LATIN "BOOGALOO" BALLADS 1960s-1970s (For a Friend)

welcome to DELIRIOUS MUSIC!

join and listen to some of the most exclusive international funk music from the 70s ever pressed on vinyl. painfully selected and play tested funky club sounds that work as background music as well as on the dancefloor. lots of worldwide sought after funky burners, weird 'b-music' recordings and undiscovered breakbeats from the pop & rock underground, many of them micro pressed and originally available only in the country of origin.   

the term "FUNK" has millions of shades, yet my collecting drive is focused on japanese jazz rock, european grooves and latin funk from the middle & south american scene, obscure 45 b-sides, cosmic disco, progressive breaks, all kind of exploitation soundtracks and non-commercial library production music recorded for use in film, radio and tv only.   

as you can hear all my vinyls are recorded & remastered in highest digital sound quality for your full stereo enjoyment!  there's a lot of unknown quality 70s music to be discoverd here, something for everyone and my hope is u regularly come back for more to find new funky food for your ears. 

peace to all, 
EL TOPO

  i got my p.h.d. in f.u.n.k.-ology !!!

 'the only good music is the music i like'

ØCTUPØNE (Frank Rübcke) 

The man, the myth, and his musical moods A true connaisseur and a timeless collector of grooves with an eclectic and encyclopedic (maybe even biblical) knowledge, the DJ known as Octupone has been creating his melting pot of sounds and textures with his emotionally charged sets for over three decades. Drawing on everything from deep and soulful house through R&B to Disco. 

Eclectic melting pot of sounds and textures drawing on everything from deep and soulful house through to african and oriental. Folktronica. Minimal Cumbia. Andean Step. Tropical Bass. Global Spirit. Keta-Pop. Bummeltechno. Basso Nova. Macarena Dub. Slowhouse (aka "Slouse"). Slothdisco (!). Uplifting Downtempo. Spiritual House. Chill Rave. Aya Tech. Dessert House. Indie Sun. Acoustic Funk.

Octupone has spun his web of wicked tunes all over the world and then some: from the Soulkitchen or the Golden Pudel Club in his original hometown of Hamburg to the Bar Tausend, Jackie O or at the Party for the ECHO (Germany’s Grammys) in Berlin, from Rio de Janeiro via Tulum or Paris on to Mykonos or Hong Kong. Currently residing as DJ and Music Consultant and Supervisor at La Granja IBIZA, he rarely repeats and never ceases to amaze.
