial foundation for the electronic and dance music of the 1980s.
