donnell piman of love explosion & your love is dynamite returns to star creature for his second modern 7 on the hometown connection label. features production duties from wings of sunshine and japans liquid pegasus. both tracks are 120 bpm plus and both slap!

any disco dj worth their weight in vinyl knows the name donnell pitman, and until now this has been mostly due to his highly sought after work of the late 70s and early 80s. renewed interest in donnell has reached critical peak over the past few years, fueled by red greg’s feature of donnell’s seminal “love explosion” on joey negro’s under the influence vinyl compilation series and chicago’s numero group putting out long forgotten, unreleased boogie bangers “burning up” and “taste of honey” in 2015.
it was this refreshed enthusiasm that caught the attention of producer kumar mcmillian of chicago-based disco ensemble wings of sunshine. kumar’s group was looking for another vocal collaborator following their 7” debut release on star creature records. a casual introduction led to an informal studio session between the two culminating in a modern disco masterpiece.

although donnell pitman is championed in modern disco cliques for his infectious rarity *love explosion*, it was the unreleased masterpiece *burning up* that he brought aboard the chicago party in april of 1982. recorded at chicago s paragon studios, both the a-side and the exquisite flip *a taste of honey* were rescued from oblivion when a cassette master was discovered in the brief case of a former manager. both songs were written by jesus wayne a represent a high-water mark in the canon of chicago disco.

volume 7 of the “under the influence” series, compiled by winston.

double vinyl.
