Sweet Dynamite

Claudja Barry is one artist that continues to shine. Her first 12" single was "Sweet Dynamite" (Salsoul). Her most recent release "I Will Stand" (DonnaJean) topped the charts once again. In between these two it's been hits like the multimillion selling Platinum disco anthem "Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes" (Chrysalis), "Trippin' On the Moon" (Personal), "Work Me Over / I Will Follow" (TRS), "Down & Counting" (Epic), and "Good Time" (Radikal) that have maintained Claudja's presence on the international music scene. Her success has not been lost on the world of pop music: In Canada alone she's been nominated for nine Juno Awards (the Canadian Grammy) and was awarded the Juno for Best Female Artist.

Glamorous, multilingual and highly traveled Claudja has sung in some the world's best venues - among them Studio 54, The Saint, (NYC), The Palace (Paris), Budokan Hall (where she won the Silver Prize at the Tokyo Music Festival), and The Verona Arena (Italy). She is an artist whose stage presence, longevity, and performances have been noted and appreciated not only in the arena of pop/dance music, but also in film, theatre and television as an accomplished actress.

The demands of her millions of fans across the world have been answered with the chart-topping hit, "I Will Stand", and her return to the stage and screen. It is clear that Claudja has enjoyed longevity in the entertainment business, but she believes that even after all her success, the best is yet to come.

Nights Over Egipt

The Jones Girls consisted of sisters Brenda, Valorie and Shirley Jones. They served as backup singers for Lou Rawls, Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Franklin, and Le Pamplemousse (AVI Records). They worked with Diana Ross from 1975-78 and were the backup singers on Linda Clifford's 1978 album If My Friends Could See Me Now.
Their biggest hit was "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else". The song broke the Billboard Magazine Top 40 at #38 in May 1979. The song was also a Top 5 R&B hit.
An additional hit followed in 1980, with the single "I Just Love The Man", charting at #9 in January 1981. The less successful, "Nights Over Egypt", (released in 1981, charting at R&B #23 in 1982) is currently a cult classic that receives more airplay on urban radio stations than their previous bigger hits.

Valorie Jones died on December 2, 2001 in Detroit at the age of 45.

God bless you Valorie.

Discocross

Originally released in 1978 as a soundtrack to an italian TV-show, this legendary and super-rare Italo disco album features members of cult 70's electronic prog rock / horror soundtrack composers Goblin, with 3 long tracks, of strung out druggy dancefloor excess, arpeggios, animal noises, tribalpercussion, and eerie female vocals that give it a horror movie feel at times.

Les Edits Du Golem

"He came to protect you.
He's growing every day.
He's made out of mud and letters.
He uses scissors to edit obscure tracks.
No one, except his master, could destroy him...
The time has come for the world to experience the power of the Golem.
Each release will be around a specific theme."

For the first one, the Golem dig 3 gems from overseas...
Sumak is an epic space-funk track from the middle east recorded in the 70's ! And never pressed on a 12" !!!
Klout is an edit of a reggae tune from the other side of the world...High infectious groove !
And Pyramide is a Disco/Balearic arabian song from late 70's...
These 3 tracks were never repressed and they are entirely re-mastered for maximum power !

Guest Mix #3 Ilija Rudman (No Strings Attached + Time Stand Still)

You know you're doing something right when Greg Wilson's knocking at your door. "He Approached me on Myspace a few months ago," recalls Croatian producer Ilija Rudman, "because he was into what he was hearing."

Although's he's been actively making music for almost a decade. The late 20's producer's really come into is own in 2007 with releases on Deep Freeze, Infant and Rong Music, successful studio ventures with Phonique and Spirit Catcher ("Night Vision" and "Inside (Good Idea)" respectly)and a deliciously deep disco-house cut "After Midnight" for Love Is War Music, the new label headed up by 1Gnition's Marcus J Knight.

Ilija's funk, analogue-heavy sound will appeal if Norwegian Balearik or 2020's electronic house rings your bell. But why's it happening now? Simple... "I've been collecting the original tools that the producers 20 years ago using to get that authentic electro-disco funk sound. So the tracks i make with this setup today, better things start to happen."

