Hi to everyone on Disco Music. I thought I'd start posting up The Original Mastercuts Show on here as it's one of the longest running shows in the UK, so here is the first one of this year!
Blimey. It’s been 6 weeks since I’ve done a radio show what with Xmas stuff and then the BRILLIANT Luxury Soul Weekender with Jean Carn, Michael Henderson, Cool Million and a brilliant crowd and vibe for the first weekend of 2011. What a way to start a new year!
But great to be back and hopefully we’ll be joined by a whole bunch of new listeners to join the Sunday afternoon regulars. As per usual, we have a few exclusives, some stunning fresh mixes, the usual bunch of KILLER re-edits, some little-heard stunners from across several eras but all with one consistent thread running throughout the whole show – SOUL!
As a special treat, I believe my partner-in-crime Alan Champ will be dropping by as well, so expect the usual inane Sunday afternoon banter with a soundtrack to die for.
And it’s all LIVE!
Six Million Steps Presents The Original Mastercuts Show LIVE with Ian Dewhirst between 2.00-4.00pm on Sunday 23rd January 2011 on everyone’s favourite Soul station www.starpointradio.com.
Featuring……
Blue Magic * William ‘Smoke’ Howard * The Salsoul Orchestra * Crazy P * Chic feat Faith Evans * C & C Music Factory * Teena Marie * Carl Graves * The Fantastic Johnny C * Larry Wedgeworth & Clique * Wally Coco * Shirley Caesar * Lamont Dozier * George Frye * Loose Change * Patti Austin & James Ingram * David Ruffin * The O’Jays * Cee-Lo

Blimey, talk about chaos LOL. No headphones for the first 3 records so I couldn’t hear anything, then I kinda forgot which sliders to move. Thank God Champy arrived and bailed me out. Surprisingly it still sounds OK and, as ever, the music covers up any human deficiencies.

Never any rest for the wicked. Been a busy week as usual so as part of my three-step recovery from a ridiculous lifestyle, welcome to another 2 hours in the Soul Music Sunday afternoon comfort zone otherwise known as the Original Mastercuts Show!

So some regular show faves, some fabulous new re-edits, some under-exposed gems, a couple of exclusives and hopefully a wonderful exercise in whiling away a lazy Sunday afternoon. I’m looking forward to it!

Re: This Week's ORIGINAL MASTERCUTS Show on Starpoint Radio 2.00-4.00pm UK time LIVE!
Lovely crowd for the show this week, so many thanks for everyone who joined in the Sunday afternoon banter in the Starpoint chatroom. Also great to have a truly international audience which stretches from Melbourne, Australia to Dallas in Texas via Crystal Palace in Sarf London and all other points of the UK. The power of the internet is truly staggering and we’re lucky to have such a fantastic tool at our disposal, so many thanks to Sir Tim Berners-Lee from London for inventing it! Good on ya Tim!
Also many thanks to the new listeners who have joined us this year and to all the re-edit and remix enthusiasts, especially to those that are sending me stuff directly. There’s some truly awesome stuff coming through, many of which leave the originals in the shade, so thanks once again,

OK it was my birthday this week and for some weird reason I decided to celebrate over 3 days this year. So yep, naturally I’ll be completely knackered again for this week’s show LOL…
But not to worry, it’s a cracker this week ‘cos I’m playing loads of my faves! Got some real goodies this week right from the off with an exclusive belting Neil Thompson mix of a Frankie Knuckles gem with a twist!

Best pair of birthday presents I’ve had this year!
So it’s gonna be total self-indulgence for me this week! I’m treating myself. But hey, if I like it, then a few others will! Should be fun!
Also Alan Champ is threatening to drop by, so it’ll be like old days and will no doubt be the finale to 4 days of partying.
All this is just limbering up for Prestatyn from where we’ll be broadcasting LIVE next weekend so keep it Starpoint!

