Here is a mp3 preview of my edit of Prince Blackman's killer cover of this all time classic, turned into a reggae - disco mood & called "Rockers Delight". 

The edit is featured on @Culturesofsoul 's compilation 'Tropical Disco Hustle !' that is closed to be released as a CD & a gatefold LP. 

Pre-orders are available here

Read what Cultures Of Soul says about the compilation : 

"It seems like no part of the world has evaded discos’ ubiquitous influence, including the Caribbean. The Caribbean in the late ’70s and early ’80s was a hotbed of musical activity and this compilation focuses on the best disco-influenced tracks from Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. All of the tracks here were officially licensed and reissued for the first time ever.

Highlights of the 13 tracks included on this compilation are: the under-the-radar cosmic disco tune “Got To Have You” by Joanne Wilson, a rare P&P Records-influenced track “Dance With Me” by Odessey One, the icy cool synth-trenched “Living On A String” by Wild Fire, the incredible dance floor-friendly “Instant Funk” by Merchant, and the disco reggae cover of “Rapper’s Delight” by Prince Blackman. This compilation was compiled and researched by Deano Sounds and includes edits by Al Kent, the Whiskey Barons, and Waxist Selecta. Coming out on June 17th on CD and 2LP gatefold."

INFO:
A place far away from everything, yet right around the corner. A vision close enough to touch, yet so far away. Surrounded by keys, hatches, pots and small fragmented parts, Marbert Rocel lie down, discuss and dance through the winter of 2015. In this environment, in their studio in Leipzig, the band ties together the songs, which first saw the light of day in a small spot enclosed by woods in the summer of 2014.  Each decision goes through every head, each chord is listened to a hundred times, from font to back and in reverse, each compromise: a triumph for the common cause. Not pompoous string arrangements fuel this album with grandeur, but rather the notion of a consensual nod, which has evolved within Marbert Rocel over the years.  “In the Beginning” is the fourth album by Marbert Rocel, a living utopia and a tart kiss for every purist genre lover. Nothing is hewn raw on here, rather sculptured delicately. Percussion is tickling from synth pads like dew, and the songs welcome you like good friends. Like Tinkerbell, Spunks voice guides through this strange familiar world, moving past big feelings and small gestures, to finally lead to where it all started: “In The Beginning”.

Check out his follow-up 'Clear Definition EP' at https://soundcloud.com/monologues/sets/leon-revol-clear-definition-ep

Leonid. (not to be confused with Leonid, and soon to be known as Leon Revol) absolutely stunned me with some tracks he sent me that will be released soon on my label @monologues Records ('Clear Definition EP', out March 28). The prodigious 22-year-old from Bordeaux has a sensibility with house music and old samples that's beyond his years, and he's put out some beauts on Apersonal Music and Carré Blu Records thus far. This is the glorious title track from his new EP for Italian imprint @Boutade-Musique: a summery slice of Brasiliena slo-mo house that should warm your cockles right up. A serious talent in the making.

Alkalino - All Around Me

After eight years, Claremont 56 is proud to present its’ 50th 12” single release – a special collaborative 12” that’s been some nine years in the making. Seu Torriso marks the debut from Paraiso, a project schemed up in the hilltops of Derbyshire, the sun-soaked beaches of Brazil and the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong.

The story begins in 2006, when then Matlock-based producer Ant Harrison (now resident in Hong Kong) began daydreaming about South American music. The veteran studio maestro – best known for his deep house partnership with Matt Rhythm under the Rhythm Plate guise – took to the Internet in search of inspiration, and found a Brazilian duo, guitarist Carlos and vocalist Nego. Having offered to produce some tracks from their jamming, he put together a range of tracks, adding drums, bass, Rhodes, strings (expertly played by Richard Hancock) and additional percussion.

Now those tracks, expertly mixed from the stems by Claremont 56 boss Mudd, are finally available. Both are deliciously breezy, with the duo’s loose samba vibe enhanced immeasurably by Harrison’s deft production and sympathetic rhythms. The title track kicks things off, delivering a jaunty, sun-kissed blend of shuffling acoustic guitars, cheery vocals, lilting saxophone and undeniably Balearic grooves. Mudd delivers an extended mix of “Filhas De Oxhum” on the flip, stretching out Harrison’s groove seductively, whilst leaving enough space in the mix for Harrison, Carlos and Nego’s original instrumentation and vocals to breathe. The result is a mesmerizing chunk of shuffling dancefloor Balearica, in true Claremont 56 style.

Product of a rainy afternoon....A personal favorite....here's the combination of two versions of this mesmerizing tune...one synth-based and the other jazz-based with much respect to the artists. Also can be envisioned as a sun-coming-up song. Just to help keep the float on....  ; )