As well as engaging in more collaborations than your average rap superstar, he's stepping up the place at his own label, Red Music, the "eclectic disco" imprint he set up in 2003, with releases planned every month. So what can we expect to hear when he gets together with Greg wilson? "We're working on some re-edits but we're also making some original music as The Barbarella. It's the freshest thing i'm doing. This is something for the next year so maybe it's too early to talk about this, however."

Thanks Ilija for this lovely mixes, and for your symphaty.

Magic Fly

Space is a French electronic music band, one of the most notable artists of the short lived Space Disco music scene (a variation of Hi-NRG Disco and part of 70's Eurodisco).

Space was founded in 1977 by Didier Marouani (also known as Ecama). The first three albums — Magic Fly, Deliverance and Just Blue — were an immediate and staggering success (they sold over 12 million records all over the world).
The album Magic Fly, which is widely considered to be their best work, was released in audio cd in 2001, 24 years after its original release. Although Didier Marouani left the band in 1979, the other two members Roland Romanelli and Jannick Top released in 1980 the album Deeper Zone under the name of Space. Then Space officially collapsed in 1981.

PEG

"Peg" is a song by rock group Steely Dan (formed by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker), which was released as a single from their 1977 album Aja.

The guitar solo on the track was attempted by seven top session guitarists before Jay Graydon's version became the "keeper". Rick Marotta played drums on the track; and the distinctive whistling sound in the intro is Tom Scott playing the lyricon, a type of electronic wind instrument.

The song describes a young female in a questionnable debut scene or photo shoot. She is warned that those images may "Come back to [her]". Note the playful reference to mid-20th century cinema and perhaps less-than-savory Times Square movie houses or magazines in the chorus: "you see it all," then quietly "in 3-D!"

The version on this post is a intrumental edit of "Peg", included in the record "Community Service" [CS-1].

(AVI) Part 6

Lowrell Simon (born March 18, 1943 in Chicago) is an American soul singer. He began as a singer in The LaVondells, which became The Vondells and enjoyed some regional success in the 1960s with the song "Lenore". When the Vondells broke up, Simon formed the group The Lost Generation alongside several Chicago friends, and the group scored several US hits between 1969 and 1974. After the band's breakup, Simon made contributions to the soundtrack to the 1974 film "Three the Hard Way", and wrote tracks for the 1976 debut album of Mystique, which featured other former members of The Lost Generation. He also wrote the tune "Dance Master" in 1974 for Willie Henderson and the 1979 tune "All about the Paper" for Loleatta Holloway.

In the late 1970s, Lowrell Simon began recording under only his first name. He signed to Liberace's label, AVI Records, and released an album in late 1979 entitled Lowrell. The album's second single, "Mellow Mellow Right On" b/w "You're Playing Dirty", was a #32 US R&B hit that year. The song has been sampled copiously, including by Massive Attack, Imagination and Common.

Sound Of Silver

For a future-disco hero, LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy is unusually self-conscious. Before you hear a single kick-drum sample on his excellent second album, Murphy seems to be intentionally setting the bar low, giving the massive, clattering dance-floor killer that opens the disc the awesomely pathetic title of "Get Innocuous."

The first LCD track, 2002's "Losing My Edge," was an anthem for aging hipsters everywhere; Silver's first single, "North American Scum," is about the existential crisis of being American at this particular historical moment. Even though it's difficult to imagine Murphy ever exhorting, "Everybody dance now," musically he owes a huge debt to house-music masters like Clivilles and Cole. Putting aside the world-weary Bowie-meets-Byrne vocals, the bulk of the tracks -- "Innocuous," "Us v Them," "Sound of Silver" -- could be lost late-Eighties dance classics. But somehow it all holds together as an album (the New Wave-y tunes "Someone Great" and "All My Friends" help), and by the end, ex-indie-rocker Murphy comes full circle, returning to his roots with the Pavement-meets-Morrissey comic lament "New York I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down."

