Beyond doubt, Philly Disco was elemental for the development of dance music as we know and love it today. Now, for the first time ever, there is a comprehensive compilation to document the birth of Disco in Philadelphia and the work of the unsung musicians who played on the numerous timeless classics we all admire so much. Think of legendary names such as Gamble & Huff (producers), Tom Moulton (remixer), Earl Young (founder of The Trammps and creator of the 4/4 Disco drum pattern) - and of course the artists: Harold Melvin & Blue Notes, The Trammps, Teddy Pendergrass, Eddie Kendricks, Philly Devotions, Carl Bean, John Davis... This project is presented by Dimitri from Paris who has selected fourteen exemplary songs from the Philly Disco era for the first CD, while the second CD includes exclusive remixes and edits he created especially for this project. An essential purchase that is also available on deluxe limited double-vinyl's including bonus material. |

Picks of the Week
Ferry Ultra featuring Ann Sexton "Rising up" (Peppermint Jam Records CD Promo)
 |
Ferry Ultra teams up with soul legend Ann Sexton to present "Rising up", the follow up to last years gorgeous "Let me do my thang" (which featured another legend - Gwen McCrae). The feel good "Rising up" is an old skool styled soul-funk masterpiece in its original form, taken to deepest mesmeric tech-soul grounds by AtJazz. Soul Minority turn the track into a luscious late night house favorite, while Trancemicsoul's laidback interpretation oozes with sweet percussion, sounds of the sea and glorious melodies. |
