One of the many exciting releases I purchased this past month is Hot Casa's re-issue of Orlando Julius's funky 1976 afro-disco classic "Disco Hi-Life". This, until now, very rare track from the Nigerian Afro-funk legend is a brilliant dispaly of disco afro-beat perfection, blending together funky disco grooves with a more 70's afro-beat sound. The song breaks out all the stops with funky horn arrangements, smooth bass grooves, and plenty of conga action which makes for a nice dancefloor filler. The record consists of two versions of the song with one being the 1976 original and the other being a bit shorter 2009 edited version which I tend to favor, especially because Orlando Julius actually introduces the song himself adding a small message of "Enjoy yourself and be happy!". After one listen to this amazing song, that's exactly how you'll be feeling. Orlando Julius - Disco Hi-Life (2009 edit)
GO BUY THE RECORD!

Thanx for sharing this one. I bought it right away. Amazing song!
Hey Disco Dave,
I'm glad to see that some of the free giveaways eventually turn into actual purchases! That's the point. Hopefully it's happening a lot more than I even know on this blog.
Keep in touch.
