Boogie Banger

Mary Clark - Take Me I’m Yours

This one goes out to all Finnish rap fans. Take Me I’m Yours by Mary Clark is a huge song all by itself and also a sample to a classic tune in the Finnish rap scene. Such a great uplifting bouncy joint from 1980.

Just looking at the credits should tell you that this one is a bomb. Produced by the maestro himself, Patrick Adams during his peak years and written by Bobby Whitehead & Billy Nichols. Play it loud and enjoy the summer!

Illvester- Feel Reel (Kon remix)

This is HUGE. Kon’s amazing rework of Sylvester’s classic You Make Me Feel. A long and funky disco remix that comes together real nice. This is out as a 12” on Basic Fingers so go get yours while it’s still available. The flipside features another great edit by Kon so you definitely need this in your life.

Check the video as well. Cool footage that goes well with the tune.

Dancin’ To The Beat - Henderson & Whitfield

Things have been quite slow with the blog but let’s not worry about that. Let’s get the party started and the blog up and running with a certfied banger by Henderson & Whitfield. Dancin’ To The Beat is a feel good roller rink boogie jam from 1981. A long time favorite of mine that will get them asses jumping up and down.

And no, the tune doesn’t have anything to do with the Nike ad. I just love the picture and I’m sure that the guys on the ad would’ve loved to get down to the beat with Henderson & Whitfield. By the way, Henderson stands for Greg Henderson, the man behind this classic.

My Donna - Into The Grove (Shep Pettiboner Remix) Dimitri From Paris Re-Edit

A while back Dimitri Form Paris uploaded a phenomenal edit of Madonna’s Into The Groove to SoundCloud. On Twitter he stated that he’ll open a free download for 48 hours once he gets 13 500 followers on Twitter. Finally this happened so act like you know. Perferct tune for summer wedding DJs and lovers of good dance music.

Kashif - I Just Gotta Have You (Lover Turn Me On)

Kashif is the dude of all dudes when it comes to boogie. Sometimes it seems that whatever he did during the early 80’s was on point. Surely he was on fire also earlier with B.T. Express but during the 80’s he released great stuff as a solo artist and did lots of killer productions for other artists, Melba Moore, Evelyn King and Howard Johnson, just to name a few.

Here’s my favorite tune from Kashif’s own catalogue. I Just Gotta Have You is a tight bouncy boogie gem originally released as a 12” in 1982 and on his self titled debut album in 1983. I only have the single but it seems that the album version is identical to the single version. The length is the same and the 12” single doesn’t have any mention of it being a special disco mix etc.
