GENE CHANDLER "When you're #1"

From Chicago and released in 1979. This is a must have and a very powerful Disco tune.

SPECIAL FORCE "Metropolitan transit authority"

One of my favorite rap record. There are two 12" with the same jacket and the same label but the versions are slightly differents, released in 1986.
I've heard it for the first time on the radio, it was on Radio 7 in the RLP's show where DJ Dee Nasty played regulary. I've recorded it and no name during more than 15 years, one day I met Dee Nasty and I asked to him what it is, he can't remember but he told me, "I know what it is, let me some time". Few months later, Dee Nasty was invited at the radio show where I mixed (with DJ Asko) and he brings me a CD where he recorded the track. Wonderful, 18 years later, this track was mine ! I've started to looking for but impossible to find. I talk to myself, that the kind of expensive record on e-bay and chip at N.Y. Later I'm gone to N.Y., I was in Brooklyn and the first shop, the first search, I find it for $3,99, a dream... Now I've 2 copies that how I know for the differents mixes.



enjoy it

WILLIAM STUCKEY "Disco fly"

Excellent flyin high synth tune with very good classic old school Hip Hop drums break.

JAZZY 5 & The Kryptic Krew "Jazzy sensation"

Ripped from an original copy !
Very hard to find and first record for Bambaataa as an artist. it's an Arthur Baker production one year before their anthem "Planet rock". They use the "Funky sensation" of Gwen Mc Crae for the music that you can find here too.




Bronx version
Manhattan version
instrumental

RAVEN MAIZE "Forever together"

Produced by Dave Lee aka Joey Negro and remixed by Faze Action. It's a cover of the famous disco track by Exodus that you can find in the Disco 12" section.

GOGO LORENZO & The Davis Pinckney Project "You can dance (if you want to)"

I love this track since the first time I've heard, 19 years ago, it was on Radio 7.
I've still the tape ! The vocal gimmick comes from Men Without Hats "safety dance" an eighties New Wave club classic.

FUNK FUSION BAND "Can you feel it"

We take the same and we did it again. This version is a re-working of Asphalt Jungle "Freakin' time". It's more Jazz-Funk with a slightly taste of Donald Byrd.

ASPHALT JUNGLE "Freakin' time "part 1 & 2

Still in the TEC world, this is the contribution of DJ MIG1.

MANDRILL "Dance of love"

The Wilson's brothers did it again !

VICKI SUE ROBINSON "Turn the beat around"

This tune has supported the time and when you listen it now, it's still fresh.




This is the cover from Gloria Estefan.

JAMES LAST "James Last in Los Angeles"

Funky-Jazz, soulful, and almost a bit laidback at times. Filled with great keyboard lines from Larry Muhoberac with flyin' synth "I Can't Move No Mountains", who also helped arranged the album with Last and Wes Farrell. Ernie Watts on sax, Tom Scott on flute and Bobby Bryant on trumpet.

KOOL MOE DEE "Wild wild west"

Classic 87 rap tune from Kool Moe Dee. This is the extended 12" version.

PURE ENERGY "You've got the power"

Each day is different, I hope that people which will discover this, will feel what I felt the first time that I heard it. One of my favorite 80's funk.

ONENESS OF JUJU "(Family tree) Make a chance"

Saxophonist, J. Plunky Branch's band sign here a strange but great Afro fusion Reggae tune.
