Boogie Cartel’s Disco Corner #1

This is the bit where we say hello. We're Boogie Cartel, four chaps passionate about music with its roots in the decade between 1976 and 86 – when disco got electric and house was just being born. Dark clubs, late night encounters, neon and sleaze. There was so much musical creativity in that time that we've all picked up unhealthy vinyl habits exploring both the classic and unsung tracks from the era, which gives us enough music to put a party on at The Nest each month for anyone who wants to know.
Boogie Cartel have a monthly residency at The Nest. The next party is on 17th January, check out their Facebook page for more information.
Bobbi Humphrey is known for being one of the best jazz flautists of the fusion era, but she also released this sexual piece on Roy Ayers’ Uno Melodic in 1982. She’s got a voice that’s sweeter than bubblegum, and that bass just goes on and on, popping its head up between the beats like a disco mole. That’s without even talking about those strings.
I left this in the back of a cab on my way to an after party in Holloway. To add insult to injury the place turned out to be a squat full of wronguns. It was rubbish.
