KINKY BUS STOPS & THREESOMES

I was checking out DJ MURO's colossal 'King's of digging' CD on London's own BBE imprint (Alongside Kon & Amir) when this killer piece of sleazy funk came out of nowhere, the mix is pretty much straight BBOY material from beginning to end & slap bang in the middle of all the breaks is this ode to the Menage A Trois by the Bob Crewe Generation which made me pay attention.. not because it was a song about 3some's (Filthy!) but because i recognised it as being the OG of DEEP FUZZ's "Kinky bus stop" a dubbed out dancefloor monster BBOY edit that came out on DISCFUNCTION that has been getting alot of airtime at Casa Hands & wherever i'm DJing recently... Now the hunt is on for the OG 45!


So I thought i'd treat you guys to a little break to the beat excursion, Personally? I dig 'em both :


OG.

J-ROCC MIXTAPE FOR SUPREME LA - "TAKE TWO"

OK folks, what the hell has been going on at The Ghetto Disco I hear you say, well, truth be told, myself & Joe's text message gigolo service didn't really pan out how we had hoped. Fortunately for us the judge was lenient enough to let us off what with it being our first offence n'all ...


Looks like we are back in the saddle.


Big up the folks at SUPREME LA for hooking this up, it has been doing the rounds recently but I only got around to copping it yesterday, as with all of J-ROCC's mixtapes it's a killer so I thought i'd share it with you.
By far one of my favourite DJ's, he lays another plethora of expertly mixed & doubled BREAKS on us, running through tracks like : The Jimi Ently Sound's 'Charlie's Theme', Les Baxter's 'Hoagin machine', The Heath Bros. 'Smilin Billy suite' & some lesser known joints. You may already have heard this mix (Or the other one he did for SUPREME) or you may not, either way, it's well worth a listen & if you dig what J is throwing down you should really check his blog HERE.

DJ J-ROCC BONUS BEAT:

WHAM! - WHAM! (1978)

I just picked up this album. Look at the artwork, its a drawing of a naked girl riding a giant fist. Amazing. Its almost a bit Spinal tap!




Don't know much about these fella's but I know that its NOT George Michael. For me the stand out tracks are 'Lovemaker', 'Superslick' and of course the mid tempo groover you can listen to and download below. The former two were released on a 12" and the 12" versions were mixed by Jim Burgess. At the time of writing this you could own the 12" for 75 bones, but I see on popsike that one went for 50US only two months ago.

Anyway, the album is great. Its kind of a 'disco rock funk' crossover affair and is well worth picking up.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME ...

...Since I posted, I'm sorry, what with the holidays & starting a new job I just don't have time!! But I'll be back on track after Xmas, big up Joe for keeping it moving ...


Anyway, check this amazing clip, I'm not sure if the lady in this clip realises how lucky she is to get a DJ lesson from Zulu king DJ Jazzy Jay & "Master of records" Afrika Bambataa but she sure looks like she's having fun ...





And remember, leave your dad's Ray Coniff LP's alone!!

BORIS MIDNEY - D-D-D-DANCE

I came across THIS fantastic article on DISCONET recently so thought I'd share this with you. 'D-D-D-Dance' was originally released in 1983 on 'MI', a label I know nothing about. The only other release on the label was another Boris Midney tune under the name 'U.S.A. - European Connection', so I think we can assume he put the records out himself. My copy of this however is on Disconet, its volume 5, program 12, side A of the Disconet series and I guess you would call it 'euro disco'.

Boris is still working today and has rekindled his classical roots, you can visit his site HERE.

FINGERS INC. - MYSTERY OF LOVE (instrumental)

This is what DISCOGS has written about Larry Heard. I couldn't have written it any better so without any shame, I have cut and paste...

"Larry Heard's musical influence can be heard in the songs of countless artists. For those who appreciate warm and passionate compositions, Larry's music is pure magic. He has been blessed with a unique gift that sends listeners into a blissful euphoric state.

One of his first releases in 1986 was a collaboration with singer Robert Owens, released under the group name Fingers Inc. The song 'Mystery of Love' instantly became a classic hit rising to #10 on the Billboard Dance charts. 1988 saw the release of the beautiful and groundbreaking double album set 'Another Side', showcasing the unstoppable talents of Larry, Robert and vocalist Ron Wilson.

Since then, he has released several dance/R&B/ambient albums that have kept fans satisfied while gaining waves of new listeners. For us who have heard his voice and music, we wouldn't have it any other way, he is already a legend"

If I try to think of the perfect late night house record - words like deep and hypnotic spring to mind, I don't know if you can get much deeper than this. I also think this supports the theory that its no coincidence the rise of house music coincided with the rise in ecstasy use. Anyone who has taken a 'disco biscuit' in a club will know what I am on about.
