Captain Funk presents MER - Monkey Business (Short Edit) #postdisco #funk #newwave #1980

Album details: https://l.tatsuyaoe.com/MERjazzfunk

A fast-paced, high-energy New Wave funk track featuring jumpy, staccato guitar riffs, twitchy synth accents, and a crunchy, aggressive slap bass line. The song captures a quirky, late-’70s to early-’80s "Mutant Disco" vibe, delivering a rhythmic, awkward, and nervous energy perfect for eccentric character introductions, frantic urban montages, or high-tension retro-modern dance scenes.

Today's compilation:

The Disco Years, Vol. 2: On the Beat (1978-1982) 1990 Disco / Post-Disco

The second volume in Rhino Records' Disco Years picks right up from where the first one had left off, taking us from the genre's commercial peak in 1978 up through its demise in popularity by 1982, when it'd branched off into other things like post-disco. Of course, within that five-year timespan, you couldn't possibly fit in everything that needs to fit here, but if you're in need of some basic disco education, this CD's got a bunch of the essentials for ya, including Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell," Lipps, Inc.'s "Funkytown," Village People's "Y.M.C.A." (someone please reclaim it from Trump 🙏), Blondie's "Heart of Glass," and Cheryl Lynn's "Got to Be Real." Glaringly missing is any Donna Summer, but I'm getting word that she appears in a later volume.

My profile picture, the most beautiful Amii Stewart of course. I had this picture saved and had been meaning to listen to her work. I started from her 1984 album Try Love. My favorites were Dangerous Rhythm, I Gotta Have You Back, and Fever Line.
