Long awaited re-issue of Harri Stojka Express’ “What a Funky Night”, originally released in 1983. The Austrian producer/guitarist took everyone by surprise with this huge Boogie-Disco-Funk meteorite, due to his previous releases, which were mostly jazz-rock-fusion orientated records.Previously only pressed in Austria and Spain, Mothers I’d Like To Funk is proud to present to you an official re-issue of this Funk anthem, and the flip side features a marijuana reggae tune

Toy Tonics regulars and Munich based House & Disco specialists Coeo step up for their 'Dance Routines' on the vinyl-only Resista. On the A side is a Gabonese Boogie weapon with a beyond funky bassline and body-rocking drums mixed with an amazing vocal, triumphant horns and syncopated guitar hits. Over on the B1, a rolling Giorgio Morode-esque Disco synth bass is layered with jacking Proto House drums and Arabic chanting for a track that wouldn't be amiss in a Hot Mix 5 show. Finally the B2 whips up a percussion frenzy with a deep droning bass stab and a hypnotic call and response vocal.

This long-awaited inaugural release from DJ Fred Spider's Voom Voom Records visits an iteration of the legendary South African jazz funk ensemble of the 20th century. Spirits Rejoice recorded two incredible jazz fusion albums in the late 70’s with amble lashings of funk and soul. As the currents of popular music shifted in the 1980s, the group got behind a modern dance side project led by guitarist Paul Petersen and produced by the genius Patric Van Blerk.The result was Doctor Rhythm and an album entitled I Feel It Rising from 1981. Based out of Cape Town's premier vintage vinyl emporium, Voom Voom presents the album's sultry slow-burner "I'm So Strong Now" (paired with a modern remix) and well as two versions of the disco-boogie swinger "Hook It Up" written by the pianist Mervyn Africa (the original track alongside a Fred Spider & Simbad edit and a crisp rework by DJ Turmix from NY to boot). The result is an essential dancefloor release documenting what is surely South Africa's best take on band-driven New York boogie from the disco years.

2018 repress More tight edits from The Fanstasy, Detroit.One of the finest songwriters America has ever seen, Bill Withers crafted this song while he was still working at the factory. Recorded for his debut album, this song was regrettably recorded and arraged according to 1971 standards, with the bass drum almost inaudible, and the arrangement code of pop and soul keeping the song to a criminal 3 minutes. This mix attempts to reverse engineer a Tom Moulton mix of a song that never had one, but deeply deserves that kind of love. 2 If You Want Your Fantasy 6:32 "Come on People", A.R. & Machines, Germany, 1971 An often overlooked Kraut Rock gem from 71, with a kind of Bo Diddley beat to it. It is possible to listen to the original 3 minute version over and over all day long, so we just made a mix that better facilitates all day listening, as well as the ability to play it on ridiculously powerful sound systems. 3 I'm Warning You 5:59 "Gardens of the Pure", Chris & Cosey, England, 1984 If you aren't from Chicago, you might not know the original jack groove came from this Throbbing Gristle offshoot. I can only imagine Ron Hardy melting the minds of the Music Box with the original of this. This mix attempts to unleash the full power of the insane monster inside the original of this song. Freaky. And ultra hypnotic. 4 I Like What I Like 7:52 "I Like What I Like (Because I Like It)", Everyday People, Canada, 1971 From the inception of disco, it was pioneering DJs playing 2 copies of this intro to extended it out forever, to get lost in this strange Sly Stone inspired Canadians known as Everyday People tribal jungle intro to "I Like What I Like". Well we like about every song that references Sing, Sing, Sing or Gene Krupa, so this lost gem was begging for a Fantasy reshape, highlighting their weird bird-call-lost-in-the-psychedelic-tribal-rock-soul-eternal dawn of disco moments.
