THE EXPERIENCE [August 2015]

Artist Profile & Event/Article of The Month

Artist Profile

August 29th 1958 saw the birth of one of the well celebrated iconic figures in entertainment. So in this 10th episode (August edition) we pay tribute to none other than “The King of Pop” Michael Joseph Jackson. A phenomenal singer, songwriter, producer, and dancer who was a household entertainer globally.
Born in Gary, Indiana U.S, he was the eighth child of Katherine Esther Scruse (Mother) and Joseph Walter “Joe” Joseph. He had 3 sisters (Rebbie, La Toya & Janet) and 5 brothers (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon & Randy). It was in the early 60’s that Michael together with his elder brothers (Jermaine, Tito, Marlon & Jackie) debuted as “The Jackson 5” in the professional music scene, later going solo in 1971.
After releasing a number of solo albums ( 4 to be precise) while still with the family band, Michael starred on a musical “The Wiz’ (where he co-starred with Diana Ross), he met legendary producer and then the film’s musical score arranger and went to work on Jackson’s 1979 “Off the wall” album (his 1st solo album that hit the Billboard charts with smashing songs like “Don’t stop til you get enough and Rock with You”, songs which are still being banged all over to date.
From that onward moment he went on to release chat topping albums, the 1982 “Thriller” (recognised as one of the best albums of all time). Then it was followed by “Bad” 1987, “Dangerous” 1991, “History: Past, Present and Future, Book 1” 1995, “Invincible” 2001. He was known for his energetic stage performances, making the “moon walk” the most danced routine within the pop youth culture. His music videos and its choreographed dance moves changed the way music videos were made and the popularity of then formed MTV.


He passed away on June 25 2009 in his bed in his rented mansion 100 North Carolwood Drive, were attempts of resuscitation efforts continued en route to the hospital, after an hour arriving there he was pronounced dead.
So long “The King Of Pop”, thanks for the many memorable experiences.  


Article of The Month


HISTORY OF CHICAGO HOUSE: PART 1

With house music currently becoming a well-known global genre in the music industry, we decided to look at its origins and the places together with its people that laid the foundation for chaps such as us Modern Soul Experience, to get to enjoy this music we call “House” which gets peeps crazy on the dance floors.
It was back in an old Chicago nightclub “The Warehouse” that most musical fundis say the name was adopted for the genre. This was a place old disco classics, new Eurobeat pop, synthesized beats where mixed as danced-floor fillers by then resident Dj Frankie Knuckles (who we featured in our 1st Episode). The sounds of dance music like classics by Harold Melvin, Billy Paul and the O’Jays were mixed with upfront disco hits like Martin Circus “Disco Circus” and imported European pop music by synthesizers groups like Kraftwerk and Telex, which marked of pioneering dance music scene.
According to the legend himself Knukles, house is a re-invention of dance music of yesterday (which predominantly compromised of disco music). It was young artists at the Warehouse such as Professor Funk, who would stay throughout the night at the club and sing along and free styled to some of Frankie’s records.  That set the creativity on the emergence of house music.....
