Tru Tones - Dancing (1980)

Thelma Houston - I Don't Know Why I Love You (Janefondas & Anemona Edit)

Taken from 'The Men In The Glass Booth'; a new compilation charting the history of the first DJs to enter the recording studio during disco's heyday. Buy or stream the album here: https://BBEmusic.lnk.to/MITGB

In May 1976 a record was released that would have an unforeseen and lasting impact on the music industry “Ten Percent” by Double Exposure was an early release on the New York independent label Salsoul Records. America was in the grip of a disco explosion with new clubs opening on a weekly basis; Salsoul saw what was happening and swiftly created a sound for their label, heavily influenced by the music then coming out of Philadelphia, aimed directly at New York’s dance-floors. Records like “Salsoul Hustle,” “Tangerine” and “You’re Just The Right Size” by The Salsoul Orchestra borrowed heavily from the beautifully orchestrated Philadelphia International records but added a more percussive, bass heavy depth that New York’s DJs loved.
So what was so special about this particular single then? Double Exposure was, after all, just another band, “Ten Percent” just another song; one of many “disco” records released that week. First of all Salsoul became the first record label to make a twelve inch single available to Joe Public - the exotic format was previously only available to DJs as promotional items or bought under the counter at certain record stores. Not only that though, the extended version was created by Walter Gibbons, a DJ at New York’s Galaxy 21 who’d built his reputation making exclusive versions of tracks to play in his sets.
In 1976 it was unheard of for a DJ to set foot in a recording studio, being seen as little more than living jukeboxes by the serious music industry. Recording studios were strictly the domain of recording artists and producers so Walter found himself in a unique position, gaining access to a world no DJ had been granted before.
Or so we thought...

The Men In The Glass Booth

Skip Mahoney - Janice (Don't Be So Blind To Love) (Bobby DJ Guttadaro Remix)

The Toy Tonics crew is known for being addicted to two things: vintage music machines and old vinyl. 100% music aficionados. On the „Tonic Edits“ series the crew shares some of their favorite old tracks - in a reworked version. 
This time COEO get back in time. They destroyed a couple of 1970ies disco jams. Recut & repasted them. And gave them their special COEO touch. Of course it’s irresistible! 
This release comes on vinyl only first. Later maybe could be out on selected Digital sellers.. not sure yet.

Alonzo Turner - Whoever Said It (Niles Cooper's Sunrise Miks)

Not only is mike "father of the year", but he also has records. Deep crates, as they say. MIKE FEEL LOVE will keep the chin scratchers at bay for a while, seeing as the original cover has zero internet presence. It will also keep the dancers happy. A scrappy little edit keeping the sloppy instrumentation in tact, because it's the best part of the song. Drums fall out of time, or drop out altogether. The synth arps fall out of synch which makes you wonder if that's an arpeggiator, or some maniac playing live. The other side is a very old edit Mike dusted off and is guaranteed to make the chin scratchers take a bathroom break- seeing as it is a top 40 hit from the 70s. Which doesn't mean it's not a burner.

Mike Simonetti - Midnight Or Late Afternoon  [2MR-024]

Having never received a full 1979 retail release in the USA (or any release at all in the UK), the US promo 12" (7:01 mins) of "Shining" by Venus Dodson continues to fetch considerable sums from collectors in 2017. "Shining" was a staple Paradise Garage banger and is surely one of the finest Leroy Burgess penned tracks to come from the peak years of disco. In the interests of restoring historical balance, Kinfine now presents a remastered, limited press, replica 12". Cut with love at 45rpm to ensure a higher audio resolution (than the hard-to-find original). Initial copies include a reproduction press-release card. Remastered from source. No represses. Out now!

A: "Shining" (7:01)

B: "He Said, She Said" (6:18)

PREMIERE: C. Da Afro - Brazilian Groove [Samosa Records]

After more than two years, trying to find the right tracks and the right edits with the artist, we are finally proud to present our first 12” release on Mister T. records.
This EP contains 3 amazing disco edits by talented French producer Chevals (@chevalsmusic) which aim to represent the various emotions coming out of electronic dance music.
On the A side, MTT001 opens with a powerful disco banger. Crafted to smash clubs and crowded dancefloors, Everybody Dance (A1) truly is a party anthem tailored for party’s peak time.
The first track on the B side starts with a refined and regular rhythm which gives an old electronic -almost rockish- atmosphere to the track. After a tense break, Sweet Dubnamite (B1) sharply burst into a cataclysm of funky synths. Finally, Brown Baby (B2) is the slower tune of the vinyl and gives room to soulful vocals and deep keys.

MTT001 is available on bandcamp & discogs: https://mistertedits.bandcamp.com/album/mtt001-disco-edits
