Decks at the ready, Ipod's primed and ears throbbing for some sounds. I'm going to get stuck straight into the action and lay down a selection of 5 tracks i'm digging with a big funky spade at the moment.
Right then, enough of the small talk....
1. Dee Jay Punk Roc - My Beatbox (Les Rythmes Digitales remix)
Make no mistake, this isn't a new record... Released in 1998, some might say - why's he blogging about tracks that old for? Well listen and find out - heard this on a C90's mix and acquired a copy soon after. Les R D was certainly lightyears ahead of his time, just listen to that drop! Electro anyone? Purely genius and a no-doubt dancefloor destroyer... A definate keeper and weapon of choice.
2. Flight Facilities feat Giselle - Crave you (C90's remix)
Flight Facilities are an Austrailian twosome whose identity is widely debated. One thing is certain though, they produce exceedingly good records. Crave you is a sultry jam that oozes sexual tention from every beat, Giselles' voice pleading for recognition from an unknown entity. The C90's crank up the sex to almost orgasmic levels with their moody, prowl like Nudisco killer. Absolutely gorgeous. Yes, i am aroused.
3. Cheryl Lynn - Got to be real.
Yes Yes, i'm shamelessly plugging this from An M&S advert but i've been a lover of this record long before Twiggy started suggestively gyrating around in her undergarments (Not that i'm complaining, What a cougar!) Classic Oldskool sound and timeless with it, 100% groove and get down with your bird sound suitable for dreamy dates or booty calls alike. Get on it, it deserves a play or two!
4. Chic - I want your Love (Todd Terje edit)
This has been around for a good while, a flawless edit from Mr Terje and what a nice job he's done (Proper buzzing about seeing him next Saturday at FutureBoogie In Brizol). Extremely good memories of Greg Wilson dropping this in the back room of Matter while surrounded by loads of pretty girls... I'm not sure whether it was my animal magnatism or the fact that alot of blokes in there didn't seem too comfortable dancing to these sorts of sounds. Oh well, their loss as i cut that floor to shreds... Woooosh! WHAT.A.RECORD! Just listen to it, it's cosmic, sexually-charged wanting is enough to make me get up and clean my laminate flooring with the soles of my feet. Perfect summer record. Will never get bored of hearing it!
5. Golden Bug - Last dance in Tokyo (G.L.O.V.E.S remix)
Moving on from the sentimental sounds of yesteryear (timeless they may be) This little number is full on electronic-funk all the way from the land of Kangaroos. Golden Bug himself is a stable mate to Aus label Bang-Gang Records but not hailing from there himself, remixer G.L.O.V.E.S certainly does. Sun Drenched and gloriously funky, a backdrop of chrome bars and exotic skylines wouldn't be far out of place for this record, it continues to haunt my record box and thats certainly not a bad thing.
