Don't Stop the Rock

So Freestyle express were Tony Butler,Garfield Baker,Byron Smith, Sherman Neely. As far as I know, Butler also cut other classic electro tracks (Debbie Deb!!!)... These guys were prolific, and a lot of their songs were soundtracks to the golden era of b-boying and locking.
The original version of this track is dope, if you like non-stop mono-tonal vocoders for several minutes (who doesn't). For playing out purposes, F.U.N.K. and I tweaked it touch and just kept the golden bit.

Classi & F.U.N.K.s tweek-a-leek here

There is also a killer version of this song re-worked by Daniel Haaksman - head of MAN recordings in Berlin, a label that specializes in Baile Funk from the slums of Rio. Frankly, I don't understand how that connection works, but the remix speaks for itself.

Haaksmans hack-up here

Club stuff


Just a quick reminder - New Money and Classi are at Le Bisou, at St. Laurent, every Saturday... Good lord the choices abound! Free cosmos for the ladies til 1am. Sexism is alive well thank you very much.

PS Solid Miami Disco, sampled by Biggie (and others). Will post vinyl rip of the LP version - the drums sound kuh-razee on it. In the meantime, shabbat shalom.
