Funky Disco Please !

Jesse Gomez - Baby I’m Coming At You (SoulSeduction Edit)

Our favorite DJ, Nikos Tsifis, aka SoulSeduction just released a brand new edit. He’s the one who released one of our all time favorite, which you can listen just here.

J.R. Funk & The Love Machine - From The Giddy Up

Massive bassline and true party vibes that will make you scream!

The Gene Dunlap Band - Take My Love

We really love this one, full of positive dancing energy and everything! It is taken from Gene Dunlap's second album, Party In Me, released in 1981 at Capitol Records.

You really should check out the whole album, it's full of super groovy tracks, many of them being some ultra fine sampling material. His third album, Tired of Being a Nice Guy (1983) is a safe asset as well.

Sharon Redd - You Got My Love

Here's a delicate touch of love and sweetness coupled with a super efficient bass to make you feel perfectly good now that the cold days have arrived!

Slow beat, classic disco violins, sexy vocals... Though Sharon Redd released this gem in 1981, she astoundingly managed to inject an authentic disco spirit in it, making it sound like a love anthem rather than as a dancefloor killer just like other post-disco artists usually did.

Woods Empire - In Your Ear With It

We really love Woods Empire here at Funky Disco Please! We previously made a post about Sweet Delight, which was actually released on the same album in 1981.

Hope you'll feel like dancing as much as we did when we first hit the play button!

The Promises - This Love Is Real

Sexy vibes straight out the 70s for greatest pleasure!

This one was first released in 1972 on BRC but we discovered it thanks to a brilliant CD that came out in 2009. It is called Windy City Soul, and you guys definitely have to check it out as it is full of 100% pure gems such as this one.

Atlantis - Keep On Movin' And Groovin'

1982 post-disco bomb to make your parties sound happier.

Massive thanks to our beloved Léah for bringing this up to our curious ears!

Like it? Good, then try this one as well!

Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band - A Fifth Of Beethoven

Disco era classic... revisiting classical music !

Tracy Weber - Sure Shot

Disco had its drama. Tracy Weber's story is one of them.

Our beloved Tracy Weber recorded Sure Shot as a demo in early 1981 after spending a few months working on it with Nick Braddy who co-wrote it.

Sadly, she never got to hear or share the success of the song as she was gunshot to death just two weeks before the record came out in a Harlem apartment by someone trying to shoot her brother.

The record were then picked up by Eric Matthew of Gary Gang's and later mixed by Larry Levan, to be finally released thanks to Ray Caviano.

Patti LaBelle - Release (scratchandsniff re-rub)

Patti LaBelle's 1980 hit have never been so relevant since the Cold War ended. Just see for yourselves.

Pleasure - Give It Up

Pleasure certainly stands among the unsung bands of 70s funk and soul. Even though they started producing some damn fine gems in 75, the main R&B radio stations just ignored them until Glide came out in 1979.

This short success did not last though, as the two albums they released afterwards : Special Things and Give It Up were ignored just like the previous ones.

As you might have guessed, the track you're listening to is taken from their 1982 album that has the exact same name: Give It Up.
