Arp-Life - Baby-Bump (1977)
The ARP-LIFE group was formed in January 1976 at the suggestion of Mateusz Święcicki and Andrzej Korzyński. A few months later it was joined by Maciej Śniegocki who has been its conductor, composer and arranger.
'Arp-Life' is not a platform group, but a typical studio ensemble attached to the Polish Radio and TV. It makes the fullest use in its recordings of the studio equipment, i.e. multi-tracks, sound deformation, etc.
The group derives its modern sound from an electronic set of percussion Instruments, together with strings, brass and a vocal group.
The numbers the "Arp-Life" has been recording sound like and are in the style of discotheque music as just this idiom its members find most resting and relaxing for them.
The group's repertory consists mostly of pieces by its founder - members, mentioned earlier, as well as of arrangements of popular hits both of today and the recent past.
All its numbers are recorded by Andrzej Malczewski, the sound engineer cooperating with the group.
They owe their name, the "Arp-Life", to Mateusz Święcicki who got the idea from the ARP company's synthetizer, one of the electronic devices in the group's initial instrumental line-up.

Nitro Deluxe - Mental Transformation (1986)
First production of Young Manny Skretching Jr. under his Nitro Deluxe moniker. His then new project and signing to Cutting Records turned out to be a golden decision, as he had the biggest hit of his career in the same year with 'Let's Get Brutal', a seminal House tune that's still getting plays around the world. Mental Transformation is an airy Freestyle Electro tune with nice melodies and enough power to move the dancefloor. Young Manny unfortunately deceased this year but his music will live forever!

Nature Love: Fire Salamander
Yesterday i was in the woods and had luckily my camera with me. I met a Fire Salamander which is quite hard to find! He's vulnerable so it's very important to keep away from him... but that's what i did automatically 'cos i'm a coward. But a cute boy, not?! I tried to get him in a good position but i think he wasn't really interested to get photographed, haha...

L.B. Bad, The Prince Of Dance Music - New Age Bonus Track (1989)
We're huge fans of the New York based Nu Groove imprint as you might know already. Their catalogue is full of little surprises, big jams and irresistable alltime classics of House music. The label got well deserved love recently in the form of a Burrell Brothers reissue series, conducted by Rush Hour Amsterdam. This one here is another great gem, produced by Lamont Booker a.k.a. L.B. Bad, The Prince of Dance Music. One of the harder to find records and a truly golden one. New Age Must Have Tracks!

Bunny Sigler - Don't even try (give it up)
Sunshine. Love. Don't hide, don't even try....what a relaxed slowy on Salsoul, 1977..the saxy for sure is inside!
U.S. of A - 2-1 (I Bet Ya)
Elaborated classic disco. Interestingly, this record is a full-british production and was released on Island Records, England. The back cover suggests that the whole band behind is black. Dunno if that one got it's release in the US as well.

Impact - Mr. Ed Raps (198?)
Snappy, swinging and funky Rap from the early days. No parental advisory, no explicit lyrics, just positive grooves! The project is called Impact and the label's called Global, which is an intrinsically funny and smart combination. Let's hear Mr. Ed Rap!
