Today I'm sharing one of the three re-edits from the upcoming release of Cabana Disco Vol.04. We are still a little ways off from the actual release date, however the new record excites me so much that I can't hold back any further. The fourth record in the series picks up where the last one left off with a very heavy Afro Disco underlining theme. The three edits will consist of Buari's "Advice From Father", Black Soul's "Dakar Sound" (which I choose over "Black Soul Music"), and today's featured edit in Chocolat's "African Choco". Like the previous Cabana Disco records the edits are full of tropical jungle sounds over heavy funky grooves and vocal chants. Just enough to keep the jungle safari dancin' throughout the night! Enjoy!
I'm back from New York! It was a great trip to say the least. I picked up many records, some for very very cheap I might add, that had been on my wish list for quite sometime. The best record store I had gone to, by far, was A-1 Records in the East Village. They had an amazing selection of rare disco LP's and twelves, along with a great selection of funky African/Latin records. I highly recommend checking this record shop out whenever your visiting New York and have sometime to dig. I want to give a special thanks to James Mulry who was very helpful by providing me a list of NY record stores to check out. He definitely helped make this trip very enjoyable. That being said, I'm very disappointed that I didn't get much other helpful tips from my other New York readers. I generally don't ask for much on this blog, however it would be nice in the future if those that could provide helpful information, would do so out of kindness...Enough said on that. Overall, I had a wonderful time in the "Big Apple", walking around East Village, Greenwich Village, Central Park, Soho, etc., attending Monday's taping of The Late Show w/ David Letterman, and spending too much money on records, drinking, and food. I definitely look forward to getting back there sometime soon, however I might need to pick-up a second job just to afford all the records I left behind.
