Most anything by Leroy Burgess & Patrick Adams : Bumblebee, Sine, Could One, Inner Life, Logg, Musique, Phreek, Universal Robot Band...

Everyone who hasn't heard it should check out "Rock Groove Machine", it's an incredible stripped-down proto-house tune with a squeaky, modulating synth line that sounds like a 303.

― deej, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:23 (fifteen years ago) link
xpost: I live to please...
Ten gamey, well-hung and not for the faint-hearted selections:
Powerline - "Double Journey" I'm sure lots of "cats" like this record but the jazz chops aren't what makes it great, it's just, like, a journey man
First Choice - "Double Cross" If you only like disco that doesn't sound like disco you're going to fucking hate this one. Strings, melodrama and slap bass make it fruitier than a make-up convention on a mango plantation
T-Connection - "At midnight" This could well be the biggest tease in disco, even more so than "work that body". About 6 minutes of hard, forceful drumming that you'd swear is a house track, and then *bang* vocals, horns, organs everything hits at once. There's nothing light or fluffy about this.
The Whatnauts - "Help is on the way" Bassline.
Erotic Drum Band - "Jerky Rhythm" Drums that hang out on street corners and bother pensioners.
The Cats'n'Jammer Kids - "Disco drum" Yeah the C2 edit is better than the original. But it's still good. Punchy punchy horns.
Kano - "It's a war" Token italo mention. OTT space battle disco.
Slimline - "If you can dance you can do it" (inst. with count) Like a workout video with cocaine and strippers. Imperious, demanding strippers.
Loleatta Holloway - "Hit and run" (Walter Gibbons mix) More like hit, hit, hit and eventually run.
Billy Nichols - "Give your body up to the music" I'm not ashamed. I can walk down the street in broad daylight looking like this. There's no room for apologies on the dancefloor.
