Johnny Otis - Willie Did The Cha Cha (G the P tweak)
It’s about time I posted up another little edit (tweak) of mine. This little ditty is on the flipside of my Willie and The Hand Jive (by Johnny Otis) 7″ and it got played a lot down at Get Involved. All I’ve done is extend the percussive intro - to make it even more fun to drop into a set: get your maracas and cowbell at the ready!
Si Cheeba has prepared the 2nd Shing-A-Ling podcast for your delectation - and it’s a beauty. Mr Cheeba takes you back to a 60’s soul food café where the spicy New York Latin Soul Boogaloo ribs and down-home grits’n'gravy Rhythm & Blues chops are served with a side-order of Jamaican Ska and hot dancefloor jazz sauce on the side - all washed down with the tropical flavour of Brazilian groove juice. Welcome to the party! It’s a hip-shaking, lip-smacking Shing-A-Ling feast - which you can stream to your desktop, download, or you can subscribe to our podcasts in iTunes or just your regular RSS reader.

This Friday night we’ll be officially launching our new Shing-A-Ling night at the Smithfield Tavern in London. I say “we” because Shing-A-Ling is the collaborative efforts of a group of vinyl-hoarding DJs of which I’m just one: Dean Chalkley (Shake!), Miss Red (Shuffle Off To Buffalo), Si Cheeba (Hip Drop / Shake!), DJ Paolo and G the P (that’s me) - are the main protagonists – and we will, no doubt, invite friends to DJ / party with us along the way as Shing-A-Ling is now happening EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT.
We’ll be spinning a jumped up blend of Rhythm’n'Blues, Ska, Soul and Rock’n'Roll (and whatever else we fancy) with the aim of keeping hips-a-twisting and faces smiling. Join us for the launch party this friday - free entry!
Look us up on facebook and on myspace for regular updates and irregular downloads.
Big thanks to Alex Spiro (No Brow) for the awesome launch party poster artwork
