The Chi-Lites – ‘Give Me What You’ve Got’

The Chi-Lites - Steppin Out 1984 copy

Another absurd vinyl rip from the Chi-Lites. Give me what you’ve got.


Change – ‘The End’

Change-The-Glow-Of-Love-523700

The Italo half of Change shining through here, minus Luther Vandross’ vocals. This album has to many hits to choose from so I went for the lesser known ‘The End.’  The cover is exceptional.


Ca$h Flow – Party Freak (Latin Rascal Edit)

cashflow-mine-all-mine-club

Another 12″ rip here. The bassline’s just silly on this one….

“The core philosophy is based on true musicianship and elevating the eternal relationship between music, emotion and people. 

Gaylord Parsons, James Duffie and Max Spaulding developed their musical chops in the combat zone of the most respected funk R’N'B clubs of Atlanta GA. Using a commando style work ethic of eight hour a day rehearsals and gigs four days a week.”

I highly recommend Ca$hflow’s website. No joke…


Orlando Johnson & Trance – ‘Turn The Music On’

Theodore DeReese “Teddy” Pendergrass

51d+x1+UArL

Teddy Pendergrass requires little or no introduction. Rather than lifting everyone else’s text,  those that don’t know and want to know check his life story here. It is well worth glancing over and it is not without tradegy.

Rather than focus on his story I thought it would be appropriate just to share three personal favourite tracks from the man himself.

The first two ‘Only You’ & ‘Take Me In Your Arms Tonight’ are sure fire Disco heaters.  ‘Joy’ comes few years later on a New Jack Swing tip..
