Audio Sushi track of the day 2 Smiley Culture - Cockney Translation

RIP David.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley_Culture

Emmanuel, born and raised in South London, was the son of a Jamaican father and South American mother. He was educated at Tulse Hill School.^[2] Prior to his recording career he worked as a DJ with the Saxon Studio International reggae soundsystem, where he met and worked with a number of other reggae artists, including Maxi Priest, Papa Levi and Tippa Irie. Signed to the London based reggae record label, Fashion Records, his first single "Cockney Translation" (1984) was a Jamaican's guide to the East End dialect - "Cockneys have names like Terry, Arfur and Del Boy/We have names like Winston, Lloyd and Leroy." It picked up considerable airplay on BBC Radio One but only reached the lower end of the UK Singles Chart. Simon Reynolds has often cited this song in his writings, arguing that it presaged the creation of a new hybrid accent in which white East Londoners would adopt many terms of black origin. The British singer/rapper Plan B is a current example of this accent in popular music.

Emmanuel had more success with his next single, "Police Officer", released towards the end of 1984. This was the supposedly autobiographical tale of how Emmanuel was arrested for the possession of cannabis, but then let off when the police officer recognised him as a famous reggae artist.^[3][4] In spite of the subject matter - and possibly because mid 1980s radio station bosses in the UK did not understand the terms 'ganja' and 'sensimilla' - the single was a Top 20 hit and earned Emmanuel two appearances on BBC Television's flagship music programme, Top of the Pops. The record, although humorous, did have a serious aspect, in that it highlighted the way black people often feel they are unfairly treated by the police.^[5]

After this he signed to major label Polydor, but his work for them - including the album Tongue in Cheek, and the accompanying single "Schooltime Chronicle" - did not replicate the chart success of "Police Officer".

In 1986 Emmanuel enjoyed a brief flirtation with the cinema when he made a cameo appearance in the film, Absolute Beginners.

On 28 September 2010 he was charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine at Croydon magistrates court in London.^[6]

On 15th March 2011 David Emmanuel died during a police raid on his house.^[7]

"Cockney Translation" was one of the choices of novelist and poet Michael Rosen when he appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.

Fenech Soler postpone UK tour as lead singer goes in for chemotherapy

FENECH-SOLER POSTPONES UK TOUR 

AS LEAD SINGER IS DIAGNOSED WITH EARLY STAGE CANCER 

BAND TO DONATE NEW SINGLE PROFITS TO TEENAGE CANCER TRUST

Fenech Soler are postponing their upcoming UK tour until Autumn. Lead singer Ben Duffy has been diagnosed with early stage testicular cancer and is embarking on a short course of chemotherapy. The band have been advised to reschedule their forthcoming UK dates.

"We are really sorry to postpone these shows. The diagnosis has been a big shock for all of us but on the positive side it has been caught very early and the recovery rate for this type of cancer is extremely high. I will be continuing to write and work with the band during my treatment and the others will continue to fulfill all DJ engagements. Everyone is very upbeat that I will be fighting fit again in a couple of months. We just want to ask our fans to bear with us while I have treatment and recover. I can't wait to get back on stage and continue with what has been an amazing last year for us" said Ben.

Proceeds from the band's new single ‘Stop and Stare’, out 18th April, will go to Teenage Cancer Trust. 

"We want to do something positive with this situation and we can do that by giving money to Teenage Cancer Trust and helping to create awareness about the amazing work they do." said band guitarist, Ross.

Simon Davies, Teenage Cancer Trust CEO adds: “Everyone at Teenage Cancer Trust wishes Ben all the best over the coming months. We are extremely grateful for the band’s support at this difficult time and look forward to seeing them on the festival circuit later this year.”

In recent months the band’s upward trajectory has continued exponentially with their London Koko and Manchester Academy shows selling out, singles 'Lies' and 'Demons' being playlisted by Radio 1, nominations for best new band at the Q Awards and for XFM’s best debut album of 2010 and tastemakers such as Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Greg James and Groove Armada all declaring themselves as big fans. 

The band are set to storm this summer’s festival stages with confirmed slots at Lovebox, Parklife, Camp Bestival, Evolution and Oxegen with more big festival announcements to follow shortly. The UK tour will be rescheduled in the Autumn with more details to be announced next week.

Audio sushi tracks of the day My Top 13 Most Influential Dance Tracks Ever by @diastronaut

My Top 13 Most Influential Dance Tracks Ever:
1: Buchanan & Goodman - "The Flying Saucer (Parts 1 & 2)"
2: Manuel Göttsching - "E2-E4"
3: Laurie Anderson "O Superman"
4: Augustus Pablo "King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown"

9: Gloria Gaynor "Never Can Say Goodbye LP [and continuous mix by
Tom Moulton]"
10: Jean Michel Jarre "Moon Machine"

Buchanan & Goodman - "The Flying Saucer (Parts 1 & 2)"

: Why did you select your number 1 choice?
My Brother [greg radiojack, china] and I played this so much as little
children - it was what's called
a "drop out" record - and early cut up. and we played it so much -
that the vinyl wore through... we were obsessed by the sounds, the
cuts and the hundreds of edits. and its hilarious...

: which track turned you personally onto clubbing/ dance music the most?
i guess it was Martin Hannett's productions mainly on Joy Division
and New Order though
i always did the djing second, to my bands and live acts. Blue Monday
made me realise
- even in 1983 - that i could do this for the rest of my life...

: which tracks had the greatest influence without crossing over to the
mainstream?
Manuel Göttsching - E2-E4 - probably? almost unknown.

: can you let me know what site you'd like me link to alongside your
name (soundcloud, Twitter, Facebook etc)----=---------
www.twitter.com/disastronaut is fine.
