Get This Party Started

Chris Hill started DJ'ing in Soho in the late '60s. Chris established himself as the supreme Soul jock, firstly in a small club in Orsett and then at the Goldmine, Canvey Island. Throughout the 70's the club was a catalyst for the growing underground soul scene, and music fans from all over the country flocked to the legendary Saturday nights, many of whom went on to become stars in their own right: Sade, Spandau Ballet, Incognito, Light of the World. The Clash, Depeche Mode, Culture Club, Alison Moyet and Soul II Soul. At the height of it's fame, Chris decided to move closer to London and began his now legendary residency at Ilford's Lacy Lady. At the Lacy patrons were fed a diet of the best music black America had to offer; hard driving jazz funk, fusion and the hottest soul. These are songs hand picked by Chris Hill, the Godfather DJ of Soul, from his box of currently played new Soul anthems, a 2005 playlist from Chris' sets at Caister, the Lacy Lady and other venues where Soul is still the word. 14 tracks. Expansion. 2005.
