Electro-Schland-Rap with female vocals. Not for B-Boys or B-Girls, sadly too jagged out rhythm and rhymes, combined with some sax...but hey, the cover, come on!

Aaron Broomfield - I'm gonna miss ya (Poly Rythums)
I know this one's an old hat... but whenever i feel lost in the world of (temporary) monster-indemanders, impossible to finds, real winners, new-discoveries, hard-to-gets become easy finds, rich tracks, poor tracks and hyper-classics i come back to Aaron to take a rest and meditate. This one is a rock that definately has maintained. AUUUM!

Lithuanian Punks, Elektrenai, 1988
journalist will be J
J: what is a family?
J: is it so hard to answer this question?
girl: of course
J: how do you think, is family something that is needed at all?
guy1: i wouldn't say so.
J: why do you say so?
guy1: well... all sorts of scandals occur, for very unimportant things,
guy2: the worst is when a wife wants crystal, and you don't want it.
guy1: for example i really don't like gold
j:why?
guy1: i don't like it, it costs too much
guy3: metal (but he ment iron) is way better
J: so now your married for three months now, did you have any conflicts?
girl: no, we had some before the wedding.
J: why so? What were those conflicts about?
girl: for very small things.
J: does material welfare have a big role towards family's harmony, wellbeing?
guy2: it depends, those who want to live well (as in, be rich) does have some importance, but if want to live normally, it doesn't have any importance as long as wife and a husband get along well.
guy1: well if they don't need money but need love, it won't have any influence.
guy3: i agree with "Screw's" (nickname of guy1) opinion.
Contact - Big Fun (Instrumental)
Instrumental version of this electric jam with a very funky synth- and pianoline. The drumpattern reminds me a bit of Indeep's - When boys talk, which came in 1983... Great for starting the clubnight!
Warner - Live and Learn
Superb UK-Boogie with that special kind of swing in it. Always makes me feel-good. Well-known, but hard to find platter.

The Big Breakdance Contest
The Big Break Dance Contest Live at the Roxy 1983 Full Video! This is
the complete historical performance remastered from the original VHS
recordings it was taped to. It's over 21 minutes of ground breaking
live footage featuring 1983 B-Boy crews, the Magnificent Force, Uptown
Express, the Fantastic Duo, the Flash Dancers, Larry Watson and Jason
Twigg, the Heartbreakers, and the Dynamic Breakers. This B-Boy contest
was hosted by Leslie Uggams, co-hosted by Carlos De Jesus, and includes
celebrity judges Anita Morris, football great Hershel Walker, All My
Childrens' Debbie Morgan and Darnell Williams, Earl 'the Pearl' Monroe,
Disco Fever Owner Sal Abbatiello, WABC News Anchor John Johnson,
Saturday Night Fever and Beat Street Choreographer Lester Wilson, and
artist Lillo Thomas. Also features a short introductory documentary on
the early Hip Hop culture featuring interviews with Afrika Bambaataa and
other members of the Zulu Nation. On top of all that it includes a
1983 Burger King Hip Hop commercial from the airing, which was
purposefully included to complete the throw-back vibe. The winners of
the contest received $2500, an appearance on New York Hot Tracks, and a
key roll in the movie Beat Street. If you know the movie, you know who
won the contest! Enjoy!
The Disco Baby Band - Love me baby
Feel-good disco, not too bad, not too strong. No. 1 in France! Written by Copperman, M. Wickfield, P. Forest, P. Racer. who are partly resonsible for the early Sheila & B. Devotion and Black Jack works. Copperman can be found for the super-classic Moon-Birds - Cosmos No1. I know, "Oh my munich" sounds more interesting, but that one is the cheese, although Alistar from Sarr Band's
–
Magic Mandrake is involved.
Sons of Robin Stone – I Need It Bad (Club Mix)
Classy dancer that deserves some attention. The Club Mix is shorter than the Radio Version on the flip side... quite unusual...
Herois do Mar - Amor (Versao Nocturna)
Powerful new-wavein' disco from Portugal which is flaming my skin. Super arrangement, great horns and a killing video. For sure more effective at highest sound volume. Here we have the trippin' out Versao Nocturna for ya. More synths, less vocals, enough space....

QX-1 – Love Injection (Inject Me Love Mixx) (1991)
QX-1 is an alias of Mike Dunn, who is undoubtedly one of the most prolific and influental producers of Chicago's House Music generation. Having a vast number of classic productions under his belt, this one here is no exception as it's another precious effort by the Chicago native. Love Injection is pure Deep House in the true sense of the word. Hypnotic basslines, moody strings and some scatty vocals, Mike Dunn is simply pushing the right keys!

