Reggae Disco

On a completely different tip from the stuff I have been posting so far, last night I got round to ripping these gems. Taken from the album Hustle! Reggae Disco, they do exactly that: reggae versions of disco (and to be honest funk,pop and hip hop) tunes. Here are 2 of the standouts.
Blood Sisters-Ring My Bell
Derrick Laro & Trinity-Don't Stop Till You Get Enough

Go Find A Request

Apologies, for I am going to have to deviate from my 320/vinyl rip policy for this one. I have had a request for Go by Common. A great track which saw Common return to form after what I personally found to be a disappointing album in 'Electric Circus' (albeit one with a couple of stand out tracks).
Common-Go
Also here is a mixtape track by Goapele that uses the same instrumental, so you can look like the great DJ easily mixing between the two!
Goapele-Go Find A Way





Keepin The Faith


I have always loved this De La Soul track, in particular the way it used major bits of 'Over Like A Fat Rat'. So I saved up my hard earned and bought a copy....only to find it was not the version I was looking for...'What is this Bob Marley/Slave sample they are using?' I said to myself. So I bought a copy of 'The Best Of De La Soul'...surely this will have one of their stand out tracks on it? BUT NO! Same wrong version again. Finally though I have tracked it down and I now share it with you:
De La Soul-Keepin The Faith (Straight Pass)
