Its been a little while since I posted up some of the records that have been getting me at the moment... So here's a couple of sounds that have been on my radar of late... A Bit of a mixed bag, but a fine little selection of deep disco cuts, edits and the sort of tracks that take the roof off places because they're just down right ace.
Perfect for getting your head into...
Turn up loud and Enjoy!
Dexter Wansel - The sweetest Pain (OOFT! Edit)
This first came into my trajectory when i heard it on a Phil Stone (Of Chicago fame) mix he done for the Soul Clap podcast series. The whole mix is full of sweet sounding luscious vocal gems and spine tingling edits such as this remarkably beautiful effort from OOFT. Play it loud, sit back and afford yourself a big smile.... Gorgeous listening.
Patrice Rushen - Feels so Real (Tony Johns Edit)
Another favorite sound of mine at the moment, from edit specialist Tony Johns. Patrice Rushen's voice is something of an angelic blend of inner city tones and sweet vocal delights. A class edit of a class record. With that perfect mixture of electronic boogie and an edge that makes it playable on a dancefloor... Tony Johns has got it going on.
Mtune - So you wanna be a star (Black Lodge Dance edit)
Black Lodge, the name of Brighton resided Rob Fahey, turns out this epic laid back belter that raises the bar for get down sounds. Wicked use of percussion and the drop gives it that all important kick to get the party going. Ace sound and another I've been digging of late, Splendid stuff.
Lee Foss - U got me (Hot Creations)
Lee Foss, I'm sure will need no introduction... Turning out some quality stuff on Hot Creations with the likes of label stable mate Jamie Jones. This record is BIG! Getting played from here to London and back, proper moments spent to this at the recently blogged Discovery/Warm party down in London over bank holiday. All the right ingredients to have this marked out as one of those records that just melts your mind when you hear it...
Toby Tobias - Fluffy Fruit (Nang Records)
I've never really been into hip hop... But i have always loved the Notorious B.I.G. Track juicy and the sample that's used in it. Toby Tobias, in all his wonderful mastery takes the same sample and turns it into a Balearic thriller... In Typical Toby Tobias styling, the electronic synth work comes shining through with smatterings of vocals fused in to give this track edge and soul. Another sound I'm loving at the moment. Quality stuff as always.
Azari & iii - Hungry for the power (Turbo Recordings)
By no means a new record but still, one that has been getting some serious attention from myself of late. It smacks sleaze and hints heavily at Chicago House... The vocals and lyrics combining to make this one VERY sexy record. A definite dancefloor bomb and great record to hear when you're getting your vibe on! Think dark dancefloors at 3 a.m. and let yourself get loose!
Matt Hughes - Playing on my mind (Outcross Records)
As most who read this are very much aware by now, my passions run deep when it comes to quality music and Matt Hughes is a fine purveyor of this. His electro tinged disco boogie is a sound I absolutely love and this great release on Outcross is a superb example of how to make music to make dancefloors move. Quality sound and a big favourite of mine at the moment!
I think that rounds off nicely, with some perfectly good ipod fodder for you to go and search out and get into. Hope you all enjoy these records as much as I've relished listening to them and getting a groove on too!
Catch you soon for some more goodness!
Saul Wilks.
