Bob Sinclar
I Feel For You (Axwell) 12"

dance anthem revisited

Get out the tanning oil and break open the red bullz. This 2007 remix from Axwell re-cemented mainstream anthem status for Bob Sinclar's "I Feel For You." Huge song got huger. Dub version(2) on the flip.

Bob Sinclar
World, Hold On (feat. Steve Edwards) 12"

dance anthem

Arguably the biggest dance hit of 06-07, "World Hold On(1)" still has that anthemic quality... perfect for summer BBQs, boat parties, and sunsets. Everyone knows this song. Includes club mix and extended club mix.

Michael Jackson
I Am Love / The Lady In My Life 12"

two seldom heard Michael Jackson songs

One of the silver linings of MJ's recent passing is that everybody really got into some of the man's more obscure tracks. Sure, "Billie Jean" was the most played song last week, but for the whole of that weird weekend you could turn on the radio and hear any selection of the man's more obscure album cuts and joints from back in the day. With some supremely eerie timing, Slow To Speak has compiled two of those lesser known MJ tracks here on this 12". Side A features "The Lady In My Life(1)," originally released on Thriller, while the flip features The Jacksons' "I Am Love(2)," taken from Dancing Machine. Just like every other Slow To Speak release, this one is very limited and the cover is silk screened and very snazzy looking. Recommended.

J.P.'s Force
Time To Throw Down / Shake What You Got 7"

obscure DC boogie

More regional boogie rarities brought to the surface from PPU! J.P.'s Force hails from the Washington DC area and is the work of Joe Phillips ("J.P.") a member of the Winstons, the band that brought you the Amen Break (most classic drum break of all time). Chceck the burning boogie grooves on "Time To Throw Down(1)" and the irresistible "Shake What You Got(2)." Obviously rare and expensive on OG press. Quality as usual from PPU (release #11 if you're keeping count). Recommended.

Glass Pyramid Band
Unreleased Cassette Demos LP

unreleased 80s synth funk

Once again Peoples Potential has unearthed some killer 80's synth funk this time from... Oklahoma City?! Yup, it's true - this is a one of a kind blend of boogie and county (heavily leaning towards the boogie side mind you) like no other that you just gotta hear to believe. Despite the funny lyrics, "Country Cowboy(1)" is just TOO funky (talkin bout a cowboy that turns the city out with his pimp styles!) Here you get it with the vocal version, instrumental, and cool alternate take instrumental. On the flip, check the funk on "Who's Girl Are You(2)," which sounds like some lost Rick James jam, and "Better By The Minute(3)" an 80s style R&B groover. First time on vinyl, mastered from the original cassette demo and it actually sounds great! Comes in a pic sleeve with dope retro logo. Recommended.

DJ Funky Chocolate
First Choice, Vol.4 (Boogie Beat) EP

rare disco boogie

Fourth volume in DJ Funky Chocolate's First Choice series featuring two more choice disco boogie joints that are as funky and soulful as they are rare. Ivan Neville's "Dance Your Blues Away(1)" is an uplifting jam that'll with sweet melodies and an irresistible vibe. Family Of Eve's impossible to find cut (not even on discogs!) "Having It So Bad For You(2)" continues the feel-good vocal grooves. Double-A side status for sure. Recommended.

DJ Funky Chocolate
First Choice, Vol.3 (Boogie Beat) EP

rare modern soul

The First Choice series just keeps raising the bar with their boogie and soul represses! This is the third volume and features the incredibly soulful (and RARE!) sounds of Tony Love and Tal Armstrong. Get your groove on to "We're Doing It Together(1)" and "You Got So Much Feeling(2)" with that special friend of yours. Both these tracks demand premium prices on original pressings (I'd been searching for the Tony Love 45 for daaays), so consider this repress a blessing. Nice and loud pressing quality too.

Beverley Road All Stars
I'm Still In Love / Danger In Your Eyes (DJ DRM, E's E) 7"

dubby downtempo covers of classic reggae riddims

"Names You Can Trust and Bastard Jazz team up to present the Beverley Road All Stars, a new studio project under the guidance of producers DJ DRM and E's E. Comprised of a select squad of talented studio musicians in Brooklyn, the Beverley Road All Stars mark their debut with 2 new interpretations of classic Studio 1 riddims. "I'm Still In Love(1)," driven by the inspiration of Marcia Aitken and Alton Ellis' timeless versions,
delves deep into a boom-bap affair of moody synths and dubbed out horns.
An unmistakable ode to this massive lovers rock tune. "Danger In Your Eyes(2)" slows the tempo and rediscovers the magic of the original horn line, fashioning a new groove of punchy drums and yard rattling bass for an infectious blend of rocksteady rhythm and outerspace dub." Editor - recommended.
