1980s New York was where modern dance music took its first steps; a phoenix rising out of the ashes of disco's over-exposure and demise. The underground scene was the very opposite of the celebrity-sprinkled commercialism of Studio 54 Lofts & Garages looks at how the Spring label, with its brand new 1980s subsidiary Posse, reacted to the new movement. As an independent New York label, it was perfectly placed to understand new trends in the clubs; it worked with some of those who would go on to define the dance music of the era, and for a glorious summer tracked the important early work of Arthur Baker, Maurice Starr and Michael Jonzun. These began their careers with productions that included Ritz, Glory and Blaze records that sounded perfect for 12-inch singles and mixed electronic instruments with a real feel for the dancefloor. Label mainstays Fatback were always searching for a new groove and kept an eye on the floor. Their final single for the label, Spread Love, was remixed by Morales and Munzibai. Fatback's Bill Curtis and Gerry Thomas also produced the sought-after boogie single Get Up An Dance (Dance With Me) for Mynk. Others featured include one of the most distinctive voices in dance music, Fonda Rae, with her single Live It Up, released here in its rare radio edit; veteran soul man Lonnie Youngblood with his gospel-influenced Sing A Song; Detroit dance pioneers C-Brand's Wired For Sound and Body's Have Your Cake, which has an early mixing credit for dance music legend Timmy Regisford. These records may not have all worked on the floor of the Paradise Garage, but they were part of the energy that was given off by that and the rest of New York's vibrant post-disco era. Disc 1 1.

The premise of this game is simple to understand. I purchased it mainly to be a relaxing solo play game but it works equally well with others. Very satisfied with the purchase.
A slight variant on the traditional Victor von Doom figure, this Monster Hunters version is strikingly detailed and very tentacular! It's also currently available at an absolute bargain price.

Not the easiest record to source on vinyl but a real gem, received promptly, well packaged and in perfect condition.
Justin Adams is one of the unsung heroes among UK guitarists and cross-cultural ambassadors, committed to working with great musicians across West Africa, the Maghreb and southern Europe. On this record he joins the remarkable Mauro Durante of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino to showcase a UK/Puglia blend with a sharp political edge. The title track Still Moving bears witness to the trauma of refugees seeking shelter that few here can imagine and too few even care to think about.
Full credit to Justin Adams, a wonderful musician with a true grasp of what solidarity means. His world view crosses musical borders and calls for a better future for all humanity.