Re: This Week's ORIGINAL MASTERCUTS Show on Starpoint Radio 2.00-4.00pm UK time LIVE!
OK entirely predictable. 4 days of partying @ Prestatyn last weekend completely wiped me out for the whole of this week. We’re talking all round body aches, manflu and I’ve got the usual bloody chest infection which I get every year about this time! I’m not getting any younger that’s for sure……..
Big shout outs for everyone who was @ Prestatyn. Despite all the last minute problems it turned out great anyway, as we all knew it would. Great to link up with some of Starpoint’s elite squad for the 6 hour LIVE broadcast last Sunday afternoon so big thanks to Mark Randle, Colin Curtis, Paul Goldsmith, Dimitri Soul and Chris Box. Pretty good value ay?
Anyway, as always, it’s just great to get back to some serious music and we have the usual 2 hours of Soulful utopia which covers some current and recent Soulful House beauties, a spectacular Dimitri From Paris re-edit, some 70’s and 80’s beauties including an exclusive new re-edit on a Patrick Adams beauty, some zippy Modern Soul, some bone-breakingly great general Soul gems including a brand new release that will surprise many and a final half-hour of stone-certified classics. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon, so indulge yourself and enjoy the vibe……
Also it’s gonna be a full-house ‘cos Champy and a few guests will dropping by to see the show in action so we’ll be having a ‘lil party ourselves by the looks of it!

Wow, a busy, busy week. Spent most of my time trying to put together something incredibly special for the 40th Anniversary of Philly International and if it all comes off it’ll be nothing short of spectacular! Watch this space for further details but roll on July…..

Re: This Week's ORIGINAL MASTERCUTS Show on Starpoint Radio 2.00-4.00pm UK time LIVE!
Phew that was a pretty intense weekend LOL. I seem to have been plagued with sound problems and technical issues all weekend for one reason or another, so apologies to anyone who suffered the raw end of the deal. Sometimes machinery and I just don’t hit it off but, hey, sometimes you have to take it on the chin ‘cos it comes with the territory! It generally works out in the end.
So techy issues aside, it’s a cracker of a show this week with plenty of scope for conversation from the BRILLIANT Victor Rosado rework of a Loleatta Holloway classic with the added bonus of Ron Tyson to the pure Soul of Dr Rubberfunk and especially John Turrell – what a record! Plus some ridiculously great remixes and re-edits and that wonderful, but almost totally unknown killer slow version of Larry Saunder’s “On The Real Side” by the song’s writer, Tommy Keith, which had everybody and the phone ringing off the hook. What a beauty ay?

Phew. One hell of blast over the last 10 days. Last weekend saw me over at the brilliant Baltic Soul Weekender where I had the pleasure of meeting The Trammps again (first time since Cleethorpes in the mid 70’s), Ann Sexton, Gloria Scott, Marc Evans again and loads and loads of new friends. An absolutely mind-blowing weekend which I’ll remember forever! And then a couple of days back home before Al and I headed up to Hull for the Hull Soul club and had a lovely beginning to the Bank Holiday weekend – so big shout outs coming for the good people from Germany and Hull!

Blimey, that bank holiday weekend went quick. Busy week again folks so no time to wax lyrical this time. Suffice to say, it was the usual Original Mastercuts musical odyssey through several different eras featuring some incredible mixes and some all-round killer tunes. Business as usual then! Plus of course whenever Al and I get together you can guarantee a certain amount of inane banter plus the added attraction of being joined by Dave W just before his show, so a great bank holiday show all round and an absolute gas to co-host!

