Northern soul is a music and dance movement that emerged from the British Mod scene, initially in northern England in the late 1960s. Northern soul mainly consisted of a particular style of black American soul music based on the heavy beat and fast tempo of the mid-1960s Tamla Motown sound. The most-prized recordings were from lesser-known artists which had been released only in limited numbers by small regional US labels such as Okeh, cameo Parkway and Roulette. Initially, these were not new releases, and the movement was sustained by prominent DJs discovering rare records and playing them at certain venues. Later on, certain clubs and DJs began to move away from the 1960s Motown sound and started playing new releases with a more contemporary sound. The northern soul movement is associated with particular dance styles and fashions that emanated from the Twisted Wheel club in Manchester and spread to other dancehalls and nightclubs, such as the Golden Torch (in Stoke On Trent), the Highland Rooms at Blackpool Mecca, and Wigan Casino. Northern soul dancing was usually athletic, resembling the later dance styles of disco and break dancing. Featuring spins, flips, and backdrops, the northern soul dancing style was inspired by the stage performances of visiting American soul acts such as Little Anthony & the Imperials and Jackie Wilson.
