Faster than a speeding bullet

Jan Leslie Holmes- I'm your superman

Get it on

I do not know anything about this tune... I have had it a fare few years and only know it's called GET IT ON.... a proper boogie number on the disco edge but a serious groover with a killer bass.....

I have no image to give as it is on a re-press bootleg but this one reminds me of this tune... just Pimp'n Boogie!

GET IT ON......

Slap my face

With a bassline to shake your innards, a quirky vocal and a classic vocal line, this tune is the dogs nadgers. The first ever production from the piano prodigy that is Terry Burrus, responsible for epic piano arrangements such as the one on Nuyorican Soul - Its Alright, I Feel it. Loving the vocal dexterity from Transe on this one. Slap my face, baby, slap it.

Terry Burrus & Transe - Love Rockin

Aerobic boogie

Bez is still up to his neck in nappies, so here's his entry.

Hearing the intro, I originally bought this tune thinking I could add it to my 'Private Benjamin Soundtrack' and collection of other military training recordings, to my surprise it actually developed into quite a good boogie tune. Leaving my love of the sweet lady vocal aside this round, I thought I would try something different this week, by hoping to touch the current predilections of Sternfunk and Slippa Irie for all things 'protohouse'. This tune is possibly an early example of boogie meets aerobics music, so get your dance pumps and legwarmers on, get sweaty and do what the song says, work that body!

Hot Streak - Body Work

Its Bez again

So can you guess who won round 4? Its Bez with Come Let Me Love You and its starting to become a landslide. To be fair, Miss Lady Day has got the most points of all the tunes posted so far. Its a great tune and an outright boogie classic. Well in chaps for some great selections, looks like round 5 has started already...

One way - Come Dance With Me BOOGIE OFF PART 5

Come Dance With Me taken from the (Six track EP)ONE WAY


One Way was an R&B/funk band that was popular in the late 1970s and throughout most of the 1980s. One Way was formed in 1979 in Detroit, Michigan and were originally known as Soul Partners. Al Hudson, Alicia Meyers, guitarists Dave Roberson and Cortez Harris, bassist Kevin McCord, drummer Gregory Green and keyboardist Jonathan Meadows were the original members. They first recorded as "Al Hudson and the Partners", scoring an R&B hit on the ABC label called "You Can Do It" in 1979. At that time, however, ABC records was in the process of being taken over by MCA as part of a buyout, and when the band moved to the MCA label, they subsequently changed their name to One Way featuring Al Hudson before becoming One Way. They were on MCA Records from 1980 to 1988. They scored five Top Ten R&B hits, with the biggest being "Cutie Pie," which reached number four in 1982. Candye Edwards was the female lead of the group from 1981 to 1985. Candye's debut was on the "Pull Fancy Dancer" album, where she belted out a very soulful riff in the intro. Edwards remained with the group throughout the biggest successes, including "Cutie Pie." They moved to Capitol Records in 1988, where they released their final album A New Beginning in 1989.

One Way - Come Dance With Me

Straight outta Canada.

Hudge is on the road this week so I'm posting his babble....


Ah Monsieur Slippa some Canadian Boogie badness right under your nose. Not only is this a straight up banger but the guy also looks a bit like you too! A possible new look maybe? I gotta get extra points for that?

Super talented Gino was one of those really annoying people that were good at everything, singing the vocals (main and background), playing guitar (acoustic and rhythm),keyboards, drums, percussion as well as doing the arrangement , the production(producing under the name Kebekelektrik), the mixing and even credited for the art direction(although judging by Jens's new look the latter might have left a little something to be desired).

I put this this tune on the the show reel mix for Solar Radio and it got me the job so i love this nugget and is feature it regularly on the show.

This all im gonna say apart from go and buy this and play it out and watch the floor burn. Ha ha, show me the points bieeatchis.

PS please grow a handle bar tash and get a sky blue guitar Jensen. If you haven't already that is!

Gino Soccio-Try it out

On behalf of Uncle Biggie here is his 4th round entry.

