So Ernie Isley, Chris Jasper, and Mar­vin Isley really made a proper song to fin­ish a good night of dj’ing. And yes, they’re of Isley Broth­ers fame. There were some cre­ative dif­fer­ences within that super­group which led to form­ing of Isley Jasper Isley in 1984.

+ I love handclaps.

THANKS HENKKA FOR THIS!!! Didn’t have a clue that Ryuichi had also done some new jack swingish tunes. Immense.

The dark­est day of year, today.

Zodiac — “Zodiac“

Zodiac — “Pacific“

A Lat­vian Rock-group from the era of Soviet Union. These two tunes are from their first release “Disco Alliance” LP which was appar­ently sold out imme­di­ately every­where in the (ex) U.S.S.R. In other words — it was “a huge release” in its day. 1980 that is. These words describe the whole album quite well: maybe bit psy­che­delic & slightly pro­gres­sive cin­e­matic groov­ing rock + deli­cious synths.

I guess it’s pos­si­ble and totally ok to rec­om­mend this book even though I myself haven’t even read it yet. It’s about V-O-C-O-D-E-R-S ->
