Loose Ends, London, UK
Perhaps the slickest funk/soul group of the mid-'80s and one of the UK's finest musical exports, Loose Ends and Carl McIntosh weren't just the bomb in '85 - they've gone on to influence countless of today’s dance producers and DJs around the world. As well as penning the timeless Hangin' On A String, Carl has crafted keyboard and guitar chops for soul supremos like D'Angelo, Beverly Knight, Caron Wheeler and Leon Ware as well as DJ Pete Rock. A master of songwriting and laying down the groove, Carl reps for the old school style of melody and harmony, and although he is a fond advocate of the sample and hold approach to tune-making, in Carl's opinion the modern day over-dependence on samples is like giving running spikes to a lame man.