Sample Pleasures

Part Two of the bestselling Sample Pleasures series and Number 5 on the label. The Popular People's Front continue their sonic manifesto, combining samples in a classic style with 21st century tools, to craft another selection of heavyweight retro grooves & modern basement workouts to Soulpsychedelisize your party Focusing on less well known, but no less legendary tracks from the last days of Disco, Italo workouts, Hip Hop and stripped back modern jams, retranslating them into dancefloor smashing sample collages. New Artists Fat Camp & Gilen Nadlie contribute alongside the PPF boss man and Artwork Supremo Leozero.

What A Devine Edit

The fourth instalment of the Creative Use series is something special. Three edits done by a man renowned on the bearded disco scene, not only for his ridiculously good DJ sets, but his tireless digging for new (old) records that no-one else has got, or in most cases heard, here you get three examples of this.

My favourite, sounds a bit like "Benny And The Jets" at the start which could never be a bad thing, and the evolves into a sweet downbeat gospel / soul number.

(AVI) Part 5

Eastbound Expressway first appeared on the 1976 single "Danger Zone", a production by British DJ and producer Ian Levine.

Levine had originally intended the name to be Ian Levine and the Sounds of Summer but then changed it into Eastbound Expressway. Eastbound Expressway was then revived in 1978 when Levine was signing James Wells to AVI. One of the songs, "Never Let Go" was a repetitive funky dance groove. AVI loved the song but loathed Wells' wailing on top of it and asked Levine to take off his voice. "Never Let Go" was then released as an Eastbound Expressway 12" single which became a club hit early 1979, and AVI asked Levine to produce an album for it.

AVI liked the resulting album Levine delivered but they just didn't think it was as funky as "Never Let Go" so the album released under another moniker, credited to Croisette. Levine rushed back into the studio to record another album with a more groove-based sound which was released, credited to Eastbound Expressway, in the summer of 1979. As with many 70s studio projects, no line-up appeared on the cover. The vocals had been sung by Levine's usual crew of session singers in the London Trident Studios.

When Levine began producing Hi-NRG records for Record Shack Records in 1983, he revived the Eastbound Expressway name for the 12"s "Primitive Desire" (1983) - running 13½ minutes - and "Frantic Love" (1984), once again with a faceless group. Both singles were big hits on the Hi-NRG scene, the vocals being provided by three session singers, Norma, Shirley & Dee Lewis and one of Levine's other artists Laura Pallas.

Levine left Record Shack early 1986 and signed with UK label Passion Records where he assembled an actual line-up for Eastbound Expressway, consisting of Karen Freeman, Joycelyn Phillips, and Bonnie Anderson. The trio appeared on three successful 12 inches for the label, most successfully "You're a Beat" (a pun on Eurobeat which the Hi-NRG sound was now being labelled) and also submitted the track "Whiplash" for Levine's own label Nightmare Records, early 1989.

A compilation CD The Best of Eastbound Expressway, comprising all the recordings Levine did under that name, was released by Miami-based Hot Productions, Inc. in 1995.

His connection into the music starts on the earlier 80's, when he created the band'Culto da Ira' in witch one he was the bass player. This band has been the 2nd best one on the modern music conquest 'Rock Rendez Vous' witch has given them the opportunity of getting one of their tracks on the album released by this club. In 1986 he starts djing at 'No Sense' Club in Porto, suggesting new sound influences. An year later, he opens 'Loco Mosquito bar' in witch one he has been also resident Dj ,this time introducing danceable sounds.

Are You Like It?

More, More, More" was the signature song of Andrea True, who performed under the name "The Andrea True Connection".

The song was sent to the United States after being recorded in Jamaica; the idea for a single was brought up so True could make profits from a television commercial she was making in Jamaica (an attempted coup in the country hindered the ability for her to get her commercial profits in cash). Buddah Records liked the sound, and originally only released the song to discos in the winter of 1976. The popularity of "More, More, More" was immense. Widespread listener interest convinced Buddah to release the single commercially in the spring. The song rose to number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the UK Singles Chart.

