Jay,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I do apologize to everyone, I haven’t been back to keep the site up as much as I should, but I wouldn’t want this domain to fall into the wrong hands so I will keep it.
I’m hoping that one day Mojo will call and ask for it, to start something new up.

I lived in Detroit and Toledo and not only did hip hop music changed my life, so did the midnight funk association, Grandmaster Flash introduced the art of DJing and hip hop to me and the Electrifying Mojo introduced me to new wave, rock and listening to radio in a different way, i would not only turn the dial but if i had to use the bathroom i didnt move fearing i miss a good song and my guts would be hurting bad, but it was worth it Mojo changed alot of lives and made alot of future DJ’s, i even did his mothership landing on my college show when i was in broadcasting school, i always wanted to meet him in person and tell him thank you for changing my life, i already thanked Grandmaster Flash so my life cant be complete until i thank him, maybe one day i will meet the man who changed detroit and kept the funk alive for all theses years….we still remember and we will never forget.

While listenenig to Looking for the Perfect Beat I recalled my membership to the Midnight Funk Association, I still have my card.

I listened from the summer 1982 on WJLB while trying to find the songs I was dance rollerskating to. (120BPM).

I remember drinking Jim Beam and listening to the
Mothership land, then the extended mixes of Looking for the Perfect Beat, Blinded Me with Science, You Dropped a Bomb on Me, Atomic Dog, and Flashlight. I’d tape these and get my local rink to play them. (Dearborn Rollerdrome, which has since burnt to the ground and been replaced with Town-houses).

Acquiesced the prerequisites of the Midnight Funk Association and am standing up and showing my solidarity, with my porch light on.

I typed in Google, Midnight Funk Association and can’t believe the site is here. I left Michigan in ‘84 and only had a few recordings. Can’t even find one of the landing, but still have a couple of the call to order’s (from 25 years ago on cassettes).

So I subscribed by e-mail to the newsletter and hope to get access to copies of performances from the era I listened because the people I explain it to just don’t get it unless the lived near Detroit.

It’s interesting to read Mojo went on to techno, because of the lack of disco music. I have a D.R.E.A.D. card too, which was a pathway to welcome funk over disco, rap too. I remember the battle to play Rapper’s Delight at the rink because it was so long. The DJ would always chop it part way through.

Tie your knot and don’t let go, just hold on tight and say, “Whoa Wammy Whoa”.

Wow!
In 1979 I was a 16 year old white kid from London, Ontario Canada that new what music I liked but sure as hell didn’t hear much of ‘it’ in Canada. I worked weekends for a year at a local hospital and saved enough (at $5/hour) to purchase my first stereo receiver for the astronomical price of $245!!

I had to take one speaker from the family room ’stereo’ and wire it to my brand new Pioneer
SX-580 with a whopping 20 watts of power! I had to thumb tack my aerial antenna wire to the bedroom ceiling (while rotating my outstretched arms like a slowly spinning crucifix to find the best reception, then stick the ends in) then at midnight while ’spinning the dial’…. I found HIM! and the Midnight Funk Association; launching the mother-ship on the airwaves.

And thus began my Mentor-ship with P-Funk and the wondrous and Electrifying MOJO!!!
It was truly magical those many, many nights being swept away in a plethora of funkiness as I was introduced to so many great jams and phenomenal artists. I would even keep and pencil and paper bedside to write down the names of songs and artists the grooved me. I still have ALL the 45’s and 12″ singles and albums I bought simply by hearing them though the funktified ‘myst’ of MOJO…

AND now I find this site!!!! Truly awesome and so glad to see there were so many others caught up in the magnificent show and great music that oozed from the ‘mutha’-ship!

I’m smiling ear to ear and even teary eyed with the meaningful nostalgic memories the sound bites give me.

long live the funk; thank YOU ‘MOJO’ !!

Hey, I’m a teacher in Pittsburgh, PA. My students are reading poetry written by Electrifying Mojo. Do you know how to contact him? Please advise. I once had this information, but over the years it has been put in a ’safe’ place. Thanks,

The only thing that I have been able to find is a few show openings that are posted on You Tube and Google Video, other than that I have been unsuccessful at finding any.
