Billie Ray Martin sync listen + lucious BRM chat!

[GinAg (39)]

Due to a gap in the schedule, I'm dropping a sync listen this Wednesday evening.

Most people know her for Your Loving Arms or maybe Honey as well, but she has quite a selection of LOVELY GEMS.

It will essentially be her astonishing 1995 album Deadline For My Memories + a few bonus bangers. She's not just hot Euro House, she also has a nice side in dramatic beautiful white soul. Also bangers.

She's also a GERMAN MISERY, so there's that.

oh I'm going to try and join this. One of those artists I've wanted to educate myself more on. Plenty of the groovy soulful stuff please, she has an amazing voice

 

[COB]

I don't know much of her output, but I'll certainly give this a go.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This playlist doesn't exist yet. Just seen she's dropped a TON of new content on Spotify, so I'll be doing some emergency BRM research for YOUR PLEASURE.

I'm gonna mix it up. The bangers are obvious crowd pleasers, but as I say I'm gonna do a deeper dive.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'm also aware this will have an audience of two or three, but any new audience for our German Disco Queen will help her pay those expensive Zone 5 council tax bills.

 

[ButterTart]

Here for an evening of Teutonic sadbangers.

 

[Penelope]

Oh go on, would be good to learn about someone new.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The playlist is proving tricky to curate. She's quite eclectic.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The playlist (Spotify only) is DONE. It's about an hour and 20 minutes, but all the essential stuff is at the start and the dive gets deeper towards the end. I've had to cull loads, but it's more of a taster of Dame BRM, there's plenty to explore.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I shall do my best. I own Deadline For My Memories but know very little of over oeuvre outside of it.

 

[GinAg (39)]

She has some duff moments, but she's experimental and when it works, it's an absolute pleasure. I'm surprised she's not written for others, but her voice is just SO RICH and WARM, I can understand why she'd want to keep them for herself. Gutted she's considered a one-hit wonder.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This is tonight at 8pm! Hope to see ANYONE here!

[jyxz]

I’ll try my hardest. In the middle of moving house.

 

[RJN]

My meeting was cancelled, so I’ll be here for this, but a little late

Wonderful.

 

[GinAg (39)]

One hour!

 

[COB]

Are we on YouTube, Spotify or both tonight?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Just Spotify. Couldn't be arsed to do YouTube as it was last minute.

 

[COB]

That's good for me - I was going to request Spotify, as I'm in a headphones mood

 

[GinAg (39)]

Just under half an hour. Here's the playlist! Click play at 8!

[jyxz]

Oh - I thought it would be the ALBAM and then a few choice cuts afterwards

 

[GinAg (39)]

I mixed it up a bit.

 

[GinAg (39)]

More of a BRM sampler with Deadline being heavily featured as her MASTERSTROKE. Would certainly recommend anyone who likes what you hear tonight, give the full album a go.

I’ll be doing other things in the house but will have the playlist on in the background and may comment occasionally.

those song titles

 

[Jark]

Sweet Suburban Disco sounds tailor made for our new and improved, clean living @Lucille

 

[GinAg (39)]

She's quite hard to pin down. German kitchen sink disco melancholy.

 

[Lucille]

Fuck that hun the bitch is back in Hackney.

 

[GinAg (39)]

If you follow her on social media, she's RARELY HAPPY and OFTEN POOR, which makes me love her more.

 

[Penelope]

I'm HERE and DRINKING

 

[GinAg (39)]

Hi Billie.

 

[jyxz]

I have prepared a fresh passion fruit vodka. poised and ready.

 

[Jark]

IG bio: "A singer from the red light district of Hamburg who wanted to be a soul singer."

 

[Jark]

apparently she has some unreleased Frankie Knuckles remixes coming in July. I've never even heard ONE OF HER SONGS but I'm excited.