Set aboard the Pacific Princess, a luxury cruise ship which embarked each week on a romantic, sentimental, and often hilarious voyage across tropic seas. Three or four stories told on each telecast were interwoven and often involved the ship's crew, who were seen on the show every week.

Famous movie and TV stars were delighted to accept guest roles on The Love Boat's floating sound stage, combining work with travel to exotic locations. Most of the episodes were filmed on two real cruise ships, the Pacific Princess and the Island Princess, during their regular voyages from the Virgin Islands to Alaska. Paying passengers were invited to participate as extras.

Mother, Father, Sister, Brother

MFSB (short for "Mother, Father, Sister, Brother") were a loose conglomeration of studio musicians who provided backing tracks for dozens of seminal Philadelphia soul recordings in the 70's. They later released successful singles and albuns as a stand-alone recording act.

Assembled by the production team of Gamble & Huff, MFSB was the house band for their Philadelphia International Records label and provided both the signature smooth Philadelphia sound that dominated the early 1970's for the acts who recorded at their Sigma Sound Studios, including The Delfonics, The O'Jays, Blue Magic, The Spinners, Teddy Pendergrass and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes; and the "high hat" disco sounds that dominated the late 1970's with groups like The Trammps, First Choice, Ripple and Double Exposure.

Groovin' You

One of the best solo records from Harvey Mason -- best known as the drummer on some really monster 70s funky fusion sessions (such as Johnny Hammond's Gears album) -- but a surprisingly well-rounded R&B artist overall! As with Norman Connors, another fusion drummer gone soul star, Harvey's working here in a style that mixes jazz influences with modern soul -- grooving things for a more mainstream audience, but still keeping things real underneath. The record's filled with guest appearances by fusion greats -- like Bob James, David Spinozza, Richard Tee, Lee Ritenour, and others -- and Jim Gilstrap sings vocals on a cut or two.

Getting Off!

Another great compilation! I Love It...

Getting Off: The Seductive Sounds of 70's Adult Cinema is another porno music compilation - but with a difference; the emphasis is definitely on creating an atmosphere by using the music, with almost no dialogue/moaning/groaning as is the usual deal with porno music comps.

On closer inspection, Getting Off: The Seductive Sounds of 70's Adult Cinema is actually a compilation of genuine (licensed) 70's library music mixed with some music (lifted from DVD) from actual 70's and early 80's porno movies, with the library music here having every chance of actually being used in adult movies back in the day.

Whatever - with Getting Off: The Seductive Sounds of 70's Adult Cinema, the guys at Lucky Monkey Records have put together a great little compilation that definitely evokes that sexy 70's porno movie sound!

Track Listing:

01. L. Hurdle & F. Ricotti - Move On

02. Anton Scott - J. P. Walk (From "Boogie Nights")

03. Alan Tew - Gentle in the Night

04. Ray Davies - Power Play
05. Unknown - Nude Interlude #1 (From "Kinky Ladies of Bourbon Street")

06. Alan Hawkshaw - Hawkwind and Fire
07. Brian Bennett - Disco Fever
08. Roger Webb & Keith Grant - The Bends

12. Unknown - Fernando's Blues (From "Come Under My Spell")
13. Unknown - Nude Interlude #3 (From "Do You Wanna Be Loved?")

PS.: Seems like divshare dont work well right now, so the tracks will be available soon...

