Over the 00`s, the decade of the new style disco forms, I`ve read and heard lots of “disco this, disco that” but the fact was that finding a good nudisco album became a real hard task. Maybe only a handful of artists could reach the level achieved by Chicken Lips in Echoman.
I`m not a specialist on the theme but I guess the union of some of the ideas of Andy Meecham and Dean Meredith made the avenue in which many artists have been walking through during 00`s. Some would say they are pioneers of the spaced-out dub nu disco.
I´d say that it`s like a combo of electro-dub influences glancing disco, perhaps.. Check out the original post where i find it at The Light Of The Night. The one behind that dark red pages knows the matter, few word that say everything. Once there, check the disco and funk tags, I guess you`ll find something cool.
A high profile between those seeking after house`s substyle Miami…opss, Texas…i mean Washington…ok! just kidding: it`s Detroit House!
THE GUY:
“With a style similar to Moodymann's take on Detroit tech-house as a melange of distorted disco-funk and boogie, Theo Parrish originally grew up in Chicago but moved to the Motor City by the time of his late-1996 Baby Steps EP on Elevate Records, a subsidiary of 7th City. From the EP, his Chicago tribute "Lake Shore Drive" later appeared on the Kenny Dixon/Moodymann release "Inspirations of a Small Black Church," and Parrish also worked on tracks by Rick Wilhite, Dewayne Davis and Norma Jean Bell. He continued through 1997 with singles for his own Sound Signature label plus Music 15 and Filth. In late 1998, Peacefrog released two Theo Parrish LPs, both of which were issued on CD as First Floor. Also a stellar DJ, Parrish is renowned around Detroit for his sets of downtempo jazz-funk and disco.” (ref.)
& HIS WORK:
“The first thing that strikes you is the space Theo allows his grooves, "Sweet Sticky" just sits an awesome electronic riff over a bass drum that rearranges buildings, before a classic disco loop edits percussive interest into the smothering rhythm. Then the bass moves and boy, you better be ready for the effects. "Love is War With Miles" could be an "In A Silent Way" for the 002, and you just know Miles dewey Davis would be talking with Theo on a higher sphere if he was still around. "Heal Yourself and Move" carries the flame direct from Larry Heard and sets off with it, determinedly to the horizon. Reviewing an album this good is easy, but if it doesn't convey how much you need this music in your life, then we haven't made ourselves clear - you need this.” (ref)
Anyway, I guess the cover art kind of translate something about the sounds there are inside.
I can`t say it`s deep house, I can`t say it`s a sort of minimal or tech, I can`t say wheter it`s downtempo or a chill shadow , I can`t it`s about jazz or gospel or soul but in a particular manner all the concepts seem meet.

Since I got in touch with the first volume of DISCO DEMANDS series throughFLAGEOLETTE, 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)
"2010 collection featuring the heaviest, rarest, best Fuzz-Funk-Psych 45s from Brazil! Following the success of the recently released Psych Funk 101, Brazilian Guitar, Fuzz Bananas should serve as a master class for those entranced by the funky, heavy psychedelic wonders of the Tropicalia movement and all that it spawned. Each song contained on this album has never been reissued, and has been restored from the best source possible and remastered for near-perfect sound quality. The 48 page full color booklet contains a wealth of imagery and detailed annotation and liner notes in both English and Portuguese."
The third and until now the last one release of Music for Dancefloor series, to the best of my knowledge. I found it at Cuchyfritos, so credits here aren`t mine.
If you`re the type long-time funk-hunting guy, then you might what is waiting for your. If your not that dude, go ahead and get it! But be cool, take sometime to update yourself here! (Vol.1 &2)
Needless to say, just good sounds in!
