this month we have what is the start of a string of previously unreleased bangers from the soul. funk and disco legend bobby boyd. we have been working on this for a long time and really proud to be working alongside bobby representing him. first up we have love goddess. a floaty driving disco soul number thats bound to get some spins by the northern boys as well as deep disco heads. i know its been doing this business when i play it. on the flip and classic horn driven funky soul in bobbys classic style and solid songwriting. essential. if your not a rare soul or disco collector bobby s name might not be a name your familiar with but as one of the founder members of lafayette afro rock band you will have experienced his music and influence which is far reaching.

second up on our bobby boyd unreleased recording we have some dope mid 80s material from bobby. “i like what you do to me” is boogie / proto house joint that is totally my bag. feels like it should be in a 80s movie weightlifting montage (in a good way) it just works on the dance floor so well.
on the flip things get even stronger with the proto-house banger “girl like you” a sick soulful number with with a biggest swinging kick drum i have ever heard. both proper club material.
