Johnny D: Presents Disco Jamms 2CD

Another super useful comp from the good peoples at BBE. This time they tap Johnny D of Henry Street Music fame for an excellent selection of (mostly) early 80’s floor fillers and groovers. The selection here rides the line between disco, boogie, italo/NRG and proto-house with the common theme being that they will get people feeling good and dancing the night away. Check the sound on classics from Mahogany, Klein & MBO, Cerrone and Ashford & Simpson, right next to more obscure cuts and hard to find dubs from Lafleur, Sass, Kasso, B Beat Girls, Gaucho and more. Also includes a superb mixed version from Johnny D himself! Recommended.
