Grimy Edits Volume 3 - Zernell



Grimy Edits Vol. III (sampl.) by grimyedits

Just got this one in the mail! The latest in the Grimy series explores the more obscure cuts, deep disco chops from Zernell and Goodking.

Volume 3 starts off with the funkeee dancefloor killer "Disco-nnect" with some great synth sounds and key changes on there, then I'm really feeling the deep vibes in the second cut "New Group In Town" which creates that sleazey atmosphere that I love with those fucked up guitar effects, and finally, last but not least comes the EPIC third cut with those feel good vibes and emotional vocal delivery, that Northern Disco vibe. That tune is absolutely beautiful, and personally I think they are all necessary tunes for those with a refined taste in Disco that are building a slightly deeper collection. Grimy as always, and only real DJs need apply.

If you don't already have volumes 1 & 2 they are worth searching out with the creative chops and new takes on some classic tunes using parts of the songs that are not found on the standard releases, mixing up sections from LP versions, 7" versions and and 12" versions into one new cut.

Keep digging vinyl kids, and make sure you check out Zernell bringing the heat to LA on Friday, November 12th at the Juan Mclean show!

Special Guest jared Box AKA JBX at Love Fixation



I am very excited about this night. Many of you may remember this scorcher of a soul mix he did for us some time ago:

Thanks For Waiting

Jared Boxx a.k.a. JBX of the world-famous ‘Big City Records’ record store here in the Big Apple just blessed Secret Rendezvous with the "Thanks for Waiting" mixtape. Jared has been one of the east coast’s most consistent record dealers over the past 10 years, honing his trade in New York’s well known ‘Sound Library’ before moving on to open his own boutique store in Alphabet City, Big City records. Jared also lit up dancefloors as one of the main DJs spinning rare tunes at Bumpshop, NYC's favorite rare funk and soul 7" party, and continues to drop vinyl heat Tuesdays at Savales in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

"Thanks for Waiting" is a magnificent mix of independent records, ranging from mid-tempo steppers, to slow tunes and dancers. All the records on this mix are bound together by their independent spirit, and ambition to produce lush recordings dripping with soul, while on a budget of course. This one is really special, I didn't know a lot of the tunes on here, and the ones I do recognize are only a painful reminder of how bad I need them in my collection. So sit back and soak up the tunes forgotten through time and limited resources, finally brought to our ears by JBX...

"Disco Dancing"

I'm feeling both of these tunes. The first edit is a mid tempo block party boogie cut, and the second one is a fired up percussive dance floor Disco tune. Buy your copy now!