INSTANT FUNK

Welcome to a true boogie classic... found on the B side of a much loved 12" and sung by the extraordinary Bunny Sigler, I have always felt this had a certain something to move the floor, it's less played and as such has the wow factor every time... appreciated by the connoisseur and the layman alike it packs a well written beat from the off and when the guitar break kicks in it lifts the track to a level where 'BOOGIE' is the only description for what it becomes.... Like all good boogie it has a section where you you wonder what was going on in the recording studio.... and just as this registers on the brain... Back comes the boogie to Slap, Slap and Lickady Lap your body!!!! Thank you Instant Funk.

Instant Funk - Slap Slap Lickady Lap

Boogie D'amour

Now this is special. The definition of seduction, a true shiver giver. Just lay back and let those sweet vocals soothe you.

File under Lovers Boogie.

Syreeta- Move it do it

You're the one

It seems like a lot of boogie tunes are recorded by either one hit wonders or backing singers who have a couple of their own hits. Bez's selection of Jeanette Lady Day is a good example of the former, whilst mine is by Katie Kissoon, who is still to this day singing back-up for artists such as Robbie Williams and Van Morrison. Now to class her as just a back-up singer would be doing her a disservice. She had a number of slushy chart hits in the 70's when teamed up with her brother Mac. But she only recorded 3 tunes under her own name before returning to singing back-up to the likes of Wham and Eric Clapton.

I managed to track down a copy of this from a Dutch dealer at a reasonable price but don't think there are too many copies of this around. Big up the Beat Electric crew for turning me onto this one.

Katie Kissoon - You're The One (You're My Number One)

I'm a Lady

Round 4 is kicking off with Bez's latest selection. Here's what he has to say about it.

Continuing my preference for the lady vocals, this wonderful tune starts with a lady grunting and natty flute, need I say any more, it's gotta win just for that combo, if it doesn't win this round then next week I will post a tune containing James Galway grunting while playing his natty flute. You have been warned!

Jeanette Lady Day - Come Let Me Love You

Yeah it's me...

There's a lot to be said for letting someone down gradually when it's all over in a relationship. When your name is Sinnamon, you record the dumping conversation and put it on a boogie record. Callous and harsh you may say but it makes for one hell of a dancefloor burner and the winner of week 3 of the boogie off. Well in Bez for his 2nd winning entry. Might be time for the rest of the crew to pull up their socks before he starts to run away with the competition.

As a little bonus here's the instrumental version in its full 14 minute glory.

Sinnamon - Thanks to You (Instrumental)

The Beginning Vol 1 TI2TB

What can i say FINALLY, the Original mix including one of my favourite tunes of all time (Logg -Dancing into the stars) this is where it began the love affair which grows stronger the longer we stay together, ahaahaah sounds like a song?

All i can say i was another clubber getting bored with the same repetitive beats i was hearing in the clubs and still to this day!

then

David Kelly dragged me along to what was the second Boat Party what was i hearing rare groove disco funk house hip hop all mixed together i was in heaven thats when i fell in love with TI2TB.

I had met Bez,Jensen,Hudge,Rich, and Charlie a few years before the Boat Parties i couldn't say i knew them i knew of them one thing, i can say from my heart if ever they needed my help or a roof or pretty much anything i got your back.

It was and still is a pleasure.

My proudest moment and most nerve racking was my first and last set on the Boat.

An avid record buyers since the age of 11 and trust me all my family loves music, my 7th birthday 1978 was a Sound System Big Box speakers and a strange smell lingering in the air!.

I think that was when i first notice the power of music.

2nd The summer of love 1988

3rd 1998 TI2TB

special thanks to Big Stef for the mint tape i will return it to you Peace TI2TB

You Saved My Day

Yo, Yo YO.... always late to the party.... I hope you all can forgive me my late entry.... ?? Anyway... was lucky enough to go and see a living legend... Mr Stevie Wonder... last night, it was a 'lifes long' dream fulfilled, and he is as good as I ever expected if not better... Whilst dancing around at an all-seater venue - upsetting my neighbours.... I realised Boogie cannot be postponed, you might only get one chance to do something or see someone, I felt the big man tell me... get up and do your boogie thing... so, late or not, this is how I felt yesterday, I was saved, my day returned to me full of positivity and joy.... Boogie classic or not, I hope Cheryl can save your day today!

CHERYL LYNN - YOU SAVED MY DAY.

Peace and enjoy - I actually don't care if I win this round.... BIG UP THE MAN LIKE STEVIE WONDER!!!
