Barbara Roy – Gotta See You Tonight

WOW completely forgot about this track, absolute gold. Thanks to the Disco Bloodbath for including the dub in their BIS mix to refresh my memory.

Forgotten track produced by the legendary Paul Simpson. Very much in the same style as his more well known productions “Treat Her Sweeter” and “You Don’t Know”. The sound is very Larry Levan with a FAT monster bassline that hooks you straight away, the power female vocals can put some people off but happily there is a dub version available. If you like the vocal sound of the Paradise Garage around this time, then definitely worth checking out! – as Another_Swede put it.

Ms. Sharon Ridley – Changin’ [Bootleg Re-edit]

club09_g

Have been holding these for a while, but thought it would be fitting to post them on remembrance day.  There was no official 12″ release but the song found it’s way onto many important dj playlists especially those who embraced the sleaze, morning music genre such as Larry Levan, Lary Sanders. Here are some remasters straight from the Bootlegs.

Also here is a fantastic Larry Levan mix from 1985, notice the diverse playlist and the unique cutting of tracks a rare feat these days through djs who merely beat-match and rarly experiment on vinyl without ’stabilisers’ like serato or traktor. The art of a dj is slowly die-ing out, anyone can beatmatch,  only  few can select or were born with two 1210’s as hands like Levan!
