Disco legend Sylvester comes to Dark Entries with Private Recordings: August 1970, an intimate collection of vintage jazz, blues, and gospel. While Sylvester is best known for his chart-topping collaborations with producer Patrick Cowley, such as “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real),” this release reveals his passion for the sounds of the 30s and 40s. In 1970 a 22-year-old Sylvester had moved to San Francisco and found himself involved with the Cockettes, the infamous psychedelic performance art troupe. Among this milieu was Peter Mintun, a pianist and record collector living in a commune devoted to retro culture. According to Mintun, “We were like hippies who lived in the twenties. We lived in a house that didn’t have anything modern in it. Nothing in it was made after World War II.” Mintun and Sylvester bonded over their love of Black singers of yore and were allotted a slot during Cockettes performances reviving the music of the Prohibition Era. One afternoon, Sylvester and Mintun recorded a number of their shared favorites using a high-end microphone a friend had acquired. Private Recordings features 9 songs from this session, including standards like “Stormy Weather,” “Happy Days Are Here Again,” and “God Bless the Child.” Sylvester’s unmistakable falsetto brings depth and a dash of camp to these familiar tunes. The recordings are casual and intimate, even capturing banter between Sylvester and Mintun; their brief rendition of “When My Dreamboat Comes Home” has the duo working out a melody in real time. In addition to their sonic explorations of decades past, Sylvester and Mintun also staged photographic shoots in vintage couture. Private Recordings comes with a 16-page booklet on firm cardstock featuring images from these never-before-seen shoots as well as liner notes from Mintun detailing his friendship with Sylvester and their experiences recording. All this is housed in a metallic silver sleeve designed by Eloise Leigh featuring a 1920’s Art Deco aesthetic. The record will be released on September 6th which would have been Sylvester’s 76th birthday, and all proceeds from Private Recordings will go to the two charities that Sylvester left his royalties after his death: Project Open Hand and PRC (formerly AIDS Emergency Fund). This essential release documents the earliest known recordings from one of disco’s greatest talents.

As a youngster Bruno Mange Disque vibrates on the 70's/80's synthetic music (Kraftwerk, Ultravox, MARRS ...)and rediscovers the electronic music during the 90's (rave, clubbing) then he develops his tastes for disco, house music, techno and their connected styles.
During the long mix sessions of Laurent Garnier, he understands that musical selection is essential for the quality of a set.

BMD is a sonic "gourmet", he likes to use different styles in his mixes (funk, early-electro, disco, house, techno ...), 
in particular digging into safe bets labels back-catalogues (Cutting records, Prelude,  Mute, Strictly Rythm, Metroplex ...)
and also from the emergent labels releases (MCDE, Stilove4music, MyLoveIsUnderground ...) full of rare and effective house tracks or disco edits from obscurs and cult tracks

BMD organises the "Vibration Electronique" parties since 2011 and is now part of "Vibration Unlimited" crew.

Bruno Mange Disque vibre tout jeune sur la musique synthétique des 70/80's (Kraftwerk, Ultravox, MARRS ...)
et redécouvre la musique électronique au cours des 90's (rave, clubbing)
peu à peu il forge ses gouts pour la disco, la house music, la techno et leurs styles connexes
Lors des mix fleuves de Laurent Garnier, il comprend que la sélection musicale est essentielle pour la qualité d'un set.

BMD est un gourmet sonique, il aime faire appel à différents styles dans ses mix (funk, early-electro, disco, house, techno),
notamment en utilisant les répertoires des labels valeurs sûres (Cutting records, Prelude,  Mute, Strictly Rythm, Metroplex ...)
et les sorties des labels émergents (MCDE, Stilove4music, MyLoveIsUnderground ...) riches de morceaux house rare et efficace ou d'édits disco de morceaux obscures et cultes

BMD organise les soirées Vibration Electronique depuis 2011 et fait partie maintenant du collectif 'Vibration Unlimited".
