Peek-a-Boo Boogie

One of the best records of last year, in my opinion, was Lee Douglas's re-edit twelve-inch The Douglas Sound EP off of Blackdisco records. This record consisted of three superb edits including The Freedom Machine's "Jangada", Asha Puthli's "Peek-a-Boo Boogie", and Fuego's "Misa Criolia (We Are The Children)". I don't want to single out one track, because all deserve worthy praise, however that being said, Douglas' edit of Asha Puthli's 1979 "Peek-a-Boo Boogie" (origanlly on her 1979 album 1001 Nights of Love"), re-titled "Hide'n Seek", continues to be one of my favorite disco re-edits of all-time. The amazing edit tends to touch me the same way that Alicia Bridges' "I Love The Nightlife" does at the end of a long exhausting evening. I find that it's that perfect cut that can work nicely as background music at a low-key bar night or on the dancefloor of a nightclub. Regardless, Lee Douglas continues to amaze with growing collection of great disco edits.

More Beast Disco

Speaking of 'Beasts' (previous post), here is a Beast-ly themed disco re-edit of Marsha Hunt 22(aka Marsha Hunt)'s 1973 funky classic "(Oh, No! Not) The Beast Day" by Lee Douglas. I heard that this edit is supposedly going to eventually make it's way onto an upcoming Editions Disco release. At this point we can only hope that is still the plan. If not, please someone reale it! With that being said, enjoy part two of my 'beast disco' infactuation.
