The PLATES: Message In The Music’ – an astonishingly great journey through soul, disco, boogie, funk, rock, prog and post punk, all reshaped by The Architects of the Good Groove
Not just layering house beats over disco classics, but deconstructing and reconstructing, Disco Police's superbly wide-ranging taste in music has delivered a project which is jam-packed with innovation and experimentation: 
demonstrating that recycling older material can reap rich creative results. 
The Disco Police is well known for their extensive editing career where they perfected the techniques needed to maximize the dance floor dynamics of a song whilst adhering to its original spirit. 
Their version of disco house music is a rich, percussive concoction, taking in their musical traditions as well as their beloved Chicago house, and blending elements of funk soul, jazz and disco into rich rhythmic collages, all held down by adept production touches.

that you really need to start getting acquainted with if you want to push your understanding of disco beyond the usual canonical sources. 

There's no 'anthems' here which is to be applauded, rather these are songs and productions that are ferociously independent, directed at the dancefloor rather than the marketplace, and capture perfectly that tightrope-walk between drive/determination and despair/anxiety that makes the best disco such a still-uniquely-modern response to nightlife grind, not overburdened with an 'educational' impulse but absolutely revelatory at every turn, never losing sight of the main job of disco – to make people lose their shit on any dancefloor it's dropped on.

During the 1970s and 80s, the city of Boston and its environs produced some of the era’s most iconic music stars, from rock megaliths like Aerosmith and The Cars to disco and soul celebutantes Donna Summer, New Edition and Tavares. These artists emerged from Beantown’s thriving underground music scene to fnd global success, but what about the countless contemporaries who never made it beyond the local circuit? Native DJ, producer and bass player Serge Gamesbourg began digging in the crates for forgotten gems more than two decades ago; emerging in 2018 with his frst BBE compilation, lovingly titled Boston Goes Disco!

“I wanted to shed light on more obscure & unknown disco & boogie records outta Boston and the surrounding areas; basically small label and privately pressed late 70s and early 80s dance music from Massachusetts.” Turning detective as he began to track down many an obscure artist to license music for the album, Gamesbourg often found Boston’s legendary Berklee College of Music to be the common denominator for many bands throughout the years. “A lot of these cats came here real young to study from various parts of the country, met the other band members and wrote music and performed locally before fnishing their studies and moving on.”

With artwork paying homage to 80’s rap compilation “Boston Goes Def”, Boston Goes Disco! provides an exciting insight into the city during its most culturally fertile period, uncovering a rich musical history previously only known to those who were there.

Natalie Cole - Jump Start (Superfly Edit By Dj Black)

Richie Weeks has been very influential to me and no matter the few releases during the early 80's, Weeks & Co is a prime example of disco-synth, proto-boogie, electro-jam action. 
I tried bringing in some more drums ,percussion and effects to get a modern feel while preserve and extend the original groove. @  118 BPM.
