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!

Get Down With The Philly Sound

I was given this exciting new promo mix from the good people over at BBE Records previewing Dimitri From Paris's upcoming compilation Get Down With The Philly Sound. This is the 5th collaborative between Dimitri and BBE, and from the sound of things, this might be their best release so far. The mix features some of the highlights from this upcoming comp with a narrative of each track from Dimitri himself. The upcoming release will include a mixture of Philly original disco classics, as well as a solid new batch of re-edits by Dimitri. All the bases surely look to be covered as this compilation will include classic cuts from some of Philadelphia's finest including Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, The Trammps, MFSB, The Salsoul Orchestra, The Jacksons, The John Davis Monster Orchestra, Montana Sextet, plenty of Teddy Pendergrass, and much much more. Regardless of your listening preference, BBE has you covered this May, as the compilation will be released on both CD and vinyl. Overall, here is a little preview to get you excited about this upcoming release. Enjoy!

Love Is Still On Your Side

Well the end of the week is finally here, and with Valentine's Day on Sunday I thought I would end the week with a "love-themed" disco cut. Here is Premonition's funky "Your Love Is In The Pocket" off the newly released BBE records compilation The Real Sound of Chicago. This track represents just one of the many great selections from this solid compilation, which I highly recommend snatching up. Enjoy the love!

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!

The Real Sound of Chicago

The good people over at BBE records recently released another great compilation, this time of lost disco gems from the forgotten vaults of The Windy City. The new compilation, titled The Real Sound Of Chicago, was compiled by Mr. Peabody Records. This compilation mostly consists of hard-to-find tracks from Chicago disco/ boogie/ early house artists and labels that never got much attention on the national level. Some of my personal favorites consists of Sidney Thomas's "Look, Let's Make Love (And See If You Like It)", Premonition's "Your Love Is In The Pocket", and Lonnie Givens's "Running To A Disco" among others. Overall with this fabulous collection of rare Chicago based music, BBE puts together another fine compilation worth snatching up.

The Boogie is Back

This past week, the always wonderful label of BBE released a new compilation put together by DJ Spinna of boogie gems from the "post-disco" era. The solid record includes classic boogie cuts like Ronnie Dyson's "All Over Your Face", South Bronx's "The Bottom Line", Chemise's "She Can't Love You", and Jan Leslie Holmes' "I'm Your Superman" just to name a few. From all the compilations that I have come across, this might just be the best boogie-genre based comp I've ever heard. Now I'm sure I can be wrong, and people will definately inform me if I am, however the point is that this is an amazing new collection of post-disco boogie music that I highly recommend go snatching up. Enjoy your weekend!
