Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On / 1973 Motown
TIMMEEEELESSSSSSS ! this music makes me feel the same way everytime i hear it. amazing music, amazing song. i think the song still means the same today as it did in 1973. it goes directly to your heart.
Oscar D Leon – Me Voy Pa Cali
Pure Salsa. Oscar D’Leon is called the ” Lion of Salsa”. Such a great energy in this song that you can’t stop dancing and singing along. I started to spin this song in parties when I was a student at university.
Jackson Sisters – I Believe In Miracles / 1976
Pure Bomb of Funk/ Soul. This is one of the rarest record of the 70’s. It is said that the manufacture with the original pressing burned down. So far I have seen only repressing. I was so happy when Sunlightsquare asked me to remix it.
Unlimited Touch – I Hear the Music In The Street / 1981 Prelude
Coming out from the legendary funk label Prelude. This cut comes out a magnificent LP of pure disco funk. This is one of the first record I have ever collected and spun.
People Get Up And Drive Your Soul – James Brown / Slaughter S Big Rip Off 1973
His majesty James Brown in a 9 minutes masterpiece. The whole groove is infectious and you always have to spin the song till the very last second. Thank you JB for this amazing recording !
Brigas Nunca Mais – Gal Costa / Gal Canta Jobim / BMG 200
This bossa nova song is a must have. Composed by the master and creator of bossa nova Antonio Carlos Jobim and performed by Gal Costa, one of the sweetest brazilian singer. When you listen to it you already feel that you are in rio de janeiro.
Loletta Holloway – Runaaway – Salsoul 1977
Disco Classic ! Loletta Holloway with the Salsoul Orchestra is uncomparable. Even though there were some great versions , this one is unbeatable.
Willy Colon & Hector Lavoe – El Dia Mi Suerte / Fania 1973
Another Salsa classic joining two of the greatest, the trombone player Willy Colon and Hector Lavoe ” El cantante de los cantantes”.
Gwen Mccrae – All This Love That I’m Giving / Flame Records 1988
This one is a dancefloor killer ! I used to play it a lot when I was living in London and it has always been a massive success. Gwen Mc Crae at his best.
Stevie Wonder – Ribbon In The Sky / Original Musiquarium Motown 1982
This song has a very special story as it was part of the double LP musiquarium which was the only record I had for a year when I was in internship in algeria. I used to play this record again and again. Only Stevie Wonder could do that. Pure Genius.
