Brainstorm was the band Belita Woods sang in before she joined George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic; in 1992 the band was called P-Funk All Stars. Brainstorm made 3 albums, "Stormin'" is the first. When siniging with Brainstorm, Belita has a significantly different voice from her period with P-Funk. I love both voices although her voice sounds brighter when she was young. I saw her a couple of times live and her phrasing and timing were just unique. Unfortunately she died way too early in 2012, by the age of only 63. I can hear her influence on fellow p-funk singer Kendra Foster, who was singing with her during the late 90's and early 00's. She's definitely one of the most underrated female singers in history and should be mentioned alongside other funk/soul diva's of her age..

This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.
