VA – Disco Demands Vol.4 (2009)

Since I got in touch with the first volume of DISCO DEMANDS series through FLAGEOLETTE, I never wondered if there were other releases following that debut.

Searching for the new disco “chapters” took me to 4th volume. So, here it comes! "A special compilation of the best rare disco music"!

Different from the first volume, but still compiled by Al Kent, this number seems to explore a deeper stage of disco music from raw underground club gems to chunky bassline disco.

Tracklist:
01. The Soul Stylists - Stylist Theme (7:27)
02. Louis Saunders - Spread Love All Over The World (6:55)
03. The Greg Staples Band - Groovin' With Mr Staples (6:25)
04. Patti Hamilton - Looking Nice Looking Hot (5:50)
05. Good Times - We've Got It (6:38)
06. Tommy Ellis - Gypsy (6:45)
07. Clarence & Leon - The Message (6:54)
08. Glen Bellamy & Co - Shake Shake Shake (8:15)
09. The Fuzz - Hustle Bustle (6:44)
10. THC - Funkin' With THC (5:49)

VA - Krem`s Kutz: A Kollection Of Hand-Picked Kutz (2010)

Hey up folks,

Most of blogs have lots of their own collections, bootlegs and mixtapes being the vast majority raw, lacking refinement (in my terribly poor opinion, as usual). Well, I won`t make anything different! Better requires time, tools and effort which I can`t buy in the store on the corner.

But I still thought it was time to deliver something alike here... And, probabilistically by chance (?!), I`ve got a reason to go for it. These dark pages have scored 2k visitors! It`s been such a fast run when I think about the first days AUDIOVISOR got lanched!

Just another poor work that takes a lil of me. I`ve made some minor cutting edits to make tracks flow better. I could`ve done it better, using some cheap tricks but (again) it would takes me time. Yet, I`m satisfied with the result! Hope you get too!

Kutz that comprise things listened over the last months, a jorney through the colours of soul/funk/brazillian/disco/house!! Kutz to enjoy alone (my case right now) or drinking with friendzzZZ, warm ups or... go ahead! take a listen and find the ocasion(s) it fits better!!

David Mancuso presents The Loft - Volume Two (2000)

Fast post, so words here aren`t mine:

"Unmixed compilation from David Mancuso, reflecting the eclectic music he played to friends during the mid to late seventies in his New York loft, helping to create the modern nightclub in the process. The CD's show why Mancuso enjoys legendary status within the dance community. The selection is superb, each track helps the next breathe, themes emerge. After hearing The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds following the closing rain effects from the final sixteen minutes of the Steve Miller band, other mixes and comps look like train wrecks."

VA – Discovered: A Collection Of Daft Funk Samples (2007)

Hi people,

Let`s keep the focus on Daft Punk!

It`s pretty known that a large body of the music produced in the last decades are not fully produced. I mean, people don`t get the instruments, start to play and that`s all - there is the music, especially in electronic music genres. No matter whether it`s a sample, a remix or an edit, one of the most common questions is “where this music comes from?”



For Daft Punk fanatics wondering about the origins of the French electronica duo's tunes, DISCOVERED solves the mystery, revealing the source material behind many of the act's catchiest melodies and most infectious rhythms.

This is a collection of the original tunes that shows us where Daft Punk took their original samples from. Listening to this disc will make your reassess the French duo's musical prowess. These 12 tracks lay down enough funked-up soul and disco to start your own 70s themed club night; an assortment of flavoured classics with enough hidden gems to keep us both interested and informed.

You can check good reviews out there. Click ### or §§§ to read more about it.

01. Breakwater – Release The Beast ("Robot Rock") (4:55)
