Ronnie Foster - On The Avenue (Rare Funk Edit)

[Nordic Lounge Vol.1] 01. Hird - Keep Your Hird

Voodoocuts kicks off the single with his stunning edit of "Soweto Disco". The original is already extremely infectious and energetic, with a grooving bass, opulent horn sections, wild organ parts and a relaxed reggae vibe. But Voodoocut manages to give the song an extra kick with his skillful rearrangement, drumming and the addition of loops, filters, effects and samples. The edit effortlessly takes the song into the present to deliver a killer cut for the dancefloor.

The Movers - Soweto Disco (Voodoocuts Edit)

"Happiness" by Blank & Jones
Lead vocal : Cathy Battistessa
Tenor Sax : KoolSax

Blank & Jones feat KoolSax - Happiness

Unearthed from the vaults of the North Pole, this “lost” disco/boogie record from 1977 finally sees the light of day. Elf Waves is a funky, glitter-soaked side project from the world of Christopher Kringle — a time when elves traded sleigh bells for sequins and rode the groove straight through Studio 54.

Thought forgotten for decades, the Lost Boogie Record captures the spirit of a hidden era: when the Kringle universe collided with the golden age of disco. Play it loud, dance like an elf, and relive the North Pole’s best-kept secret. This album will make more sense after Book #9 is released. There is a reason this album has never been seen by the public.

Marlena Shaw - Woman Of The Ghetto (Lego ReFunk)


Format: Download | Releasedate: 15.04.2016

The successor to Stee Downes' 2008 debut „All In A Day“ has been in the making for quite some time now. The anticipation couldn't be bigger therefore on the second album “The Bigger Picture”, which will finally see the light of day in July. To fuel these expectations even further Sonar Kollektiv releases a preliminary EP featuring three tracks to be found on “The Bigger Picture”.

Already with “Big Mistake” you can sense why it took Downes so long to bear his sophomore full-length set. The man doesn't want to tie himself down to just one single style of expression, but aims for a greater goal, to make the world a better place with songs so powerful and life-affirming nobody can't escape their magic. There's funk in it, lots of soul of course but also this kind of infectious pop appeal which leads – under normal circumstances – to the big, worldwide breakthrough. “Always On My Mind” orientates itself by the productions and collaborations Downes' fame and reputation has been built on over the last few years. You can call it soulful house music for grown-ups, if you need a label to it. And the third song off this optimism spreading EP, “All Over The World”, is another jaw-dropper, a true anthem of life, love and of course music. If the other songs from “The Bigger Picture” are only roughly as good as these three teasers, one can look forward to one the best albums of 2016.

In late 2015 FSQ got a first listen to the new Crew Love album "Based on a True Story" and we were already in love with two tracks from that - "Unprotected Ex" and "Smokers Delight". 

We had the idea of getting with Bobby Eli, guitarist from Philadelphia International Records / Sigma Sound to do a real extended medley disco mix like Tom Moulton would do. Tom Moulton is the first producer to string together multiple songs on a LP in a non stop continuous disco mix - he first did this with Gloria Gaynor and then Grace Jones.  

Bobby is a friend of Nona Hendryx, and she said he should be our go to do guitar on the mix. He worked with Tom Moulton a lot on that real Philly sound. Both FSQ's One Era and Chuck Da Fonk are from Philly and have a real love for the lush disco sounds, replete with full orchestral string sections. 

One Era and Chuck put together a 9 minute backing track that mashed up "Unprotected Ex" and "Smokers Delight" to give to Bobby Eli. The work on this with Bobby didn't materialize, so we turned to FSQ's GKoop, to add strings to our extended mix. 

So about the time we went to cut strings with GKoop, we started to get to listen to the upcoming, and now released Soul Clap self titled album. We thought to take the Tom Moulton mix idea a bit further into the eighties, when popular new wave artists would offer a not just a continuous LP mix, but a full 12" mix of a medley of songs. 

Using new sampling technology, making medley mixes became easier in the nineteen eighties - you could cut up small snippets of your catalog, sample them and place them in with drum machines.

Hip Hop producer Steinski did this kind of work with Double Dee in a series of hip hop greatest hit medleys that were known as "The Lesson". 

Even Duran Duran got in the action - their medley 12" was called "Decadance". Our favorite 12" medley is by Yello. The swiss electronic funk group turned in two 12" mixes compiling highlights from their catalog titled "The Metropolitan Mixdown I and II". 

GKoop and Chuck Da Fonk went to work to make this mix into an 80s styled medley extended mix, assembling components of the new Soul Clap album into the Crew Love extended track they had started on. 

First GKoop brought in Bay Area drummer and rapper OMAYGA to add some intricate disco styled drums to the track. OMAYGA last worked with FSQ on their remix for Navid Izadi's "Hard to Say". 

Then over the new disco beat, GKoop laid into the tracks from the new Soul Clap album and did a lot of heavy lifting to figure out what could go where in our extended mix. 

Together we added a lot of new bass work and transitions to come up with the layout for the track, which we now called "Ex Smokers (The FSQ Suite)" to reflect the original mash up of "Smokers Delight" and "Unprotected Ex".

Bay Area based Shaina Evoniuk, who leads the string section for the renowned Jazz Mafia, and New York based Benjamin Wright, who writes music for LouisCK TV program among other television work, finally got on the track. Shaina and Benjamin provided the disco strings that we were craving to tie segments of the megamix together. 

After a year of production work, FSQ is proud to present to you the twelve minute and thirty second suite, "Ex Smokers" with Soul Clap featuring Crew Love.