6 000 000 Steps

Imagination was a trio from the U.K. that put a synthesized and often clubby spin on soul groups from the 70's. In fact, a couple of 70's groups have direct ties to Imagination. Leee John and Ashley Ingram spent time during that decade playing supportive roles in the Delfonics and Chairmen of the Board, prior to Imagination's formation. Along with drummer Errol Kennedy, vocalist John and bassist Ingram formed the group in 1981. By the end of that year, they already had their first album released and a minor hit in the form of that album's title track, "Body Talk." The group's second album, 1982's In the Heat of the Night, was their most successful, spawning a trio of U.S. R&B chart hits in the form of "Just an Illusion" (#27), "Magic and Lights" (#52), and "Changes" (#46). Those singles were even more popular in their home country, with the first pair reaching the top five. The remix collection Night Dubbing appeared the following year, as did the group's third proper album, Scandalous. The group's success fizzled until their mid 90's breakup (at the time, Leee John was the only remaining original member), though 1984's "This Means War" was able to put a dent in the U.S. R&B chart. John remained active in the entertainment industry, hosting U.K. television programs and continuing his recording career as a solo artist and collaborator. Since the group's split, several compilations have been released.

Made In PT

I think most of the "disco people" knows "Made In USA - Made In USA" Lp, released in 1977 on De-Lite Records, specialy because he includes the superb "Melodies" (who have been re-edited on Moxie under the name "melodica").

This post is not about "Melodies"... Is about other great track included in the lp, called "Shake Your Body", here with a SDC Edit... ;)

What's Going On?

"When would the war stop? That's what I wanted to know...the war inside my soul."
That was the question that inspired Marvin Gaye to create his most deeply realized record, What's Going On?. This 1971 album went against the grain at Motown, which had become mired by this time in its hit-factory mentality of the '60s. Berry Gordy even fought with Gaye over releasing the album. Fortunately the artist prevailed over the businessman, and Gaye's masterpiece reached the masses, generating a stellar response and record sales (three songs went all the way to number one). What's Going On? magically combines Gaye's deeply arresting vocals and socially conscious lyrics with the perfectly flowing sound of his fellow musicians, making the album the single greatest statement of musical genius to ever come out of Motown. Gaye uses the medium of music to preach, exploring with soulful eloquence the social ills of the day--drug addiction, environmental devastation, police brutality, taxes--themes that still resonate today. Despite his often bleak observations of the times, Marvin's overall message offers the promise of redemption. The overriding message of What's Going On? is ultimately one of hope: we can save ourselves ONLY if we can learn to "holler love, love, love across the nation/together and holy/we can claim love our salvation." Filled with the utmost of sincerity, Marvin sings almost as if divinely inspired, rising to new heights, free of any cliché R&B phrasings.


This Shhhhh Edit makes use of the outtakes for a mellow string intro and neat loops to bring out the groove, making the eventual appearance of Marvin's heart-rending chorus all the more soul-affirming...

Pop Dell'Arte 20 Years (Bloop Recordings)

This release marks the 20th anniversary of the original 1987 release of “Querelle”, an amazing piece of music. Pop Dell’Arte have gathered mythic status in Portugal. Their frontman, João Peste, was responsible for one of the most progressive and interesting indie labels of the 80s and released everything from alternative pop to experimental electronica. Against all odds, Peste managed to keep Pop Dell’Arte going since the mid-80s, although with many line-up changes, and in the process recorded several modern classics of the portuguese scene.
The Glimmers got on board for the remix, that is an actualization of the original, because they are fans of the band. They included their version of the Adonis classic “No Way Back” on their Fabric compilation after playing Lisbon’s Lux where Zé Pedro Moura, the bass player from Pop Dell’Arte, is also a resident DJ. After that, the connection was obvious and this remix is further proof of that.
The Glimmers, of course, do not need any further introduction: they are among the finest crafters of sounds for the modern dancefloor and have here taken a classic and brought it to the 21st century.

(AVI) Part 4

Discognosis is a rare and obscure production by two of the greatest disco producers: Rinder & Lewis.
This was an experimental project where the sound isn't well definited. The opening track is psychedelic disco with a horror theme. "Poison Ivy" is more pop, where as "One On One" brushes up soundtrack sounds. "Good Time Man" and "Love Shortage" are good tracks which could be exploited better. "Step By Step" is the big one: wonderful disco track with repetitive vocals, piano and hypnotic arrangements. The only defect is its shortness: i've always wondered whether the 12" exists!! ...
