Kon & Amir present Off Track Vol. III: Brooklyn - Rare Ghetto Disco, Funk & African Boogie
More great music from BBE:
"Off Track III finds the New York/Boston-based pair shining light on another diverse array of underexposed vinyl. The eclectic African disco and soul cuts Amir highlights on his disc are Americanized by style but inherently authentic in feel, demonstrating the very best of the region’s dance music from the period following Fela Kuti’s mid-70s creative peak. Some standouts: Tee Mac’s 1980’s insistently catchy ‘Living Everyday’; Effi Duke’s percussive masterpiece ‘The Time Is Come’; and Christy Essien’s glorious ‘You Can’t Change A Man’, which features famed bandleader Geraldo Pino’s Show Train outfit. Also in the mix are a couple of cuts from unsung Nigerian star Dizzy K. Falola aimed at sophisticated dancefloors.
Kon’s disc opens with an extended edit of Donny McCullough’s ‘From The Heart’ from a pricey 1981 album. Rudolph Baker’s little known album track ‘Getting Next To You’ is a floor-filling anthem in the waiting. Edge of Daybreak were a prison band whose punchy title track from their rare Eyes Of Love album provides a solid argument for subsidizing more music programs behind bars. ‘Tin Top’ is another cut with a Kon edit, but Kenny Mann & Liquid Pleasure are the antithesis of mysterious indy-label group, the veterans performing to this day and maintaining a comprehensive website loaded with videos and resumes."

New Music from Prins Thomas' Debut Album
This is FIYA! Let it ride for minute and let the groove sink in and eventually take you over. This may not be 100% on-point, but as rough points of reference, if you dig Air and The Phenomenal Handclap Band, you might could f-ck with this. Here's the official plug in case I'm just trainwrecking the pitch though:
"Prins Thomas is now intrinsically linked to the eclectic and often termed ‘cosmic-disco’ sounds emanating from his homeland, Norway. Alongside Hans-Peter Lindstrøm their eponymous debut album and follow up II have opened up their tripped out sounds to a whole new audience of music lovers. Having already garnered international acclaim for his own DJing skills the world over and with a staggeringly impressive remix CV it comes as some surprise that after all that music and after all these years, we now have Prins Thomas's debut solo album!"

Promo Mix of Dimitri From Paris - Get Down With The Philly Sound
Dimitri From Paris-35 min of Philly Sound PROMO by bbemusic
Streaming-only for this promo mix sorry to say even though Dimitri is talking all over it and its snippets anyway rendering it kind of worthless for bootleggers. This 2-CD set including one disc with the original versions sounds like its gonna be pretty monstrous though. Here's the official plug:
"BBE Records proudly presents its 5th and arguably most exciting compilation with the French dj and ambassador of disco, Dimitri from Paris. This compilation focuses on Dimitri’s essential disco era tracks - made in Philadelphia, that feature the core of the rhythm section that created and defined the sound of the genre. For this compilation Dimitri has exclusively reworked 5 tracks from the original multitrack tapes of Gamble and Huff with a further 4 being edited from the original 2 track stereo masters."

Discovered: Black Point - Watagatapitusberry
Maybe I'm just way out the loop but do you know how long I've been trying to figure out not only what this song was actually called but even who did it?? I ended up googling the Halle Berry/strawberry line and was directed by Yahoo answers to this video which was described as being 'official.' LOL (and super-pause, BTW) at that clip, but this is the real deal although you wouldn't know it by their respective view counts, right?
This kinda hip-hop/Baltimore/house/reggaeton track is a no-brainer BANGER though. Kind of like that "Put Your Drinks Up" joint by DJ Mad & David S. from a couple years ago that still gets some run in the clubs.
Black Point is Sensato, Pitbull, Lil Jon & El Cata.

Remixes of Tracks from Wale's Attention: Deficit Album
To celebrate the release of Wale's major label debut album today, here's a couple club music remixes of tracks by him, one a B'more club take on a track from his debut 100 Miles and Runnin' mixtape and the other of a track from the new Attention: Deficit album:
Wale – "Good Girls (DJ Jonny Blaze Bmore Club Remix)" [via The Couch Sessions]
Wale feat. Lady Gaga – "Chillin (Top Billin UK remix)" [via Kickin' the Peanuts]
BTW: I think Attention: Deficit is a fantastic album and I'm not even from the DMV! On top of that, I wasn't always a Wale believer either. In fact I thought the Mixtape About Nothing was way overrated & over-hyped but the Back to the Feature mixtape turned me around (pause) and the album itself delivers: a complete listen top-to-bottom with virtually no rewind material, great production, real songs with melodies, hooks and concepts and good spit game from Wale that's not just all swaggerific throwaways. I asked on twitter which debut was better: Wale or Cudi's? Obviously I'm biased 'cos I don't love Cudi's album too tough (although I will admit, its grown on me) but only one dude there has really engaged me in a discussion on the topic so I open it up here even though getting people to comment on this site is like pulling teeth. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
