DJ Chart - David Barbarossa

RAH Band - Electric Fling
(Ebony)
An early doors instrumental Curious Curious classic. Girls dance, boys want to know what it is. Listen out for it on the new Curious Curious compilation, out soon.

Who's Who - Hypno Dance
(OUT)
Eastern flavored hypnotic [of course] disco dancery from the dad of a Daft Punk. Better than their entire recorded output added together.

Assagai - Telephone Girl
(Vertigo)
What's that? Funky Afro-Psych about phoning up for a prostitute? I'll take it!

Black Gold - C'mon Stop
(Prelude)
Classic sounds on a classic label circa 1983. Arlene Gold's heavy breathing makes me doubt her desire to stop somewhat. James Murphy tried to make off with my copy recently. Not surprising as it works up a sordid sweat on the floor.

Revolution Francaise - Translocomotion
(Eurodisc)
Hiding on the flip of a dire disco remake of the French national anthem is this electronic bass, synth & drums killer. Always check the B-side!

Liquid Liquid - Optimo [Optimo remix]
(Domino)
A modern remix of this percussive NYC classic?
Local lads realise that if it isn't broken, don't attempt to fix it. Just make it twice as long for double the pleasure and twice the fun.

Hooterville Trolley - No Silver Bird
(Stoned Circus)
It's not all DiscoFunk in the Barbarossa household, or on the Curious Curious dancefloor.
Coming on like a sugar coated Silver Apples (Silver Toffee Apples?) this super psych nugget may be a little too oddball for some, but the drums are tough enough to keep the broadminded dancer happy.

Frank And Roby - Level With Me
(RS)
This is an Italian number from 1982, but it's in no way 'Italo'. A massive slice of 'Shack-Up' style action with some quite over-the-top guitar lines perfect for some wild air-axe abandon. An absolute stormer.

Ann-Margret - Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes
(First American)
Ann-Margaret does her best Diana Ross impression, Paul Sabu does his best Chic. Cue this fantastic feelgood funk. Perfect for dubious late night dancefloor amorousness. Curious Curious accepts no responsibility for
whose bed you end up in after the party.

Sugar Pie DeSanto - In the Basement
(Chess)
Raw rhythm & blues from a small lady with a massive voice - a perfect last tune for any night in our beloved underground bunker, Stereo.
"Where can you party child all night long? In the Basement, Down in
the Basement!". Indeed.
