The name Backstreet originally comes from the name of the
Edwin Starr classic. The song really reminds me of my time on the northern soul scene, and it is one of the
inspirations that got the scene started in Denmark back in
1991.
I have always liked the more up-tempo soul sounds; fantastic
dance rhythms and great memories. It has always been my
dream to see a Northern Soul scene functioning in Denmark
and it's great to see how the club and the scene has
developed over the years. Thanks to all who turn up. Keep on
coming.

I started listening to Northern Soul about 37 years ago,
dancing away at youth clubs in North Yorkshire, and I got
hooked… Once the music gets into your system it stays their,
even 20 years 'out of the scene' didn't help cure me
(thankfully).
The great music and the fantastic atmosphere that always
accompanies a Northern Soul event has to be experienced…
It's just pure joy. As can be seen from my top five play
list, I'm a big fan of the classic 60's soul sound. The fantastic
musical arrangements, the musicianship and the syncopated rhythms adopted by
the producers of 60's soul has, in my opinion, never been equalled. Fantastic dance music that has, and
always will be able to stand the test of time!

Kasper plays under the name of DJ Skurk around in the City.
He has been arranging club events the last 11 years including
a broad spectrum of music stiles but it's Northern Soul that
has his heart.
Got his first Northern Soul record
6 years ago and was stuck
every since. His mission is to get the Danish audition to
discover the beauty of the originally soul music. He has
played in all the bigger Copenhagen clubs including Vega,
Rust, Stengade. Besides that he has done guest spots in
Malmo and Vienna.

The first time I heard Northern Soul was about
10 years ago at a
Backstreet venue Operaen Christiania. I had never heard any
of the songs before but the sounds and the atmosphere was
just great. I have been working as a DJ for about 9 years. I
started out as playing Funk and began collecting Northern
Soul about 7 years ago and started playing at Backstreet on
the 23rd of April 2005 (a memorable day). Since then it's
just been one long love affair.
A few years ago, together
with Søren, I started the second Northern Soul Club in
Denmark; Ghetto Soul. We have since played in Aalborg and
have a regular spots on the Copenhagen night club scene.
I
hope you will all find as much joy and love in Northern and
rare soul as I have!
Remember it´s about that Heart of Soul.
