Vietcong Disco on A Downtown Affair

vietcongdisco

Stegs and Russ of Vietcong Disco were kind enough to stop by the program for a special guest set on September 18th, touching on some early soul & classics while keeping the boogie ‘n R&B close to heart. Peace to VCD, and be sure to keep up with what they’ve got going on.

Foreal People ADA Guest Set

Over the next few weeks we’ll be sifting through the archives to post up old shows that for one reason or another never made it to the site. One of the first that comes to mind is the Foreal People guest set with DJs Love On The Run, Benguin and Josh Dunn. They made it to the studios last fall with deep selections ranging from disco floor fillers to modern soul obscurities.

Wine Coolers

When looking in the bins for early 80s boogie, you wade through a lot of heavy r&b from the same era while looking for something to play to the dance floor. For every uptempo, drum and synth driven heater, there is a syrupy, quiet storm B side or album cut. Even if you’re only looking for the former, you’ll end up hearing some slow records because its like everybody had their shirts unbuttoned and was rocking blue leather pants in ‘83. If you don’t recognize the names on the labels, you’ve got to throw it on to find out if its gonna sound like Kano or Peabo.
