Chantal Curtis - Get another love

Less and more random posting nowadays, but I try to keep up the quality. Here's proper disco, right up my strasse from Chantal Curtis in 'Get another love'. Sweet strings and a perfect swing all the way through and with nice drop added to that. 
Hope you dig!

Chantal Curtis - Get another love

Nick Straker Band - Something in the music

A big favorite from Nick Straker in 'Something in the music' which just hits the right buttons for me. Soulful, slightly on the jazzy side with some nice, trippy keyboard action and finally a great drop for the dancers. So here you go; some vintage dance music to go on your disco.
Hope you dig!

Ruby Norman - Back to the streets

Hey, back again!
To compensate for the absence I'll give you a special treat from Ruby Norman in 'Back to the streets'. Give it a listen, and again and come back soon!
Hope you dig!

The disco keeps me young

Struggling with finding the time to keep this on going. And still do. Got some time last night though, and put this together. 
Hope you dig!

Forrrce - Keep on dubbin'

You can't go wrong with a bit of West End classics; here from Forrrce in Keep on dubbin' off the Keep on dancin' 12". Whether I wanna go for the more straight up boogie in the original or Monsieur Kevorkians dub, is a close draw. Today is Sunday, therefore we keep a bit more loose.
Hope you dig!

Gino Soccio - You move me

There's always room for a bit of boogie. Here from Gino Soccio in 'You move me' and a promo only 12". Apparently Gino is a bit of a multi-instrumentalist, playing loads of stuff and arranging and here's it's quality all through.
Hope you dig!

Gino Soccio - You move me

Tony Orlando - Don't let go

A fine blue eyed disco tune from Tony Orlando in 'Don't let go'. The drop, somewhat reminds me of Bill Wither's 'You got the stuff'. Obviously not quite as big, but still all good.
Hope you dig!

Tony Orlando - Don't let go

Severed Heads - We Have Come To Bless This House (remix 2)

Another banger famously broken by RW in his Sarcastic disco sets. Original synth music from 85 and Severed Heads in We Have Come To Bless This House and remix #2. This is from the Canadian Nettwerk release, and it's all a bit confusing as the track doesn't appear on all of them.
Almost 30 years, and still rips it.
Hope you dig!

Severed Heads - We Have Come To Bless This House 

Average White Band - Get it up for love

There are a few versions of this song out there. I've probably not heard them all. Tata Vega's obviously and Ned Doheny's comes to mind. Here you got the Average White Band with Ben E King, off the 'Benny and us' LP.
So if funky rock is your bag, this should be right up your strasse.
Hope you dig!

Average White Band - Get it up for love

East 17 Division - Textures

Rough and deep stuff from the early 90's from East 17 Division in 'Textures'. Don't know if it breaked at the time or if it started to pick up in popularity as people like Dam Funk started to play it again?
Hope you dig!

East 17 Division - Textures

Cleavage - Barah

Call me an old f*rt, but this is just great. Proper old school Chicago house sound, obviously heavily borne on Cymade's classic bassline. This is from Cleavage in 'Barah' and the house mix, nothing clever, just pure electronic music that has stand the test of time.
Hope you dig!

Cleavage - Barah

Joker - African

Some italo-ish pop music with a slight leftfield twist from Joker in 'African' off their same titled LP.
Hope you dig!

Joker - African

Brooklyn Dreams - Street Man

Here's 8 minutes of classic disco from Brooklyn Dreams in 'Street Man'. This rip is off a single sided 12", and I believe the original version (there's a shorter one as well). 
Anyways, bit of great bread and butter material for any discerning disco dj; with enough swing, sweet strings and a classic break and build up. 
Hope you dig!

Brooklyn Dreams - Street Man

Steely Dan & Charles Mann - Do it again

Two rather different versions of the same song from Steely Dan and Charles Mann in 'Do it again'. Originally written by Steely & Dan in 72' shortly followed by the Charles Mann version from 73'. If you want the full version of Steely Dan's you'll find it in the 'Four tracks from Steely Dan' 12"/EP and the Charles Mann's on his 'Say you love me too' LP.
Hope you dig!

Steely Dan - Do it again

Charles Mann - Do it again

Voyage - I love you dancer

Voila! A nice blend of pop music and disco, here with some added jazzy guitars. From the french band Voyage in "I love you dancer", ripped from the flip on the 12" on the Scirocco label. 
Hope you dig!

