STORIES

"Some of his sets were just unbelievable, I remember dancing to Liz Torres 'Can't Get Enough' for 35 minutes, it was beyond hypnotic and the end people just stood there and screamed for more. Unfortunately he pushed himself to the limits too and it became self destructive" David Piccioni for Larry Levan.

IT'S IN YOUR BLOOD

Linda Hopkins originally from New Orleans, Louisiana was discovered by Mahalia Jackson when she was 11 and became her protege. "It's In Your Blood" was written by disco legend Billy Nichols as well as being produced by Bert DeCoteaux who also worked on Lonnie Liston Smith track in the 1978 “Space Princess”.

MY AUTUMN'S DONE COME

''If you ask me "My Autumn's Done Come" by Lee Hazelwood is quite possibly the best retirement song ever written. The maverick singer-songwriter was only 37 when he wrote and recorded the song in 1966, yet it's one of the most evocative autumnal songs ever attempted, an unflinching look at the bath-chair period. "Let those 'I-don't-care-days' begin," he sings, "I'm tired of holdin' my stomach in/ Bring me water short and scotch tall / A big long black cigar that ain't all / Hang me a hammock between two big trees / Leave me alone, damned! Let me do as I please ..."

RED MATCH BOX

A stone killer from the 70s European scene – even though the record was never issued at the time! The album features a rare combination of grooves from the Lafayette Afro Rock Band, and vocals from Mikki White – an American singer who really adds a whole new dimension to their music – taking it into even tighter, funkier areas than before – and giving it a focus that's mighty mighty nice!
