Atlantic Starr — Freak-A-Ristic (Spe­cial Dance Mix) (320 kbps)

Prob­a­bly among the best 12“s I’ve bought among the recent his­tory. Straight con­nec­tions to mod­ern R&B cuts like Justin Timberlake’s Love­stoned etc. I’d like to hear a mod­ern ver­sion of this. Dig it.

Paula Koivu­niemi — Sata Kesää, Tuhat Yötä (Edit) (320k)

With this edit I did just some minor “mod­ern­iza­tion” of the sound + lil some­thing else, fairly sim­ple stuff put together quickly dur­ing one sum­mer after­noon in 2008. Notice that “Sata Kesää, Tuhat Yötä” (“One Hun­dred Sum­mers, One Thou­sand Nights”) is a cover ver­sion of Claudja Barry’s “(Boo­gie Woo­gie) Dancin’ Shoes” which itself is a prime disco cut.

Sab­rina — Boys (Sum­mer­time Love) (Dub Ver­sion) (320 kbps)

The essen­tial nasty. The best 80’s boobs.

The Rah Band — Elec­tric Fling (320 kbps)

Fea­tured on the Slow Motion Disco vol.1, Elec­tric Fling was first released as 7″ in 1978. Behind the band was multi-instrumentalist / arranger Richard Hew­son who worked together with Her­bie Han­cock, Fleet­wood Mac, Diana Ross, Art Gar­funkel, Chris Rea and Al Stew­art to name a few. Some­what skweeeish track imho.

Btw. There’s an ongo­ing cam­paign at Funky Town Grooves. Head there for huge may sale and grab a few cd’s. These remas­tered albums are nor­mally quite pricey (13€ and more) so 3.49£ is a bargain.

The World Class Wreckin’ Cru — Turn Off The Lights (320 kbps) (re-up)

The same year Dre’s N.W.A. deliv­ered the album that defined gangsta rap came this slow electro-ballad that reached the R&B top 40 charts. Here Dre states him­self as ”…The mas­ter of seduc­tion…“

Yeah, and later Mas­ter P sam­pled this track for his song Ice Cream Man.
