T.C CURTIS - BUMP & SLIDE 12"(DUB VERSION) HOT MELT RECORDS, 1983
T.C Curtis has his fair share of adoring fans somewhere out there, I for one ain't one of them - there is just something about his vocals that really get to me, irritate me almost - I actually was in the habit of totally dismissing every single T.C Curtis record I came across, this for some funny reason happened to be the exception and boy am I grateful for that.
The needle stayed on the A-side (vocal side) for about 10 seconds, but upon flipping it over I realised I had a beast on my hand - minus the squealing of Mr. Curtis which was a very pleasant bonus. Heavy bass thuds and echo/flanger effects - it remains one of my favourite boogie/dub remixes - simply because it goes off anytime it drops. If you buy any T.C Curtis record, buy this one - bold statement I know - I just haven't heard another one that comes close - maybe if he did less singing.

MY KIND OF WOMAN (RE - EDIT) courtesy of STEVIE J A few months back I did a review on this record (see past review) and remember saying I was going to post up an edit of it as soon as i got it done. Well here it is only thing is i did'nt do this edit - I tried and tried and tried again, but eventually came to the conclusion that i was useless at this, it just didn't sound right. The other evening Funkineven came by and we discussed the record and its potential - he said he would do the edit, I had it with me within 30 minutes of him getting his hands on the track.

G.B and The Tracks - My kind of Women/Dance to the music - Smash Disco (78) Aptly, we move from a dance themed mixtape (if you hadn't figured it out) to an album titled Dance to the music. Gerry Bribosia who as far as I am concerned released probably one of the worst records I’ve ever heard – Dracula disco(see below) - released the album Dance to the music and the single above through the Canadian label Smash Disco in 1978 under the name G B and the Tracks a year after Dracula disco I actually haven't got a copy of the album i do however have a copy of the single above with the albums self titled track on the B side and on the A side a tune that when I first heard took me on a journey of love and hate and which eventually led to a full blown love affair. 
The track My kind of woman, doesn’t exactly typify the cheesy disco you could expect from that period, The first 30 or so seconds of electronic sounds don’t leave you guessing – you know you got a killah record on your hands – then it switches and Mr Bribosia rears his beautiful but annoying head In the form of his vocals, this pisses you off – well it pissed me off the first time I heard it – then after about 2 or 3 minutes of Gerry rambling on about a dancing woman – it switches again, its like the track started all over again but this time it goes on without the vocals and in those 3 minutes is when I fell in love with the track – it does switch again to G B singing but this time he sounds delicious.
