New Kool Kyle Rip
I posted this back in early 09 & just got a request for a re-up. My copy is pretty whipped, but I re-ripped them & cleaned them up this morning. Both sides are dope. I've actually been sleeping on the vocal - Kyle kinda kills it on the mic. The instrumental is a sleeper mellow disco beat. Does any recognize the bassline?

Searching To Find The One
Here's a very slight edit of Unlimited Touch off of the classic bootleg imprint Ballroom Records. Ballroom was responsible for both reissuing tracks & pressing up some useful edits. If any Jammers have further information on the label, please leave a comment.

UPDATE:
We struck gold in the comment section, thanks to Em-Uno. Here's what he had to say:
Hey folks-
Ballroom was run by a French fellow of Italian background. I don't want to say his name since he was pretty secretive about doing this for obvisou reasons, but if you were on the record scene in NYC in the '90s/early 2000s you know who I'm talking about. He doesn't live in NYC anymore and isn't involved with pressing records now, to my knowledge. I helped him and his partner with press releases/onesheets and such, later did some re-edit work. Ballroom are almost all straight represses of medium-rare dance classics (this is the promo-only Francois K mix of "Searching"). We also did the Jazz-Funk label, Disco Strut, Disc-O-Lypso and a bunch of one-off reproductions. Some of these repros were so good that they have gotten into discogs and popsike as 'rare originals' or such. I get a kick out of that... Ballroom ended when the guy in charge left NYC, in 2002 I think.

Slave Masters (Jacques Renault Remix)
I love the dubby, hypnotic treatment Jacques gave this Seun Kuti track.

Before You
Talk about a sick 45rpm! I bought this record from one of my favorite dealers in PA, this guy even does house calls! The story behind this record is pretty sweet, the group, "Custer's Last Band" is originally from Lancaster, PA, and had a huge local following back in the early 70s. The 10 piece band wrote two of their own tunes that charted on Lancaster's WLAN Radio. Custer's Last Band featured 3 lead singers with horns and a classic Hammond B-3 organ. This 45 is very rare and hellafunky, definitely a keeper. Enjoy!

Get Up
Here's a quality (nu) groove from Underground Kids, which is an alias for Total Science. A while back our pals over at Polizei Motion posted Total Science's mega jam, "Just A Little Bit." I'll repost that for your listening pleasure too.

Have Yourself A Good Time
Major Lance is known more for his doo-woppy "Northern Soul" stylings (and having most of his material written by Curtis Mayfield), but this 70s joint is more of a feel good funky disco groover.
P.S. I hate the term Northern Soul.

Free Download of RCMP - Love The Music (Fifteenth Remix)
I have a freebie for you from last month's big big RCMP II: The Remixes release.
As many folks are aware, Fifteenth is the dynamite collab between LA's party starter Mike B and long-time Philadelphyinz affiliate Sammy Bananas. Basically it's a dream team, and they make some of the best sample-derived house out there right now, so we were thrilled to have them work on our tune!
Many thanks to the Fools Gold blog for giving the exclusive DL last week.

Harrisburg Private Press Rap
Here's a private press hip-hop 45 I came across last summer. I prefer 9 x Get Off, the instrumental b-side. Oh, and I made a Discogs entry so add that shit to your wantlist.