Voyage - I love you dancer

Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

So much music and so little time. Will try to make up for the recent absence; so here's a quickie. Coming very much from my newly found passion for some 80's stuff, here's Joe Jackson's - Steppin'. Which I think is nicely crossing between the cheese and leftfield. Actually, when I did a quick search on it, I found a Phil Asher edit on it too. 
For those of you who might need some other, prominent references for credibility, that is. 
Anyways; I hope you dig!

Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

Erotic Drum Band - Jerky Rhythm

Here's a piece of a vintage dj tool from Erotic Drum band in "Jerky rhythm". A heavy drum track for the more adventurous disk jockyes. I'm saying that from my own experience; even though its tribal, dance(y) nature you really need the right context to make it work. I'm sure it got released on the Champagne label too (and i'm sure I have that one), but this rip is of the red and crispy Prism release.
Hope you dig!

Sue Ann - My baby, my

Here's a bit euro sleeze in Sue Ann's 'My baby, my from her self titled LP. That's the place to get this sweet, electronic disco number produced by Pete Belotte; the former Moroder collaborator.
Hope you dig!

Sue Ann - My baby, my

Bob Chance - It's broken!

Speaking of Bob Chance; here he is! This is such a cool track which always draws attention whenever I get the chance to play it. Obviously it's the music heads that gets it, as this is not your 3 minute quick fix. And this needs to be played in its entirety. It all makes sense; the straigh pounding beats with the marching bass, add to that the synth that comes in around 7 minutes and sets the dynamics out of place. 
Anyways, this is the title track from his 1980 LP on Morrhythm which also give you the mad, leftfield jungle track in 'Jungle talk'. I think it might have been a private pressed thing as Bob were still selling these himself (and maybe still is) quite recently. Nowadays quite easily found as there's a repress on Trunk, and a re-edit thing by, I think, Eric Duncan.
Hope you dig!

Bob Chance - It's broken!

William Onyeabor - Good name

This is not what i'm normally about, but this is just too good. From William Onyeabor, which I've possibly have came across on some old Strut compilation or similiar, but nothing familiar really. Though, by bit of coincidence, I was lucky enough to score a copy of the Good Name LP on Luaka Bop.  
So appearing like a Nigerian Bob Chance this is some really heavy vintage afro-techno.
Hope you dig!

Johnnie and Michael Hill - Too hot to stop

Sometimes you might oversee the major, classic labels in the search for obscurity and rareness. But when getting deeper in the catalogues there's usually stuff that's not played out. And it doesn't get more classic than Salsoul; here's Johnnie and Michael Hill from 1980 in 'Too hot to stop'.  
Oh, did I mention disco?!
Hope you dig! 

Johnnie and Michael Hill - Too hot to stop

Kinsman Dazz - Saturday night

This is a biggie from Kinsman Dazz in 'Saturday night'. Nice and sleazy with a healthy dose of funk. The self titled LP is a cheapie too.  No reasons to ignore.
Hope you dig!

Kinsman Dazz - Saturday night

Magnus Uggla - Sommartid

It's about time for some Swedish exotica or balearica for that matter. Obviously all Swedes are well aware of herr Uggla as he's a well known figure and musical Joe Pesci character. But as most singers he's had his rebelious times, early in his career. And these are from that time.
I usually dig these out for the summer season as the title - 'Summertime' requests for that. . 
So here you go, to close the summer season; Magnus Uggla - "Sommartid" in the 12" remixed version and the later remix from 81' off the 'Godkänd pirat live' LP.
Hope you dig!

Magnus Uggla - Sommartid (remixed)

Richard Pinhas - L' Éthique

Here's a bit of an oddity that I came across not too long ago. And as impulsive as it can get, I was on the case. Apparently monsieur Pinhas is a kind of avant gard-ish producer from the late 70's and onwards. Somehow this track, and the flipside, appealed to me; sitting somewhere between early techno-ish electronics, italo and the contemporary bits that i'm into at the moment. 
Sure usable as a secret dj weapon for the more pretentious crowd.
So, from a french promo only release is Richard Pinhas - "L' Éthique".
Hope you dig!

Richard Pinhas - L' Éthique

Sarr Band - Magic Mandrake

Here's a bit of obscure, and dare I say cosmic(?), disco. From Sarr Band in "Magic Mandrake", who delivers all the sweet strings, funky horns and pumping bass you could ask for in complete disco banger. When looking for the 12" you should avoid the dodgy bootleg (as always!) that came out last year or so.
Hope you dig!
