Space Cadets - Spaced Outta Place



I've got the slightly different uptempo Sundown version of this one in a trade a while back. They are actually both spectacular early Detroit productions from none other than Amp Fiddler.

"Now, I may be An old-fashioned country girl" - Loleatta Holloway "Hit and Run" Walter Gibbons Remix



Between Loleatta tearing it up on the mic, and Walter tearing it up on the mix, this is an absolute slice of Disco dance floor perfection. There is just so much passion put into this piece of wax, it's really special. When the break comes, and that bass line pops back in I jump up and dance on the ceiling. As far as "classics" go, this is on my all time faves list.

WALTER GIBBONS WALTER GIBBONS WALTER GIBBONS!!!

Who Spiked The Punch? - King Britt's Dedication to The Loft

From Saturn Never Sleeps:



CLICK TO DOWNLOAD


"Last week I had the pleasure of spinning with the Robotique crew in Philadelphia. We did a special night dedicated to Dave Mancuso‘s Loft parties in NYC. This really meant a lot to me because I was a “Lofter” in the late 80s. We use to trek up to NYC to lose ourselves in the music and an atmosphere which eventually became historic nights. This was the blueprint of my dj career.

While preparing for the special dedication, I pulled out some beautiful vinyl pieces from my library. I wanted to play things that were featured there, things I would have selected if I had played the Loft – and also sounds that may really work there today.

In this podcast you will find rare gems like Eberhard Schoener w/ The Police (before they blew up), Get the Balance Right (dub mix) by Depeche Mode and new tidbits like Maurice Fulton‘s mix of Woofy. Enjoy these tunes as much as I have over the years!"

It's going to be a pleasure to spin with Brooklyn's finest. If you are the type to go out on the weeknights, or live in the area, or are just a die hard fan of Soul, Disco, Funk records and more, don't miss this one!

Gloster Williams "No Cross No Crown"



For me this is the Gospel Disco #1 tune. I had to search this one out for about two years before I got my copy. Learned about it through Klas in 2005 through his mix for Million Dollar Disco, and props to Jeremy from Paris for posting this one up recently on youtube. Absolutely incredible from start to finish, I'm glad many of you will finally get to hear it. This would be a desert island pick for me.

OdDio's BBE Mix



Our boy OdDio on the MDD forum is mixed up in some sort of BBE battle. It's a nice mix of Disco tunes, enjoy.

Zernell is moving to L.A. b/w Check out his "Hot Lava" Mix

hot lava by diggin4heat

If you haven't already check this out yet, you should. Hot Disco mix by Chicago's Zernell, who is coincidentally moving to LA. If you are in Chicago, make sure to make your way out to Betty's Blue Star Lounge for his going away party. Zernell will be on deck with resident DJs Terry James, Brian Reaves and DJ Darryn.

BTW I also got a nice preview of Grimy Edits 3 and it is hot as always...

S.O.U.L. - This Time Around



Great soul tune I've been listening to a lot.

Atmosfear - Extract



Classic from the UK. I've always loved the ghetto horn section.

Monday, July 12, 2010

Tavasco "Love Is Trying To Get A Hold On Me" - Rampart



This tune is a MONSTER!!! When I first heard this, I think I literally listened to this song 1,000 times in a row. The I woke up the next day and did the same thing.

If you don't have a couple of thousand dollars laying around, and the connections to get a record this rare, you can settle for the re-issue like most of us did. Keep digging in the meantime. I think I'm going to play this on Tuesday at Lost & Found.

Truth Is Light



Truth is Light is very active these days, from soulful Boogie tunes to some left field craziness, don't miss your chance to get these limited edition vinyl releases.
