Despite the cancellation of key festival events, including Phoenix, SPECIALIST ORGANISATION MAKES FOR the summer has been good for the live industry since well thought- out bookings meant that those events that did go ahead pulled in a lot of revenue. By Nick Tesco GOOD FESTIVALS That a relative newcomer to the festival scene such as V98 managed to gross more than Glastonbury, traditionally the favourite event of the masses, should be a reliable indicator that the festival sector is still in rude health. Admittedly, the cancellation of the Phoenix Festival and a handful of other early summer events due to poor ticket sales sent a tremor through the live industry. But the fact that the season ended up supporting fivehugely successful - and sold out - main events, which together grossed more than £20m in ticket sales, effectively quelled fears that the market had become saturated. DF Concerts managing director Geoff Ellis, who co -promotes V98 with SJM and with MCD, believes the market remains buoyant and regarded the cancellation of the Phoenix Festival as an aberration. "Just because one event falls away, or individual acts fail to pull,it doesn't herald the end of the business," he says. The events of the summer also reinforced the message that for promoters and agents alike, the key to a successful festivalis getting the right acts. "Strong, varied bills are the most important element of a festival," says Steve Strange, booker at Helter Skelter, the agency which booked out acts such as Robbie Williams, Pulp and Faithless, who were among the main stage attractionsat Glastonbury, Reading, V98, T In The Park and Womad. "It can be difficultputtingtherightbillstogether because of the number of festivals," he adds. Five booking agencies dominated the bills at this summer's five biggest festivals.

"It's rugged, waterproof, it's almost like the sort of Tupperware box your mother used to have." She is talking about Total Spectrum's Fetish Case, which is manufactured from rubber - hence the name - and comes in two parts: a lid and a base which fit together to enclose one or two CDs. Two rings of tiny convexed spots run round the case and magnify the contents, and there is a selection of standard colours - red, green, yellow, blue, clear or bright pink. Shipley says the choice of rubber was a practical consideration. "Polystyrene simply isn't practical as it shatters too easily," she says. "We wanted to target the direct mailing industry, so the product has to be durable." Now in its sixth year of producing CD packaging for albums and singles, Total Spectrum is also looking to the bespoke side of the market with the Fetish Case, having previously Experts in cutting edge packaging innovation produced CDs and maxi -singles.

"For instance, we've done an interview with UK hip hop artist Lewis Parker, who's really coming into prominence now, and we also feature lots of videos, which so far haven't been profiled extensively in the UK."

MARC ET CLAUDE `LA' (POSITIVA) (HOUSE) TUNE OF THE WEEK Very large over the last year on various imports and finding favour with Additive a couple of months back, Marc Et Claude's timeless 'La' now gets a full run on Positiva. Moonman's Flashover mix still does the business, with simple Euro set- ups, a temporary pause with the 'La, La...' line announcing the big synth bit. DJ Taucher's mix is also featured, with a different approach to the hooks but still with the same devastating effect, while the only new mix from Jonesy is similar to Moonman's mix. CF

TOTAL `TRIPPIN' (BAD BOY) (R&B) They're back with production assistance from Missy Elliott (also featured on rhyme duties) and Timbaland. As mouthwatering as it looks on paper, it sounds better still on plastic. Sure, it's that old familiar Timbaland/Missy half-step beat programming but as T&M are the originators of that particular vibe, they always come up trumps with grooves that are as fresh as ever. Eerie chord stabs and a deep bassline are essential ingredients for Puffy's lady trio to sprinkle their sweet lyrical coating over this inevitably huge club cut. Prepare for radio and club overkill on this one - pure phatness. RH

