Various Artists - Northern Soul First One Step : The Very Roots Of Club Culture, Let The Music Take Over And Start Dancing (2025)

Issue No. 35 of "All Days Ondokoro" has been released in a new book-style format, focusing on the Northern Soul phenomenon. This musical movement originated in 1960s Britain, driven by DJs searching for rare, obscure American soul compositions that failed to achieve commercial success in the United States. The culture was defined by exclusivity; DJs concealed track identities to prevent competitors from identifying them, transforming these commercial failures into cult dance anthems. This compilation features high-energy tracks by artists such as Shirley Ellis and Yvonne Baker, characterized by their fast tempo and the distinct atmosphere of that era.
