King Tutt - You Got Me Hung Up

http://www.mrbongo.com/product/spaced-out-ten-original-disco-funk-grooves-cd-1164

This collection of underground dance music covers tracks released between 1975 and 1983 from both sides of the Atlantic. The tracks chosen for this compilation introduce some of the pioneering few who expanded the horizons of disco to incorporate elements of dub, funk, electro, jazz and Latin. In some ways many of the artists featured here foresaw the birth of successive musical genres. There is no disputing that they were all well ahead of their time and with the recent trend of similarly inspired house they sound as fresh today as they did then.

The music chosen for this album were the underground classics that made the scene what it was in the heady of days of the Paradise Garage and the Loft in NYC and the Warehouse in Chicago where DJs such as Arthur Baker and Francois Kervorkian could be heard spinning such tracks.

On disc two (CD version only) Masters at Work add their touches to one of their favourite tracks while Harvey and Underdog take on the Disco Dub band and come up with two very different interpretations which will work on today’s dancefloors. 

Powerline - Double Journey

It drifted from somewhere deep in the distant blue
A quiet wandering breath unknown
Trying softly to recall
All the shapes it once carried before the world was born around it
It gathers a glow at the edge of an ancient memory

Never reaching close to what it meant to reveal
Only discovering it never found the words

It held a place above the stone
It never made the light feel torn
As it listens to a calling breeze
Anyone else would clearly see
It watches the ground below

But what the air believes, it keeps
No careful mind can puzzle it away
What moves in veil
Feels always better than silence
Better than silence at all

It keeps drifting somewhere lost in a fading glow
Where it still imagines there is room to rise again
Some hour, someplace
Its warmth will settle back
It held a place above the stone
It never made the light feel torn
As it listens to a calling breeze
Anyone else would clearly see
It watches the ground below

But what the air believes, it keeps
No careful mind can puzzle it away
What moves in veil
Feels always better than silence
Better than silence at all

What the air believes
It keeps
No careful mind can puzzle it away
What moves in veil
Feels always better than silence
Better than silence at all

Producing under the moniker Isoul8, as well as teaming up with Domu under the Rima alias for the incredible jazz/fusion album 'This World', Volcov is a truly important player in the underground music scene. Remixing artists such as Frankie Valentine, Azymuth & Taylor McFerrin, running his two labels Archive and Neroli, as well as DJing all over the World has given Volcov a rare knowledge of soul, funk, disco and deep house music; knowledge which is very apparent throughout this album.
'From The Archive' comprises a lovingly chosen collection of obscure Funk, Disco & Boogie tracks, alongside three very special edits produced by the man himself. From Chez Damier's sun-drenched remix of The Urban Crew's 'Go' to Bembe Segue's emotional 'Sun On My Back' via Shuya Okino's disco epic 'Still In Love', this record takes the listener on a joyful journey deep into Volcov's musical mind.
