BROOKLYN DISCO REFUNK You don't need good looks when you have THE FUNK in such ludicrous amounts. That guy at the back is the only member of Crown Heights Affair with a dental plan and,by-golly, he's going to show off about it. Space Duke performs re-constructive orthodontics on the Brooklyn 702s disco legends and it's all beaming smiles.

Crown Heights Affair: Searching For Love , Dancin' , Sexy Ways From: Do It Your Way [De-Lite Records, 1976] I picked this record up after applying my rigorous record-buying decision tree: do I like (in order of importance)- the cover? the title? the bandname? If the first three items check out, I proceed to the make-or-break question: do I like the release year? I checked the wax... "19763... a resounding "yes" to all of the above. I have a deep afinity for music from 1976. To my ears, [...]

the craziness of the last couple of weeks has somehow caused me to ween myself off my usual diet of nu disco & electronica and onto material of a slightly older variety. weirdness. i shouldn't need to tell you just how instrumental larry levan was with this whole modern day djing/disco/music thing. he was the man. i have spent the last few days basking in live recording glory from back in his paradise garage days.. these sets are an unbelievable collection of 70's and 80's funk and disco (among many other things) and the [...]

When I want to have some fun, when I want to dance, when I want to groove, when I want to funk, I know where to go. Crown Heights Affair - Dream World Thank you very much Beat Electric for ripping the vinyls that make my day a little sweeter.

Crown Heights Affair were a powerhouse band that made some of the best disco funk records in the 70's. "Dream World" is no exception, though not one of their big hits. It's super full on from start to finish, and though each element is over the top it all fits together so well...even the bomb exploding at the end works. Possibly my favorite part of this song is their use of horns. Big and precise with no timidness. "Dream World" was released on a limited Promo 12" from Mercury Records in 1978 as a precursor to [...]

Another portion of ramblings and a new batch of great music is about to hit your screen. Lately I've been spinning some pretty mixed stuff, ranging from the darkest and gloomiest dubstep to some over-the-top funky & happy disco. This post will be the essence of what I've been listening to lately, and I can only recommend checking back in the coming week, I've lined up a number of sweet tracks for your listening pleasure. Hercules and Love Affair's Blind was easily my favorite track of 2008. Lately, this Serge Santiago edit has taken [...]

Trilark was the cloud city steazed vocal trio brainchild of Crown Heights Affair masterminds Ray Reid and William Anderson. Another treasure from 1982, (I know I keep harping on this year, next week promise I will be on some 1979 heat) the quite rare Trilark LP was a collection of mid tempo modern soul jams. The more accessible single "Love Never Looked Better" is a decent track but not up to par with some of the other material on the record in my opinion. My favorite joint is "Check It Out". I just picture an [...]

The Brooklyn, NY based group Crown Heights Affair came along in the mid 70's and put out their first record in 1974 for RCA records. They soon moved on to join Kool and The Gang on De-Lite Records where they recorded several LPs and 12" singles. They were one of the pioneering groups in the the disco era and had a sound with a deep, soulful and funky vibe; but also produced several cosmic disco tracks. This track is my favorite next to Dance Lady Dance and Say A Prayer For Two . Members Ray Reid [...]

spain loved the 70s so much, it decided to keep them forever. seriously, something i noticed while in spain recently, is that they don't renovate or update for the sake of it. some of those shop fronts, signs and decor have been there for more than 30 years, untouched. similarly, why update your sound if it still works? disco clearly resonated within spanish ears, and they're reluctant to let go. with the dismal british news the only english-language entertainment we could get on our hotel, it made perfect sense. if ain't broke...
