If You Read My Mind...

I'll Pop One more in the Trunk for ya.. Cos Who Knows how long it will be till I post again Hopefully not too long! This next jam is another Piece of Serious Pressure. Its By Columbus Circle and is called "If You Read My Mind" which was released again in 1982 on 12" on ELEKTRA Records. I first heard this Joint on a Maurice Fulton Mix. This Tune has some Crazy Synth action on it along with slinky guitar and Booming bass. I love the break around the 5 Minute mark and the Layering on this track.. Just feel good Dancefloor Boogie. The Vocals are also Rockin and its a Great Late Night Jam at 8 and half Minutes. This track is all about the Synth Lines.. I hope you can get the Roller-skates on and Jam On it! Salute!

Let's Dance (The Passage)

Hello all, Haven't blogged for what seems a long time, so I thought i'd show some love! Been diggin around various spots on the Web and around Melbourne still on the Pressure vibe and found this Amazing joint From "The Evasions" Called "Let's Dance (The Passage). Gotta give Credit to my man El Parisino For Spotting this one For me! This Joint is the B-side to Jocks Rap (The Passage) which was a spooof of Grandmaster Flash's The Message. When I go to New York Im going to try and Hunt this Classic down on 12". Let's Dance Was released in 1982 on 12" on GROOVE PRODUCTION RECORDS. This jam is kinda like a sped Up version of "The Message" added with an Awesome Vocal Hook. Took me a while to find this track I only ever though The Evasions did "Wikka Wrap". This tune is Very much the style I dig for that Tough "Boom-Box" Boogie. I hope you all ride out to this one is an absolute Classic peice of Pressure! Peace!

Groovin' (On A Love Song)...

A Beer has been popped, Going to keep Posting up Pressure Joints! Next one is by a Duo Called Bliss and the jam is called "Groovin' (On A Love Song)" and was released on 12" in 1982 on CITY VIEW RECORDS. This is another group that only had one jam but I guess they will never have the worry of selling out! This jam is very well Produced, again with very tight horns Bouncing piano lines,guitar tweeks and solid Vocals. Toward the end of the song it just jams out heavy! Def my Favorite part. This is such a feel good Joint Always puts me right in the mood! and can get a floor movin! Peace to tha' Pressure!

I Can't Wait To Break...

Next is more on the funk tip but still a total Jam! Its a tune by the name of "I Can't Wait To Break" By one Billy Jones which was released on 12" in 1984 on NIA records. Now if your not familiar with Billy Jones he was the guitarist for the amazing Heatwave in the early years. This tune actually reminds me of a Leroy Burgess Style Jam, I guess because of the timings and groove and drum patterns and the fact it was Produced by the Aleem Brothers! Gold!. Anyway, This is another Great jam that will get you movin! Hope you can get up on this! Salute!

Space Lady...

Its By Bill and is called "Space Lady" which was the b-side to the 12" "I Feel Good With You" which was Released in 1983 on DOLLAR BILL RECORDS. This was the only thing released by Bill making it Damn hard to track down. This track has insane Deep bass on it just bubbling along throughout the groove, classic hi-hats silky Keys & guitar also in the mix. You will be humming the chorus for days! Its a total jam! Enjoy it!

The tune is called "Looking Good" and was Released on 12" in 1982 on KALICO RECORDS. This was the only tune he released and its quite a jam!. This tune has that HI-NRG Electro Vibe happenin one that would definitely get a floors Rump shakin'.
