ThÉ Dansant: Flemish Popcorn & Pirateship Soul (10")

'Popcorn' was a music scene in Belgium where DJ's mixed up mid-tempo r'n'b and Latin with soulful ballads to keep the crowd dancing 'till teatime with the odd showtune or standard thrown in for good measure. It caught the ear of club fanatic Eddy De Clercq, who took the camp side of popcorn to the underground gay bars in Ghent and Brussels before starting the first house night in Amsterdam at the Roxy club. The hunt for rare records was how popcorn disc jockeys separated themselves from the pack; hardcore diggers looked further than the US and found the same sound close to home: local artists from Flanders often had one song in their catalogue that fitted this mould. Up north, just outside the territorial waters of Holland, pirateship radio stations were on the same page broadcasting local versions of American tunes. The Stoffige Vingers label presents ten Dutch language tracks never compiled on vinyl before on this charming 10": True value for money as the combined value of the originals go close to four figures. Oldies with a twist!
