Gimme Some Million Dollar Disco

This week, Al Kent released the latest new twelves from his quickly growing and well-crafted Million Dollar Disco series in The Soho Place EP and The Ninth Circle EP. Both records, which consist of three tracks each, feature some of the best edits to date from the Scottish disco mastermind. On both The Soho Place EP and The Ninth Circle EP, Kent reworks some very obscure gems, including one of my favorite disco cuts in Sweet Talks' funky "Do The Beat". Overall, Al Kent has once again produced two more brilliant re-edit twelves that are a "must-own" for any disco enthusiast. Enjoy!

More Disco Love

I was very excited to learn that later this month, BBE Records will be releasing the second volume of Al Kent's compilation series Disco Love. Much like the first release, which came out last year, the man behind those amazing Million Dollar Disco edits has once again dug deep into his vinyl collection and put together a well-crafted compilation full of an impressive selection of funky disco and soul gems. The compilation compiles both original disco rarities, as well as new unissued re-edits by Mr.Kent himself. The compilation will be released March 29th and it's probably safe to say that it won't last long on record shelves, therefore once it's released, I recommend people snatching this one up quickly. Here is a little taste from Disco Love 2 in Aged In Harmony's very rare disco cut "I Feel Like Dancin'. Enjoy!

Uncover The Love

Fresh off of the recent reissues of his Disco Demands series, Al Kent and BBE records have put out another solid disco compilation titled Disco Love: Rare Disco & Soul Uncovered. Just in time for Valentines Day, this amazing compilation features many uplifting and feel good disco gems like Sweet Daddy Floyd's "I Just Can't Help Myself", Bob Williams' "I'm Alright", Patricia White's "Cosmic Disco", and many many more. Unlike some of Kent's other disco compilations, this collection of music is seeing a release on both CD and vinyl, so there is no excuses to pass on such a solid record. I have a feeling that this release will move fast, therefore I highly recommend snatching up a copy as soon as possible. Enjoy the love!

Demanding the Goods

Well this is going to be another short week, with Christmas approaching and a lot of shopping still to do. I guess that's the way it goes, around this time of the year. That being said, with all the days off that I've recieved from work, I can really get into this short week thing. Anyways, here is a funky instrumental gem, "Disco Socks" by Omni, from the recently re-released Al Kent compilation series Disco Demands. This track was featured on volume one of the four-part series. This is just one of the many standout cuts featured on the compilation which also includes solid tracks like The Chocolate City Connection's "Take The Music to the Party", Mr. Q's "Party Party", JDV and Friends' "Disco Beat", and Puff's "In The Mood" among many others. Overall Disco Demands is a solid compilation series that features many rare disco cuts that can be extremely hard to hunt down individually.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday!