FAITHLESS 'TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME' (CHEEKY) (HOUSE) The second release from Faithless' Sunday 8PM' album sees four mixes of this track on promo, kicking off with the Rollin mix -a familiar Faithless blueprint with Maxi Jazz taking the lead once more. The Epic mix has more of a build quality ARROLA 'DREAMING' (INFERNO) (HOUSE) about it, while the 96 Steps mix begins all subdued and then changes its mind This is the last and probably the best of the Ibiza anthems that has been halfway through. The original album mix is also featured. CF causing havoc all summer on a no -info white label. Produced and arranged by the Ruff Driverz, this atmosphere -building Latino house monster gets a RED SNAPPER 'IMAGE OF YOU' (WARP) (BEATS) full release in both its original mixes plus a new version from Lange. Ahead of Red Snapper's 'Making Bones' album is this double -pack of remixes of Favoured by Judge Jules who has played it all summer on his Radio One their current single that is no doubt aimed at spreading the word into all reaches slot, the Percussion mix is still the focal version which sums all the best DJ of clubland. So we have a deep, pounding Salt City Orchestra house mix that moments of the year in about six minutes. CF works excellently plus a relentless dub groove, whilst Shut Up And Dance take the dirty lo-fi beats route and Rae & Christian make it funky. It's a great song with great vocals so it works in whatever style you choose and could be Red Snapper's KELE LE ROC 'A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE' (WILDCARD/POLYDOR) (SOUL) most successful single to date. TJ At last, we have more soul talent this side of the Atlantic. The East Londoner with the gorgeous vocal tones has definitely got to be taken seriously by all UK ANDREA MARTIN 'LET ME RETURN THE FAVOUR' (ARISTA) (R&B) soul/R&B critics after this lovely R&B release. The Soulpower club/radio mix hits Martin's voice is extremely reminiscent of Seventies and early Eighties diva Evelyn the spot for me with the subtle background break, lifted from Gangstarr's phat hip 'Champagne' King. Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins has been given production duties hop jam 'Royalty'. The bassline is extremely potent, and the smooth melody is on this gem with its cool and easy beats and lazy basslines. The only criticism sung sweetly with an airtight chorus and heavenly harmonies. In a nutshell, the would be the unnecessary reggae breakdown midway through; otherwise it's a flavour for KLR's major label debut is all good. This needs to be in the box o' nice song which Martin deals with neatly and sweetly. Cool tune! RH tricks. RH KENNY HAWKES 'SLEAZE WALKING' (PAPER) (HOUSE) CHEEK 'VENUS - SUNSHINE PEOPLE' (FFRR) (HOUSE) A very appropriately titled track, since this deep funky groove just oozes sleaze Taken from the forthcoming Versatile compilation of , 'Sunshine with its phased and filtered guitar loops and its slapping beats. Picking up where People' combines disco and funk at a house pace with sound production all jazz funk left off in the early Eighties, this injects some trippy noises and effects to rotating around the title vocal sample repeat. The main idea here is a short one, create a wonderfully atmospheric piece of hypnotic house that's much more than and the simple sequence recurs in stages and is bolstered by phasing guitar - just a DJ tool. TJ strummed arrangements. Mousse T's version offers a different style, providing a crisper beat and utilising more major keys and chords. CF QUEEN/WYCLEF JEAN FEAT PRAS, FREE AND CANIBUS 'ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST' (DREAMWORKS) (R&B) Unfortunately, this will be a huge chart and radio hit because of its pop blatancy. Wyclef crosses the cheesy line on a regular basis, but this takes the biscuit. Freddie's original vocal is sporadically laid on to the track with Wyclef's crew each JONNY L 20 DEGREES taking their turn to muscle in on a rhyme. The backing track - used on many an old skool hip hop set - is present in a slightly beefed-up form, but this will in no FEATURING SILVAH BULLET way, shape or form stand the test of time bar an occasional play in handbag WITH REMIXES BY DOC SCOTT AND SCRATCH PERVERTS clubs.

BORN: "New York, USA. I never talk of hirthdates - we all come from other places, other planets." LIFE BEFORE DJING: "Being a crazy individualin New York." FIRST DJ GIG: "It was in 1970. In those days you'd take a turntable out of your house and go down to the centre withanother person with their house turntable and you'd play and you'd know when his record was going to finish and you'd follow him and he'd know when yours was going tofinish and follow you and so I- on." MOST MEMORABLE GIG: Best - "There's too many to mention. I play all sorts of styles: hip hop, electro, funk, house, and I've hadgood gigs at all of them. I v like playing a lot of ." Worst- "When the record skips or the table is not too firm and people leap up on the stageand send things rocking - especially in the old days when we had hip hop and together. At one gig a guy said 'I'll show you how to slambang' and therecords went flying off! But we had a really good time there." FAVOURITE CLUBS: "There's a lot of raves in America and they're really funky, lots of people. The best club in the worldfor hip hop was the Roxy in the early Eighties." NEXT THREE GIGS: Afrika starts a US tour in Miami on October 20 and is back in the UK inDecember. DJ TRADEMARK:" I always try to progress!" LIFE OUTSIDE DJING: Artist: Afrika Bambaataa vs Carpe Diem 'Got To Get Up' (Multiply), out now; 'Mind Control' on Dust2Dust: 'ITO' with Westbam; new record with Leftfield. "I have my own label Planet Rock. The latest release is 'Universal Future Funk Vol l'.I like movies - especially looking for subliminal messages - and reading books. Ilike to keep my mind active!
