DANCE SO FINE

Here's a top-notch edit of Nijel's Boogie gem Dance So Fine, brought to you by NYC's Casual Touch. Really great take on this vocoder-laden stomper just in time for the summer!

AM I GONNA BE THE ONE?

Record digging has pretty much dried up for me lately, but I did manage to pick up a dozen or so 12"s today. Here is the only thing worth mentioning (other than a local moder raer i'll post about someday). Am I Gonna Be The One is a classic Shep Pettibone-produced boogie track, and it jams. The OG appeared on the Destination Boogie compilation (awesome), so here's the Colorful Dub/Break for Dayze mix.

JAM IT

Ripped this awhile ago and meant to post it but forgot somehow. HCRC, the same label that brought us Videeo, brings us X-25 band and the b-side to Black Hole Bop is slammin. Funky bass and vocoder for days...

I'M GOING BROKE

Buy these. 

SHARE THE NIGHT

Been meaning to dig this one out and rip for awhile.... a great post-disco boogie track. The vocals are a bit cheese (which usually I really like) but the production on this one is so tight it kinda ruins it. Luckily they've provided us with the Breakdown Mix, which is far superior in every respect. The synth/piano combo here is great, with a killer bassline!!!

Late pass...

NEW JAMS

Dam-Funk is an LA based collectro/dj/musician deep in the boogie scene. Stone's Throw recently put out his first release and its a monster. The b-side Galactic Fun is my favorite cut, and the title couldn't be more descriptive - a mid-tempo cosmic boogie jam with real lo-fi drum sounds and a killer synth line. Everything here is played by Dam, no loops. Not going to post up the tracks here - go buy it at TTL or Stone's Throw. Check out his inverview in Waxpoetics #28 to get schooled on some rare boogie/funk records, including this, one of my all time favs.

Siedah Garrett - Do You Want It Right Now?

Classic electro boogie! Recently lifted by Armand Van Helden in I Want Your Soul, but the original is better.  Produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez, and co-written by China Burton and Nick Straker(!)

K.I.D. - Hupendi Muziki Wangu?! (You Don’t Like My Music)

Don't know a lot about this track, but i've been really feeling it lately. An amazing disco/boogie instrumental from 1981 on the classic SAM label.
