Children + Boney M = 100% Italodisco Banger?!!!

(Click for Video)

What happens when you unleash Boney M on a bunch of cute kids?

Pure Electro Magic.

I recently picked up a CD of Italodisco hits in the bargain bin section of the internet and my favorite song by far is “Happy Song” by Baby’s Gang. This song was a number one hit in Europe twice! The first time in 1983 for Baby’s Gang in their native Italy, the second time as a cover by Boney M the following year.

Information on Baby’s Gang is scant on the internet, sources say they were on Memory Records, a minorly succesful Italo-disco label. But if Italodisco means nothing to you, think of Baby’s Gang as:

(Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. – Michael Jackson) x (Outrunners + Kavinsky + Muscles)

Which should equal EPIC in anyone’s book.

A truly happy song for the weekend.

Here is the “Extended Dancefloor Version” in 320 for you DJ’s/mp3 hustlers, I guarantee it will bring the heat at your local party.

Goldfish; no pets here just jazz

An apparent love for all things electronic coupled with saxophones, clarinets and a host of other instruments made me instantly fall for Goldfish.  Straight outta Cape Town,  Africa, this jazz duo has been cooking tunes since 2006 but recently were featured in a commercial for the Kia Soul

Their style is definitely one that caught my attention as a loungy-type but I didn’t feel like I was in a sleazy club where there was way too much sweating going on. I ended up searching more videos on these guys and found this beaute:

I hope these two videos give you some idea of what these two Africans are upto down in the Cape.

The Party Ends/Mayowa + SX70

“The party ended in 2003.”,

She said, with all her fingers pressed to her temples.

Even in this disheveled state, she still looked beautiful in the half morning light. I knew it would be the last time our shadows would dance together.