Big big thanks to everyone who joined me this Sunday afternoon and made the show go with a real swing! The Starpoint chatroom was the busiest I’ve ever seen it and we had our usual bevy of regulars from around the world just to spice things up! A thoroughly brilliant afternoon and hopefully I’ll be catching up with many of you on my travels over the next couple of months!
Anyway down to business. HUGE interest in the Self Made Millionaire feat Al Mason creatively brilliant re-edit of “Good Lovin’”, the usual ton of messages about the incredible Jimmy Michaels remix of Eugene Record’s brilliant “Take Everything” (LOVE those steel drums), plenty of enthusiasm for the new Frankie Knuckles tune (which sounds best when it’s LOUD) and a stack of enquiries about the absolutely brilliant Onur Engin final re-edit of the Jackson’s “Show You The Way To Go” which will finally be available in a couple of months touch wood.
All in all, a belter of a show this week folks! Download link below……

Got back from Rimini @ 4.00am this morning and I’m up and about and ready for another slamming show LIVE @ 2.00pm today! Big shout-outs for everybody who’ll be wasted @ Morecambe this weekend – my sympathies are with you all and I’m sure the B&B owners are crushingly disappointed that I couldn’t make it this year LOL.
Also looking forward to being Eddie Piller’s guest on his monthly i-tunes Modcast this coming Thursday – available to download for free from Friday:-

A big shout out to everyone who was @ The Luxury Soul Weekender in Birmingham last week. A great show from Eric Benet and an all-round great vibe made for a brilliant weekend.
Busy day again today. We’ve got the show going out LIVE from 2.00-4.00 today and then I’ll be hot-footing it down to East Village in Hoxton for a Six Million Steps gig with special guest Jeff Young. If you’re in town then come down and join us. It’s FREE!
Anyway down to business and this week we’ll be doing the usual trawl through the era covering as many bases as we can over the 2 hours plus some perennial favourites. I think I’m being joined in the studio this week by fellow Starpoint DJ Carl Mason so it should be fun and games before we boogie on down to Hoxton.
These weekends are killing me LOL…..

Well, I just had the last couple of weekends off but somehow there never seems to be enough time does there….blah blah blah……..
Let’s just cut to the quick OK?If you do nothing else this week, make sure you listen to this Sunday’s show comin’ right atcha from 2.00-4.00 pm LIVE!
This show is very organic. I have no idea how each one will turn out until I’m finally happy listening to the finished result myself. This one’s a F*CKIN KILLER! The only thing that can possibly go wrong, is if I f*ck up the presentation or if the stream gets hacked etc, etc, etc. Musically it’s perfect for a show which bounces around the different eras (I hope LOL). For instance, this week the first half-hour concentrates on a 70’s Motown kinda vibe with some interesting remixes and re-edits going on, the second half-hour looks at an interesting Sister Sledge housed-up remake of a Chic classic plus some incredible fresh re-edits of some of the show’s regular faves, the third half-hour looks into UK produced Northern Soul and some underplayed 70’s gems and the final half-hour sees the show glide into a heady mixture of the old and the new. A total gas putting this one together and looking forward to spreading the joy!

OK, this is the first show I’ve managed to post for the last 4 weeks due to some technical snafus that buggered up the previous couple of shows on download, so apologies for anyone who’s been trying to collect all of ‘em!
However, we’re back with a vengeance now and I’m pleased to say that this week’s show is a goodie to come back with! Much interest in the very hard-to-find “Up The Ladder To The Roof” – The Supremes remix, plus good vibes on the Jackson 5, Gwen McRae and Trammps re-edits, the Orlando Johnson and Jamiroquai new releases along with the usual bunch of goodies from across the eras. Enjoy!

Damn. One of the few weekends where I’m actually not partying due to pressure of work and deadlines. I wonder how that happened? So a big shout out to everyone who’s up in Birmingham at the EMS Weekender – they’ll all be well-lubricated and partying their asses off round about now! However, for the rest of us that are working (lol), the show must go on and I’m delighted to be joined by my Original Mastercuts co-founder and co-presenter, the mysterious and slightly weird, Alan Champ for tomorrow’s LIVE extravaganza!
Also I got into a bit of an MJ mood this week and then realised it’s been 2 years since he passed away, so I’ve indulged myself with a couple of his greatest tunes for a start. Plus we have some absolutely stunning re-edits on some wonderful tunes this week, some true Northern Soul, some killer slow-groovers and a few anthems chucked in for good measure. Yes folks, it all adds up to another groovin’ Sunday afternoon LIVE session with the original team. What’s not to like?
