editions disco - rubber band aka the trammps
August 6th, 2007
The Trammps, based in Philadelphia are remembered as a disco band. Often seen as part of the disco overground, most likely a result of ‘Disco Inferno’ being included on the massively popular Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in 1977.
In the same year the Trammps released the song ‘The Night the Lights Went Out’ to commemorate the electrical blackout that affected New York on 13 July 1977. This song was housed-up by the Black Science Orchestra, as the basis for their debut single ‘Where Were You’ released on Junior Boy’s Own.
Prior to their disco fame the Trammps released Rubber Band as a single in 1973 on Buddah a real soul gem that has featured on more than one occassion in modern hip-hop.
It was sampled as the basis for the Game’s release ‘Hate It Or Love It’ getting re-worked & chopped-up by the legendary production team of Cool & Dr.Dre. J Dilla (rip) used it for ‘Dilla Says Go’ from Donuts.
Yet another re-working here we have the editions disco edit of rubber band. a real fave at love unlimited towers.
night trains - miles away
August 6th, 2007
Hugh Brooker’s Night Trains were signed to Acid Jazz & BGP Beat Goes Public.
Many of their releases had hip-hop leanings featuring cartoon cut-ups, breaks, cinema samples & scratching.
Here is Miles Away taken from the Checkmate LP released on BGP - a track constructed from a trumpet solo (Miles) and some programming - simple & effective.
dread flimstone - from the ghetto
July 29th, 2007
Over the years licensing deals between record labels have thrown-up some tasty results.
When Eddie Pillar & Acid Jazz hooked up with LA based label Delicious Vinyl the brand new heavies benefited from heavy US promotion & dj remixes - check the lunar dub & eclipse mixes of stay this way by Dave Morales.
Eddie got the likes of Skate Master Tate & Dread Flimstone - from the early 90’s bass-heavy party business…revival pressure
The Aloof - Never Get Out of the Boat
July 27th, 2007
What with all the Biblical rain this month there is always the temptation to post Date with the Rain, but instead here we have the slow groover Never Get Out the Boat by the Aloof released in 1991.
So many samples on this including snippets from Apocolypse Now, Tribal chants, Dylan the Rabbitt from the Magic Roundabout & Eric Thompson, but don’t let this put you off.
Is it balearic?
Joes Jam - Skatemaster Tate
July 27th, 2007
Hailing from LA Skatemaster Tate was a TV presenter, skater & DJ. This is a rolling funk instrumental that echoes the JB’s jamming in the studio complete with lazy horn riffs and sharp keys.
Sounding good again, 17 years after its original release.
Gloria Scott - What am I Gonna Do
July 27th, 2007
Produced by Barry White and released in 1974 on Casablanca records - sweet soul music. Gloria only ever made one LP and it is well worth seeking out.
