Fonzi Thornton's "I Work For a Livin" from Soup For One O.S.T!

Fonzi Thornton - I Work For a Livin'

King Tutt - You Got Me Hung Up

This collection of underground dance music covers tracks released between 1975 and 1983 from both sides of the Atlantic. The tracks chosen for this compilation introduce some of the pioneering few who expanded the horizons of disco to incorporate elements of dub, funk, electro, jazz and Latin. In some ways many of the artists featured here foresaw the birth of successive musical genres. There is no disputing that they were all well ahead of their time and with the recent trend of similarly inspired house they sound as fresh today as they did then.

The music chosen for this album were the underground classics that made the scene what it was in the heady of days of the Paradise Garage and the Loft in NYC and the Warehouse in Chicago where DJs such as Arthur Baker and Francois Kervorkian could be heard spinning such tracks.

On disc two (CD version only) Masters at Work add their touches to one of their favourite tracks while Harvey and Underdog take on the Disco Dub band and come up with two very different interpretations which will work on today’s dancefloors.

Following on from the success of the debut release on his own TNC imprint, a slow burner rapturously received by a host of DJs from The Black Madonna to Fatboy Slim and Artwork, Lemmy Ashton finally returns to the pressing plant for a second installment, delivering another trio of irresistible underground anthems that shoot for maximum dancefloor fulfillment. 

Silver Suitcase is a sprawling, disco informed and refreshingly unpretentious odyssey, holding the tension and staying respectably fabulous over nearly ten minutes of Paradise Garage guitar licks, ricocheting toms and teasing breakdowns that speak directly of the London DJs well known love of vintage filter house. Quite simply, there are no Braxe to be put on this jam.

As comfortable in the role of 808 provocateur as feel good disco king, Lunaire gives the EP its name and bristling centrepiece, via. a raw, acid flecked jam. An expertly executed hardware trip, it will chime gleefully true with those who have had the pleasure of experiencing Ashton's surprisingly sleazy, willfully hedonistic streak, one honed in sweat drenched late night discoteques scattered across London.

On the flip and ably rounding off this succinct, three track excursion, Amsterdam pays tribute to Europe's crate digging capital with a rolling jam that blends an utterly infectious bassline with a capochanony of cinematic samples. Each delivers a short, sharp burst of tongue in cheek dance floor drama, all atop a rhythm you could ride for days. 

Upfront, underground and ever so slightly OTT, The Lunaire EP is the sound of a DJ and producer rooted in the booth, hooked on the studio and utterly determined to make you move. Po faces need not apply. All credit to the dancers.
