thus, following this logic my usual dj-nite at dynamo would go the following way - dress-wise: :D
1. i start with some jazz-funk fusion. i wear a white shirt, a dark tie and a black suit just like jimmy smith and just in case, to look cool, late 6ts/early 7ts style herbie hancock spectacles.
2. i switch to some modern soul, take a step backstage where i'll change my clothes. this time, a proper 7ts u.k. soul boy/suedehead style with a ben sherman checkered shirt, levi's sta prest jeans and either adidas samba trainers or loakes broques on my feet. i've also managed to grrow my hair a bit longer and noticeable sideburns as well.
3. from modern soul i switch to vocal garage and deep house, with maybe a bit of nu-jazz as well. outfit: trendy beckham-style haircut, a g-sus shirt, evisu jeans and retro gola trainers.
4. a passage via nu-jazz to house to modern soul, a bit heavier sound this time, leading to some deep deep funk. suddenly, i've gone via the backstage room again, and voilá! now i've got a shaved head exactly like mr keb darge, a sergio tacchini tennis shirt (red one), levi's jeans, worn and old adidas gazelle trainers.
5. deep funk brings old skool ghetto breaks to my mind, i play a bit scorpios, ashley's roachclips, apaches and stuff, thus moving to hip hop. not loving the jiggy style of p.diddy, i rather wear my osama bin laden-style camouflage u.s. m65 combat jacket, a baseball cap and baggy as fuck polo ralph lauren jeans. shoes: timberland, caterpillar or the like. style reference: guru at the back cover of gang starr's 'hard to earn' lp.
6. to northern soul via a bit of funk from the hip hop stuff. going back to dj booth from the dressing room backstage, my outfit this time: a proper wigan casino mid-seventies hooligan soul boy. shirt: a sleeveless t-shirt with a raised black fist and 'heart of soul: wigan casino' print on it, flared jeans and oxblood doc martens on my feet. the nite ender track: 'open the door to your heart' by darrell banks.
as you see, it's all about fashion. :D
LOL :D
who cares bout the music when the dj has the right style and image! ahem!
