"Northern Soul is inherently up-tempo, Black American music that never really made it in America," says Lewis Henderson, one-half of the Deptford Northern Soul Club in the UK.Northern Soul, the up-tempo Black American music made during the 60s and 70s, is experiencing a resurgence. Will Foot and Lewis Henderson from the Deptford Northern Soul Club have brought this underground subgenre to venues across the United Kingdom, attracting a Gen Z audience looking to dance.
"If a song didn't make the cut of Motown or was scrapped, they would often press 500 demo copies to send out to test audiences," says 29-year-old Will Foot, the other half of DNSC.
