BOBBY VITERITTI

Bobby Viteritti was born and raised in New York, but headed west at the age of 20, where his mixing skills saw him he work his way up from small DJ gigs to a full time residency at San Francisco's legendary Trocadero Transfer. Thankfully, The trocadero had some great recording equipment, and Bobby recorded many of his sets. Here's a few he very kindly agreed to share with us. (More are for sale on his site - check the links page for details)

PETE HAIGH

Pete's been collecting records and DJing since the early 1970s, frequenting legendary venues like Manchester's Ritz and Blackpool Mecca, where he also played. This set ties in perfectly with the Northern Disco page here.
Pete's written for The Face and Blues & Soul, contributed to books, worked in the studio with all sorts of legendary acts and compiled albums of rare soul and disco music. He continues DJing to this day, in clubs, on the radio and at Southport Weekender. It's a real pleasure to host his mix

THE TORCH 1972

This is rather special. Most recordings of northern soul events were taped on hand held recorders with built in mics that were pointed at the speakers. The sound quality was awful (listen to some of the live northern stuff below for evidence). This one's different.. it's been recorded through the desk, so the handclaps and stuff are missing, but sound quality's as good as you'll ever get from a 1972 live recording. Obviously this ain't disco!

ROBERT OUIMET

Robert Ouimet played at Montreal's Limelight pretty much through the 1970s, and is still spinning to this day. I've been after these tapes for many years now. Thanks to Stevie Sole via Phil Asher for finally getting these to me.

ZAFAR CHOWDHRY

AKA Pussclod, AKA Zaf.. you know him from ebay. He's the guy who always outbids you. So as you can imagine he has some tasty records. And he's recorded some of them for us. We love this mix...
