Any record that samples the Kool & The Gang’s often overlooked ‘Straight Ahead’ gets my vote. Created in the deep south of London by Simon Francis and Will Darling, this easy-on-the-ear-and-even-easier-on-the-floor peak time dancer has obvious commercial appeal (we are talking the most successful crossover post-disco act of the first half of the eighties here) that’s rightly already picking up key support from the likes of Mark Wilkinson, Felix Leiter and Andrew Galea from just a handful of download links. Currently being shopped for a full commercial release that with the necessary distribution should ensure this hands-in-the-air climatic dancer has enough of the x-factor to ensure the hype equate into sales.
