dam-funk, to many, is a new name from the past year or two, but what we see and hear from him is a great deal more interesting than a new and emerging artist with a sound influenced from the golden era of electro-funk. he has been recording for himself for two decades, developing his work to his own taste, and using equipment like the korg m1, linn drum, and casio sk-1 since the days when many other musicians considered them novelty electronics rather than instruments.

with most people unlikely to ever own original copies of this revered library album, we are really excited to see this being put out on 45. surely this is libaek at his grooviest. two moody tracks from the holy grail >my thing< ->misty canyon< and >soul thing<. due to it featuring on many compilations most folks are familiar with the classic >misty canyon<. but dont forget about >soul thing< with its massive bass line, and wistful vibe solo from johnny sangster. interesting to note that the man responsible for the trombone work on both tracks is none other than bob mcivor from the charlie munro quartet. the print is limited to 500 copies

g.i.disco - an 80s history of cold war s hottest music in west-germany berlin local dj heroes kalle kuts and daniel w. best a.k.a. g.i.disco have compiled an excellent 80s soul, funk, r & b and disco selection. it combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the german historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by berlin based photographer frank thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. soul, funk and r&b from the us became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned disco. in the late 70s and 80s more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving it s soul untouched. although a global success story, it played an interesting role especially in the german experience. lp comes in gatefold sleeve.
