DJ Blue Funk Edits

New music for a new year! Let's kick things off with a disco edit of the stellar funk/disco group L.T.D. Their cut "One On One" was the 1st cut on their fabulous disco album "Devotion" from 1979, but did not get a single release. I edited it in the vein of the classic disco era 12" edit and then created a shorter edit for the also customary 7" pressings made at the time. I hope y'all dig! Share, comment, like, and follow if you enjoy it! More music coming soon. Cheers, DJ Blue Funk.

L.T.D. One On One Single Edits

Estrumental

112 kbps files for preview - don't be a dunce!

We're so happy to announce the next arrival in our 7” series with OUTTA SIGHT, two incredibly unique and loving treatments of a soul classic.

On the A side we have Kan Sano’s signature future soul approach, accentuating the beautiful original vocals with lush pianos and sparse boom-bappity drums. Freddie Joachim flips it for the B side, channeling the juke-joint energy of the OG into a soulful house killer!!

Early support from Hot Toddy, Soul Clap, Roberto Rodriguez, Tall Black Guy, Rahaan, OOFT!, Get Down Edits, Roy Dank (Wurst Music Co.), Free Magic (Discovery), Jeff Craven (Large), Satin Jackets...

To celebrate Record Store Day 2014 BBE present to you two previously unreleased gems from the vaults, remixed by Glasgow's answer to Walter Gibbons, Al Kent.

"When Did You Stop" by The J's was criminally overlooked on its initial release in 1977 except on certain dance-floors in the north of England. Al Kent included the 12 inch version on his Disco Love Volume 2 for BBE, and while we did the licensing deal we discovered the original tapes were still safe and sound. So Al excitedly set to work creating a more disco friendly version of the song, taking influence from his hero Walter Gibbons, which quickly became a highlight of his DJ sets. We thought it was finally time to share this one with the rest of the world.

Similarly, Sandy Barber's "I Think I'll Do Some Stepping On My Own" was a big northern hit, but didn't receive much commercial success. And, like the J's, the inclusion on Disco Love 2 revealed a lock up containing the original tapes. Al's instrumental "Disco Jam" version appeared on our deluxe edition re-release of Sandy Barber's album alongside some John Morales mixes, but this "Classic Version" has remained unreleased until now. It doesn't seem possible that the original version could be bettered, but in Al's capable hands it's been transformed into a stunning seven minutes of soulful beauty.

*Mixed at Ebony Cuts*
Due for release on BBE Records, April 2014

The J's "When Did You Stop" Al Kent Disco Version

Extended Dance Edit of Fay Larry's Band - Be My Lady.

Formed by drummer and vocalist "Fat" Larry James (August 2, 1949 - December 5, 1987)   The band's biggest hits were "Act Like You Know" (1982) (which later appeared on the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City) and "Zoom", which reached number two in the UK Singles Charts.

Be My Lady was taken from the Album Breakin' Out which was released in 1982, the track was also released as a single the same year.

James died from a heart attack, at the age of 38, on December 5, 1987 and the band folded.

Next up on The Reflex’s official vinyl label DISCOLIDAYS is a two tracker fully licensed from Cerrone via Because Music / Malligator featuring first time ever multi remix from the classic ‘Look For Love’ by The Reflex (the original was released on his Cerrone IV album in 1978) b/w a welcome repress of The Reflex revision of ‘Hooked On You’ (Cerrone #1 remix of all Cerrone remixes on Spotify) that was only available on a super limited 12” back in 2015.
Both remixes have been released digitally by Because / Malligator on the ‘Cerrone x The Reflex’ EP last April, and Cerrone generously granted a licence to The Reflex in order to release it officially on his label DISCOLIDAYS second release.
Cerrone loved the remixes so much that both are now integral part of his Live / DJ set and ‘Look for Love’ will be the only remix done by someone else featured on his forthcoming album ‘Cerrone by Cerrone’ which sees the disco legend revisiting his own back catalogue.
The vinyl went straight to the top of Juno Records overall charts on pre-orders alone, the day before its official release date.
A list of stores stocking the vinyl is available here: https://linktr.ee/cerronexthereflexvinyl

Eric B & Rakim - I Know You Got Soul (DJ Blue Funk 'I Got The Funk' Remix)

Van McCoy, the great disco producer, who swept the nation by storm with his hit single "the Hustle," made many great disco tracks... "Change with the Times" has an amazing drum break and instrumental breaks, so I chopped them up, boosted up the bass and extended out the intro so you can ride out the groove... Enjoy!

The Rebirth  Evil Vibrations

As an aficionado of hip-hop, jazz, funk, and vinyl, I like to bring to you great tracks that comprise many of the elements that make up the distinct sound... the sound of the golden era. This funky yet pensive little break comes from Donald Byrd's highly acclaimed first jazz funk album... Enjoy! Share, like, repost, & comment!

More breaks coming soon... These Are The Breaks! 

Donald Byrd - Love's So Far Away (DJ Blue Funk's "Bluesy Break")

Featured on Maiden Voyage Radio show by DJ Mr. Lob @mr-lob

One of those lovely tracks I found through a hip hop track, the classic 87 tune: "I Know You Got Soul" by Eric B & Rakim. I felt this could use some extra DJ love, so I extended the groove in my somewhat usual manner. Hope you dig! Give it a like/repost!

I had to add samples onto the drums loops: if any DJs want the version without, please PM me.
