By the end of the eighties there was a revival of jazzy grooves
on the Brittish ‘Acid Jazz’ label. It released jazz, street-soul, funk,
jazzrap, hiphop, retro-kitch and so. Founded by Gilles Peterson
and Eddie Piller. Later Gilles Peterson started the Talking Loud label.
This is one of the first releases under the name Totally Wired. A bunch
of compilations followed. It was specially made for the Club Dancing
Scene, but we used to play it a lot in our local coffeeshop too. Our
public loved it. soulful, funky jazzy, wild stuff ..

ervan. Zielvolle, funky jazzy, wild spul ..

Speaking of football, or soccer, whatever you prefer, I decided
to make a collector about it. It begins with a track from a cd
full of 78’s collected by John Peel’s wife. Nice old song, in the
middle we have two African songs, one Colombian and another
oldie with the Marx Brothers. On no.13 we have a track sung by
no one less than Pelé, with Sergio Mendes and on 20 a quite bad
Dutch caranaval song by our own Johan Cruyff, you wont believe
your ears. Most songs are Brazillian and about the famous Rio-club
Flamengo or Pelé, get it & spread it…
