Scorching live recordings from a knockabout Bamako club in 1995, with Lobi putting his new flanger through its paces. Easing in with the soulful, hypnotic Ni Tugula; Sigui is down to business.
Coming between What’s Going On and Let’s Get It On, this 1972 soundtrack is a bonafide masterpiece.
Ace Berlin house, with a chronic case of the Disco Jerks.
Dazzling house-disco cut-ups, saucily steeped in soul classicism.
All-body coitus interruptus, dozens per minute.
The twitching, mangled corpses of Lemon and Tamiko Jones, left for dead by Frank Timm on the altar of cut-and-loop disco-house. Brilliant, rooted, and ecstatic.
A bass-bin trembler from the surefire doyen of nu disco-house.
Disco house on heat, school of Ron Hardy.
Disco edits at their most redemptively lethal. First up, Love Hangover…
A walloping one dozen tonics of close-cropped, spasming, blissed-out boogie abstraction, for dancin and prancin. Zinging pick-me-up blends of forensic, gleeful, sleight-of-hand skills and disco connoisseurship, school of Ron Hardy.
It’s a must.
Jubilant jazz-oetry cut-ups of Weldon Irvine and John Lee Hooker.
Live, organic, cosmic house from the master for the fiftieth SS. Slow-burning electro-boogie — synths over a clicking, swaying, volatile beat — and a more uptempo jazz trip, with dusty, wacked-out breaks.
