Reggae Disco Pt. 2

As I am still away enjoying the easter break, this will be a quick update.

A couple more tracks from the Reggae Disco comp...enjoy!

Family Choice-Reggae Beat Goes On
Xanadu & Sweet Lady-Rapper's Delight

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)

The Greatest Hit

Apologies for the quick post today, will be getting more up as the week goes on.

'The Greatest Hit' is a tune that sounds like it should have been made by Larry Levan or some other old disco guy, however it only came out in 2000. Perhaps its the cheeky Madonna sample but I can always find room for this in my disco sets. Here is the extended disco mix, dub and acapella so all you DJ's have no excuse but to do something great with it!

George Extended

'Give me the night' is a party/club/warmup staple that has pretty much never left my box. Here is a quick re-edit that I did to make it that bit easier to mix in and out of. George Benson-Give Me The Night (Rascale Extended Mix)

Where did they get that from?

House music has a long established tradition of sampling disco tunes. Anyone that knows me knows that I love old disco, so here are some choice cuts that have been sampled to great effect.

First up is this tune, which provided the memorable bass line (and therefor the whole tune) to Gusto's 'Disco's Revenge'

Harvey Mason-Groovin' You

Next a tune that saw Duane Harden (that dude that sang on that Armand Van Heldon track) telling someone he'd got what they had been looking for

Thelma Houston-I'm Here Again

Finally, Kid Creme used this tune to great effect for 'Austin's Groove'. All together now: 'We have the technology...we can rebuild him...stronger...better...faster....'

Sparkle-Handsome Man (Larry Levan Mix)
