KODIEBLAK's channel

Well i'd say i'm bit of a vinyl junkie. I've been a collector of various genres of black music,for the past 30yrs. Soul / Northern / Modern / Xover Soul / Disco / Raregroove / Funk / Boogie / Deep House / Soulful Vocal House. In the early 80's i used to travel up and down the country,going to various soul events. All nighters / All dayers / Soul Weekenders / Scooter Rallies!!! to get that buzz listening to quality soul music and spending my hard earned cash on a nice piece of black vinyl. It was like a drug,the more you went the more you wanted and the more i wanted the more i went,if you get what i mean? I started Djing mid 80's,playing 70's and 80's Modern Soul @ Soul events,Scooterist nights,All-dayers and All-niters. Must say all those tapes i handed out back then paid off. I was asked to do a guest spot @ the Mayfair (GLASGOW ) where Edwin Starr was doing a gig. What a night,he belted out all his classics,the floor was packed to every tune. To my amazement afterwards,the man himself came up to me and shook my hand. Of course i got a photo with him! shame to say,when i went to get my photo's back none of them turned out. The memory's still clear though. From then i never looked back,i was doing slots @ Scooter Club-nights. For the C.V.S,GLOBETROTTERS,MARAUDERS,RENEGADE SOLDIERS. All-niters at STRATHCLYDE UNI,GLASGOW UNI,GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART,GLASGOW BARROWLANDS,STIRLING UNI,COLLAGE OF COMMERCE,PAISLEY TOWN HALL,THE BRIDGEGATE ETC. But through time i felt the Scooterist scene had got stale,same records getting played different venues,same format. So i decided to start my own night @HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS 1987 after speaking to Colin Mcgavigan. He was the guy who ran the club. He'd heard me on several occasions,doing a few slots,at the scooterist nights that were held there monthly. So i started up "SOUL SAUCE",monthly on a Sunday night! things took off well,i was asked to do a Monthly Friday night. I opened all 3 rooms @ the venue,with guest Dj's every month. ROOM 1..70's,80's Modern, Indie, Raregroove. ROOM 2..Chillout..Jazz,Deepsoul,Ballads. ROOM 3..Northern,Oldies,Newies,Obscure..Then in 91 the STUDIO closed i thought it was the end for me,until i was approached by John Laird of the ROCKGARDEN. There i held a residency until 2002,not bad i'd say !! 11 years @ the realm doing what i do best,spinning my grooves.
From 91 - 2011, i'd say my musical preferences have changed. Although i've given up the djing last year,i'm still playing soul but more influenced by Deep House & Soulful House. Over the years i've played at various events,Radio stations.
