For Norman Jay (MBE no less), music is about fundamentals, whether they be the rudimentary processes behind the decks, the compository nuances of a track or the aspects of any given crowd. As he explains when describing the style of music that inspires him: ‘lt’s always uplifting music that has emotional content, be it vocal or instrumental.’ Who else could articulate so succinctly what we all gravitate towards
musically, in a club setting?
Jay, whose influence on dance music culture is impossible to overestimate, makes a rare appearance at one of our finest parties this month. The Funk Room plays host to the man who co-founded the Talkin’ Loud record label with Gilles Peterson, started Kiss FM and who annually commands the Good Times Sound System at the Notting Hill Carnival. Jay’s disposition belies his cultural status, and his outlook is deeply unpretentious: ‘A new generation of dance music lovers are arriving on the scene without those hang-ups about what is cool and what is underground. The crowds have got younger and now at least 20% who attend are foreign, which is all good.’ Get to the Funk party this month to celebrate a way of life. (Johnny Regan)
