    Paul Scott interview podcast hosted by Lenny Fontana # 139 - True House Stories®

    TRUE HOUSE STORIES® W/ PAUL SCOTT # 139 INTERVIEWED BY LENNY FONTANA Paul Scott and Bryan "Shank" Thompson met in 1987 through a mutual close friend, DJ Punch Phillips. Paul invited P&S to Sensations Studios to mix HMJ’s “Hyped”, a Hip House track. The P&S mix stood out from the other mix collaborations and caused a frenzy on the House scene. From then on, Paul and Shank became known as Brothers of Peace aka B.O.P. and began to work on different projects together. The track “Come on Move with the Beat” was BOP’s breakout banger for Big Beat Records that put them on the map. BOP’s success continued with the Ace Beat Records release of “Call Him Up”, a churchified track with an all-star cast of New Jersey’s finest House music singers, including Kenny Bobien, Sandy B, Joey Washington and Cassio. “You are my Friend” by Kenny Bobien and “Feel like Singing” by Sandy B shot BOP into the ionosphere as acclaimed House music producers. Expanding their impressive portfolio, BOP then went on to produce House hits for Jellybean Records, Bass Hit/Soundmen on Wax, Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Mercury, Warner Brothers, Columbia. Thirty plus years later they are still doing it the way they believed from the beginning with the big chorus hook and musical arrangements.

    Gordon Mac interview podcast hosted by Lenny Fontana # 135 - True House Stories®

    TRUE HOUSE STORIES® W/ GORDON MAC # 135 INTERVIEWED BY LENNY FONTANAKiss FM first broadcast 7 October 1985 as a pirate radio station, initially to South London then across the whole city, on 94FM. Kiss FM was founded by Gordon "Mac" McNamee, George Power (of London Greek Radio), and Tosca Jackson, with its engineer Pyers Easton. Transmitting seven-days from the start, it would be regularly taken off-air by the authorities and so became a weekend operation shortly afterwards. The station developed a cult and committed following across Greater London, with figures in the press at the time stating that the station commanded some 500,000 listeners while operating as an unlicensed pirate station, and an Evening Standard readers' poll in 1987 put Kiss second, behind Capital Radio. Gordon Mac approached a successful London club promoter, Guy Wingate, to discuss ways of improving the Kiss FM profile. As a result, Wingate launched the very successful Kiss nights at the Wag Club (which included the first ever UK Acid House party – an idea put forward by Colin Faver and Danny Rampling), both DJs on the station. Mac and ten of the DJs on the station including Norman Jay, Jonathan Moore, Colin Faver, Trevor Nelson, and Tim Westwood would become "shareholders" in a company called Goodfoot Promotions, with Mac heading up the station as its majority holder. By 1988, Kiss was at its strongest with a DJ line-up which had become the cream of London's clubland, and in that December, Mac and the other shareholders would announce that they would decide to close down in order to apply for a legal license. Listen to how Gordon Mac goes up the ladder and then leaves it all behind to come back eventually and create his next venture called Mi-Soul on Dab.
