This is the CD version of Volume 3 and 4 of our Slow Grind Fever series. The CD has all 30 tracks and comes with a 16 page booklet and track-by-track-notes. Vol. 3 was compiled by Richie1250, the mastermind of the Melbourne based Slow Grind Fever night. Vol. 4 was selected by DJ Diddy Wah (London).
Being a part time dj whose fave musical period is the decade between 1953 and 1963 one can dig forever in a bottomless pit of great danceable uptempo tunes. Even after years and years of bringing new and exciting tunes to light there still are new finds every day who fill the dancefloors around the world for fans young and old. We're talking Rhythm`n´Blues and the phase in the early 60s when it morphed into Soul (now called New Breed), as well as the genre that nowadays is labeled Popcorn – a midtempo style with a high groove-factor that was created in Belgium (of all places). Of course, when filling the box for a dj night one selects the fast and highly danceable stuff and maybe a few slower tunes to send people home in the morning.
The Slow Grind Fever series was created after stumbling over a clubnight in Australia via the internet: „Melbourne's only slow dance party, where they play the slowest, spookiest, sweetest records they can find, and folks dance real slow in a haze of smoke and dim red light.“
Well, what a concept! The Soundcloud-mixes the three dj's (Richie1250, Pierre Baroni, Mohair Slim) posted pretty quickly convinced the Stag-O-Lee chief that this is very exciting and after a few mails with the guys who run the Melbourne night the Slow Grind Fever series was born. Long may it run...
