Mixes - 80's R&B

A mix I did for the excellent Let's Get Serious Blog site, a mixture of common & rare disco boogie joints.

Zafsmusic Downtown Affair Disco Boogie Excursion

As the podcasts this year have been predominantly house and techno orientated, we decided to mix it up and add some boogie flavour to proceedings, and who better to do that than Tom Noble? If you've invested some time and money in buying disco or boogie records over the past few years then the name Tom Noble should be a familiar one. One of the deepest diggers currently operating in the USA, Noble's been involved in label endeavours such as Superior Elevation, Lotus Land and People's Potential Unlimited for the past decade that have shone new light on all manner of hidden gems from the annals of US funk, disco and boogie. Check the Discogs listings for the records reissued on Lotus Land for an idea of how respected a digger Noble is,

It's clear that Noble's eye and ear for synth-crazed lo-fi disco and boogie informs his own productions; first spotting his name on a remix credit for a 12" by The Loni Gamble Band issued on PPU in 2010, Noble's subsequently turned in killer productions for Future Times, Clone Loft Supreme and Liger Vision, as well as providing one of our favourite remixes of recent times with his rework of Klaus Weiss for FACES. We put the request out for a mix from Noble, and he graciously accepted despite a recent move across coasts fromLos AngelestoBrooklyn,New York. The subsequent 61 minute selection features all manner of fresh and unreleased material from Noble, who was also kind enough to answer some questions on how the move to NYC was working out, and what his Superior Elevation label has planned for the coming year.
