DJ Spiltmilk “Spiltmilk EP”
The good homie, Spiltmilk, dropped his new EP today. All three tracks are straight up dance floor fillers, laced with enough funk to get your body moving uncontrollably. Some may know him from his days DJing and throwing parties in Edmonton , or maybe you know him through his work …
Forgotten Treasure: Paul McCartney & Wings “Good Night Tonight” (1979)
Many years ago, my friend used to run a Post-Punk night at Korova Bar in Montreal during the same time I also did a night there. I’d go to her Post-Punk night and she’d come to my Disco Boogie night and we’d support each other while enjoying slightly different styles …
Forgotten Treasure: The Jammers “Be Mine Tonight” (1982)
Disco is a goldmine for heart melting romantic themed music, and in light of this upcoming lover’s holiday, I thought I would share one of my favorites. It’s not a conventional Valentine’s Day song but I think the message is pretty clear. The opening line is what does it for …
MOOVMNT “The Future of Funk 3”
via Moovmnt: “Back in 2011 we brought you the last Future of Funk mix and I’m sorry we left you funkless for such a long time. With the new website online, we thought it was about time we picked up were we left off then. I called up the homie …
Apollonia 6 Movie
Apollonia 6 was an 80’s band / Prince creation made up of a trio of women that produced one album, one solid hit and one epic short film. Patricia Kotero, Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie were Apollonia 6, and if you’ve seen Purple Rain, then you’ll be familiar with Kotero …
Forgotten Treasure: Steve Harvey “Tonight” (Francois K Remix) (1983)
Last night I came home after a long night of work and found a sweet new MIMS gem dug up by fellow disco homie Devon Eve. During the boogie breakdown I heard a guitar riff (4:02-4:09) that inspired a familiar-yet-mysterious melody in my head. The imaginary blend of both tracks …
Forgotten Treasure: Sumy “Funkin In Your Mind” (1982)
Sumy’s “Funkin In Your Mind” is a great funky throw back tune for all you smooth 80’s boogie lovers. And if you can’t really get on board with this beat, you most certainly can’t argue with the album cover – absolute gold! To consider this a forgotten treasure would be …
Dam-Funk “The Crown” (1996 Cassette)
Dam-Funk dug up a cassette home recording from ’96 called THE CROWN. Press play. No walkman required.
Classic Mixes: Paul Nice “Soul on the Grill vol.2″ (2003)
Second instalment of my two favorite 80’s Boogie mixes called Soul on the Grill from NY’s Paul Nice, a name very well known by diggers but still somewhat slept on by the average listener. These Soul on the Grill mixtapes are pretty much the main reason why I’ve never done one …
Jorun Bombay’s “Rock The Discotek”
Going back to my East Coast roots with this one. Jorun Bombay, in my mind, has been one of Canada’s best kept secrets. Well, he used to be anyways. When the likes of Jazzy Jeff is pushing your music on his mixtapes, you know you have arrived. When you look …
Forgotten Treasure: The Jones Girls “You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else” (1979)
Jon Dasilva & Maceo Plex’s Love Somebody Else is a supreme House remix of the 1979 R&B hit by The Jones Girls – You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else. I heard it on a Maceo Plex mix many months ago and all I had to listen to since was …
Forgotten Treasure: Yvonne Gage “Doin’ It In A Haunted House” (1984)
This is a rare and humorous take on Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and is a Halloween boogie gem. Yvonne Gage’s Doin’ It In A Haunted House was released in 1984 on CBS Records/CIM, and is the absolute definition of a disco one hit wonder that has long been forgotten. I bought …