Burrell Brothers - Music Video Bootleg - I Really Like 1988
Before releasing raw and soulful house tunes on the label Nu Groove Records our two favorite producers, the beautiful Brothers Rheji & Rhano Burrell actually aspired a major career on Virgin Records. It was rather short dated. Under the band name Burrell they released one LP and three singles.
I just found this music video on Youtube. Apparently it was uploaded by Rheji himself. It is a bootleg music video for their 1988 single "I Really Like". Musically this song is definitely less interesting than most of their Nu Groove releases, but you can see things that you do not hear in their music, that they are good dancers and that they have great style of clothing.

Stratus Dance Club
Stratus Dance Club was the premier alcohol-free young adult nightclub in Southern California from 1978 to 1987. Located in Casa de Oro—the foothills of Mt. Helix , Stratus catered to high-school and college students from San Diego County to as far north as Los Angeles.
Let's have a look at the dope performance of PAR-TAY!!!
...or the super funny Prince, Morris Day & Vanity 6 Look-alike Contest
The Starz of Tomorro - Let's have a Party
Poppish breakdance-rap on the german Woolfe Records, produced by Wolfang Freund. Makes fun, especially the bandname. Seems to be a a guest-play with US Artists. If you know more about it, please let me know!Jeff Mills a.k.a. The Wizard – WJLB Detroit Radio-Tapes 1986 – 1989
'In the 1980s, Mills was an influential radio DJ on WJLB under the pseudonym “The Wizard.” Mills’ sets were a highlight of the nightly show from “The Electrifying Mojo”, Jennifer Owens. Complementing Mojo’s eclectic playlists, Mills would do advanced DJ tricks like beat juggling and scratching while mixing obscure Detroit Techno, Miami Bass, Chicago House and classic New Wave tracks both live and using a multi track when pre-recorded.
In going on to create his own music Jeff Mills is credited with laying the foundations for the highly influential Detroit Techno collective, Underground Resistance, alongside ‘Mad’ Mike Banks, a former Parliament bass player. Just like Public Enemy did some years before in hip hop, these men confronted the mainstream music industry with revolutionary rhetoric. Dressed in uniforms with skimasks and black combat suits, they were ‘men on a mission’, aiming at giving techno more content and meaning.' Source: Wiki

Dawn - Victim of a Joyride
Found this som' time ago in Memmingen, when my fellows and me took a joyride there... We've diggin out som boxes which where mostly water damaged. This one had a narrow escape. Shows nice splits between youth center freestyle and boogie for the adults... the dub version isn't that strong, thus the original here...Dazed Digital: Veronika Vasicka Mix
Veronica Vasicka's label Minimal Wave is one of the freshest and most interesting labels we know right now. Her releases and finds of obscure material are exceptional and always challenging. We already talked about her activities earlier on this blog and her latest output is a mix, coming with an insightful interview for Dazed Digital. She selects some classic tunes and unknown ones, which i'd love to identify asap!
Double Image - Ki (1988)
Earth's Answer is a valuable New Age compilation riddled with a lot of familiar names like Popol Vuh, Deuter, Hans Otte and so on. The selectors have picked a chilled out composition of german project Double Image, which is one of the standout tunes on this longplayer. Meditative!

Nexda – Twofortysix
From the Nexda EP - 246, 121 AND 657. Catchy New Wave, released on Plurex Records, 1982, Amsterdam.Bonk Combo - Car Jam (Electro Jazz Mix) (1983)
Overlooked
stomper on classic Mango Records. Bonk Combo coming up with weird EFX
and heavy dubs brought together with a good dose of Jazziness. Pumping
beats for fun games on the dancefloor, and as they named it, it's a
gorgeous car jam additionally. Heavy and loud pressing plus easy to
get!
Fact mix 320: Nite Jewel
We're on the side of the appreciators of Nite Jewel. Mostly known for her Ep on Italians do it Better or her collaboration with 80's Funk saviour Dam-Funk, Nite Jewel has a lot more on her plate to serve, as she's involved in many projects with a diverse and intriguing outcome. Nite Jewel has made a mix for renowned Fact Magazine, with obscure and entertaining stuff, which ranges from Folk to Avantgarde and highly qualifies for good home listening. We like!

Александр Градский - Таня белая (хоровод-танок) / Плач
A nice "track" by the Russian rock musican Alexander Gradsky from 1980 which could go through as a dub step track nowadays. According to my Russian friend the lyrics are very morbid. He sings about Tanja who has black eyebrows and black eyes, he wants to marry her, then he's cheating on her, after that she jumps in a river to kill herself.

