I agree with the sentiment and thank you for it, but the Thelma Houston edit was done by Danny Krivit, not yours truly.

[Edit by Mr K] always refers to him (and not to me)!

🎵 So glad to be back with a bit of time to stream after a busy summer schedule!

Please join us for 'World of Echoes' (Equinox Edition), my next stream this Sunday September 21, 2025 on mixcloud.com/live/fknyc starting at 3PM EST (20:00 GMT, 21:00 CET, 04:00 Japan).

Looking forward to it already!

This was in-person only.

Hope you can join us for "Balearic Sunset" where Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy and yours truly will be going B2B on the rooftop at Le Bain NYC later today Sunday September 7 starting at 4PM! Free entry, but you must RSVP on RA (link below)

Weather looks good!

Can't wait to see you!

This song is part of a dynamite 3-track EP which came out as a hard-to-get RCA promo release. It's full-on #disco with all the orchestral trimmings. Timeless and still very effective.

Flyer for World of Echoes stream on Sunday April 13, 2025

🎵 Please join us for 'World of Echoes', my next stream which will happen this Sunday April 13, 2025 on mixcloud.com/live/fknyc starting at 3PM EST (20:00 GMT, 21:00 CET, 04:00 Japan).

A reminder that Mixcloud comes with lovely audio quality for a more immersive session!

[Pro Tip] For those who are daunted by the exorbitant price of the US 12", it's an edit!

The same long version can be created by taking the section from the 7" that starts at 0:54 until 2:42 and then paste it again at 2:42 and you'll have your 12" version (in digital). Or rock 2 copies of the 7"!

VIP Connection "West Coast Drive" (1976)

Enigmatic outfit which was revealed to be the French team of studio musicians behind Voyage and Arpadys turning out this very tight slice of funky #disco with all the trimmings. Still sounding amazing today!

Do follow my profile there so that you can get notifications. Also, Mixcloud's streams have great sound quality!

The first person I heard playing it was Walter Gibbons at Galaxy 21. The groove was like 'drums of thunder' courtesy of Harvey Mason, but also had so many mind-blowing little sub-melodies and hooks and THAT ORGAN. Wait! How about the intro vocal? I'm probably still trying to process all of it.

Johnny Hammond "Los Conquistadores Chocolates" (1975)

Not sure I can adequately describe what this mesmerizing record sounded like when I first heard it in 76. It was everything, #jazz #funk #disco, the past as well as the future. Still is, in fact.

Truly adorable and very original piece of music that could have only been produced by the polymath crew at Compass Point, starring Adrian Belew's genius guitar wailing with Steven Stanley on the mix!
