ltd disco classic

another debut on basic fingers, this time we head over to japan and the mysterious kgo production team. the first edit is >six millions steps< by rahni harris, a well known soul drenched disco classic that has been slightly pitched down and infused with more boogie loveliness.
>something special< by donald byrd and the blackbyrds is both a pianists workout and a lovely jazz-disco track full of melodic character. kgos edit owes respect to the original and is a perennial favourite in the basic fingers camp.

repress - with vocal interplay recalling the temptations’ work with norman whitfield and a jazzy instrumental sophistication equal to the blackbyrds, 100% pure poison certainly deserve the notoriety that their lone recording has garnered them. as a group of american servicemen stationed in germany in the ’70s, it’s amazing that the album was recorded at all. leaving their base using a forged pass, the nine-piece group turned up at a music industry conference looking for a recording deal, and proving that the higher the risk involved, the greater the payoff, they got one with british emi.
although coming right at you was largely overlooked at the time of its release in 1974, it never really faded away, consistently being revived and heralded as much for its rarity as its quality. guitarist and group leader danny leakereturned home to chicago, where he has worked as an engineer and producer with a wide array of artists, including stevie wonder and janet jackson. coming right at you was made widely available again when it was finally reissued by u.k. label soul brother.

deluxe, will sessions’ debut lp of original material, contains tracks previously available as limited press 7- records, freshly remastered for a full length album. the album contains guest appearances from detroit legends allan barnes (blackbyrds) and amp fiddler (parliament/funkadelic), as well as florida’s own king of funk rickey calloway, and relative new-comer coko (funk night records). the album is a collection of singles reminiscent of classic funk and soul with deep breaks, tight rhythm section, blazing horns, and raw vocal performances.

musicalitys second release is a remake of the gil scott heron b-side *the klan*, featuring allan barnes formerly of the blackbyrds, and craig huckaby. the a-side has a wind and keys driven retro-funkiness, aided by latin percussion. kemeticjusts remix on the b glues everything together into a slightly faster house-tempo, increasing the propulsion, and likely causing lively dancing to break out. it was mixed by pirahnahead at united sound systems, and mastered by the legendary herb powers. musicality is the brainchild of producer/dj seth dedikate carter.

the cat is out of the bag as two greg wilson summer festival exclusives are unleashed on the expertly curated and highly collectable a&r edits dj imprint. its label favourite peza who is back at the editing block for this release, reworking walking in rhythm, the 1975 classic from the blackbyrds, into a contemporary dancefloor scorcher. its instant familiarity is swelled by peza s additional drums and percussion - his complementary instrumentation, played live over the original groove, updating this feel-good sensation. pure morning was pezas favourite placebo track and so the required amount of reverence was paid when he sharpened the razor to bring it right up to date for 2014, and provide greg with the opening track of his glastonbury trilogy this year. a full, percussive rework accentuates its anthemic reach and a well measured dose of filters and effects nudge this new arrangement to completion.

fantastic remastered reissue of the original solar sound 12 inch release of nightlife, a stone-cold rare groove classic from blackbyrds guitarist barney blair perry. an absolute gem of a record that has become one of the holy grails of the scene going for mega bucks on the rare occasions copies surface on ebay, discogs etc. recorded back in 1978, nightlife is simply stunning - with phat bass and a wonderfully soulful groove that never fails to ignite the dancefloor and superb guitar work from the masterful mr perry. if that wasnt enough, the flipside features the equally beautiful deep fusion sounds of >virgo princess<. quality music and an essential purchase
