A great but overlooked bit of crossover funk from Chas Jankel – guitarist for Ian Dury & The Blockheads during the late 70s! We're pretty partial to the cut "Glad To Know You" – which is a wicked post-punk crossover tune – almost in the Human League mode, but with... read more

A great but overlooked bit of crossover funk from Chas Jankel – guitarist for Ian Dury & The Blockheads during the late 70s! The real standout here is the original version of "Ai No Corrida" – a track probably best remembered from Quincy Jones' Dude album, but sounding... read more

What can we say? Despite the stupid appearance of the band, "White Horse" was a classic breakdance/electro track that crossed over so big it had kids in Kansas running out to by parachute pants and squares of linoleum to play along with the kids in the Bronx. Despite that runaway hit... read more

"Le Spank" is probably the most successful track ever by this Rinder/Lewis side project – and for good reason, too! The cut's got a cool moogy groove that pops across the top nicely, a bit sparer than the rest of its disco contemporaries, and with a catchiness that's undeniable! ... read more

Sublime soul from Moment Of Truth – an incredible number from Salsoul's glory days! The tune's clubby, but it's also overflowing with soul – with male vocals on the lead, female backing harmonies, and a catchy hook that should have made this one a massive crossover cut! 8 minutes long... read more

Much funkier than most grooves we'd associate with the Montreal scene of the 70s – and a thinly-veiled disco remake of "Soul Finger", complete with strutting trumpet! The sound here is a lot more club based than the Bar-Kays original hit, and the tune also has chorus vocals –... read more