Hydro feat. Lorna - I'll make your day tonight
Mexican pressing of this Canadian disco classic. With an "interesting" picture cover! Has been originally released the Unidisc-Prism axis just with the common disco sleeve. Got a re-edit some time ago which wasn't too bad! Makes my day tonight!Hollywood Featuring Harvey "Hollywood" Harris - Get Live (1987)
Play House Records was a classic early Chicago House label. According to the cheap Raps on 'Get Live', they seemingly tried to invent a 'New House Beat' on that track, which is a funny abortive attempt. What came out is a pumping and Chicago-induced Electro/Break Dance beat with a slight wavy-feel and well-known and often used lyrics, which were standard in a lot of Electro and Breakdance tunes back then. Witty fail but overall nice material to move the dancefloor!

Mezzanotte - Mezzanotte (LP, 1984, Sneak Preview)
I was hunting for this for a long time... and nowadays it's nevermore that piece of wax that's hard to find. But what maintained: the great mood on this record. It's filled with fm-synths and interesting programming, lush vocals and freshly pressed boogie-juice, but classic. Man, this brings 1984 definitely perfect together. While listening, i'm dreaming of a chicesque frenchy style, Paris(ienne), design-furniture and cars (what is normally not my cup of tea to dream about). The whole dream is then followed by absolute abstraction. Wow... extravaganza. "Don't give in" is the real winner here. Please raise the volume here especially to the maximum, haha. Well, the recording has some crackles here and there. But hey, better than nothing!Three Records To Go For!!! #17
Our heading "Three Records to go for!!!" is meant to highlight you some records, mostly newer ones, that turned out into the bleepgeeks music radar through utterly coincidences, well researched record hunts or any other fortunate circumstances. The stuff we introduce can be dance music, comedy, non-dance music, originals, reissues, bootlegs or limited pieces, we don't separate!
In some cases we just liked the Cover of that Record, sometimes we made a mispurchase and sometimes our mandibles came off because of the music which was carved into the rills!
We won't do any reviews, puffing these records up to holy grails or slam them into wax garbage!
It's just made for you to (hopefully) discover new music and new sleeves! We wish you a lot of fun while finding these records at your local record shop on the streets or in your world wide virtual reality through clicking on to your favourite record stop!
Vinyl, we love you lock, stock and barrell!

Zinc - Amazon (1982)
Been listening to this more often lately. Classic track and a great finger exercise by Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi, who are better known for their speedy and uptempo Disco antics. On Amazon they slow things down and the sunny ocean comes closer. I guess this was big in the early eighties around Baia degli Angeli and the likes. Amazon fever!

BBC Documentary - The Joy Of Disco
Documentary about how a much-derided music actually changed the world.

female desire in the age of feminism and led to the birth of modern club
culture as we know it today, before taking the world by storm. With
contributions from Nile Rogers, Robin Gibb, Kathy Sledge and Ian
Schrager.

Cybotron - Gods Of Norse (1977)
Cybotron, not to be confused with the American group, was an electronic/experimental music band from Australia formed in 1975 by Steve Maxwell Von Braund and Geoff Green. The band was formed after the release of Braund's 1975 album, 'Monster Planet' which Green contributed to; along with Gil Matthews (Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs), Henry Vyhnal and Jim Keays (The Masters Apprentices).
Cybotron released a self-titled album in 1976 containing mainly synthesizers and saxophone. Stylistically, Cybotron were similar to their contemporaries; innovative bands such as Ash Ra Tempel, Hawkwind and Tangerine Dream. They were creating minimalist, repetitive electronica at the same time that Kraftwerk released Autobahn. Today their music is still played around the world and is positively received, albeit not commercially recognised. (Source: Youtube)

Marrakech - Jeux á deux
Weired mix of oriental uptempo disco, frenchy boogie and italian NRG on this german label. Will rock the floor at the right time!
Gülcan Opel - Adaletin Bu Mu Dunya
Adaletin Bu Mu Dunya (Justice of the world) is a famous Turkish protest song written and interpreted by Ali Ercan in 1965 (I'm not sure, if the linked version is the original from 1965), and than interpreted by countless other singers, according to Youtube views most famously by Selda Bağcan (1971) but also by my favorite Turkish singer Gülden Karaböcek (1971). It's an intense song with lyrics about the injustice of the world. The Selda version is kind of harsh, her voice is kind of whiny and bewailing, the version by Gülden Karaböcek is sweeter, her voice is softer and it has a deeper resonance. Nevertheless I would have never posted a version of this song here until I came across this splendid interpretation by Gülcan Opel from 1972. It's nicely orchestrated, very reduced like the Ali Ercan version. But most importantly it has a steady funky groove. Gülcan Opels intonation is very rhythmical but nevertheless sweet. She thereby kind of transcends the howling in the other versions. Enjoy!

Hareton Salvanini - Growing
A nice piece of funky and psyched out film music from a Brazilian erotic / soft porn movie from 1981, a pornochanchada named Xavana, uma ilha do amor (Xavana, Island of Love).
