Happy Days Volume 1-4



Not everyone that reads my blog is a heavy crate digger/vinyl collector, so for the rest of you party freaks and music lovers, Dave Jarvis and Terry Farley (those pesky kids behind Moton Records) put together a great group of CD releases of remastered Disco & Funk cuts called Happy Days, Volumes 1-4 on Sony Music. Cheryl Lynn, George Duke, MFSB, Tamiko Jones and Bill WIthers are just some of the artists gracing these comps with a chock full of classic DJ spins.

LE STIM- A Tribute to Muhammad Ali (We crown the king)



Probably the best of all records that fall under the sub genre of boxing related Disco jams!

ALI AND HIS GANG VS MR. TOOTH DECAY



Gots to love this Ali cut! Look out Tooth Decay, Ali is coming after you!

The Sunburst Band 'The Easton Assassin' (King 1982)



More Boxing related jams! Apparently this was used as a promotional tool when he was training for fights, post fight give aways etc.

There is a great documentary about Larry Holmes, the man who took the belt from Ali, and all the controversy that surrounded the fight, as well as the almost negative effect it had on Larry's life.

Laytonya Ali - Ali shuffle



After watching the Manny Pacquiao fight this weekend, I thought it would be fun to post a great boxing related Disco jam. There are more to come...

Buari-Advice From Father



Classic African Disco Funk from this great LP. Worth seeking out if you don't have it.

Jeff Perry - Love' Don't Come No Stronger



"We don't need a lot of materialistic things, to make our lives seem right"

Great video of Jeff doing it up on Soul Train.

Charnissa - When can we do this again



I'm on a slow jam kick right now. Perfect for late night closer moments at Love Fixation, letting the dudes and dudettes seal the deal.

Bobby WIlson "Deeper and Deeper"



"and this hunger is getting stronger, it just won't let me be..."

Serious soul, this guy has a Love Fixation!

Solaris - You and Me



Nice soul tune which is a bit easier to find on 7", but still worth tracking down the whole LP, as the LP has some great cuts for the dance floor too.

Love Fixation w Special Guest Joseph Colbourne - Saturday November 20th



Hot on the heels of our amazing guest DJ JBX, comes Joseph Colbourne making a special trip down from Boston for this special gig! Expect basement vibes, deeper shades of Disco, Boogie and serious Soul music for the floor.

Mandre Solar Flight - A Loft Classic



One of the first Loft classics that I needed to track down. This one officially blew my mind, I remember thinking that I never knew Dance music could sound like this.
