What’s with the sudden press love? 7 Days have a quote from me on the seminal Motown label turning 50. Ohm Records / Electric Motel’s Satyen Choksi and Neil DJ Solo are far more eloquent.

BBC 1Xtra are celebrating with a Golden Motown Weekend.

Thank you Detroit: J Dilla, Carl Craig, Electrfying Mojo, Derrick May, Donald Byrd, Ted Nugent, Aaliyah, MC5, Iggy, White Stripes, Recloose, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Amp Fiddler, Waajeed.
