**Bostonians Are Trippy Too**

I've had this 7'' of a while. The feature song I dig on this is called "K One Hour" released in 1993 on Lunar Rotation Records out of Boston.
It's trippy, errie & yet beautiful.
Recorded at Vortex Studios, Vermont: Oct '93
::Cul de Sac, a band whose name was taken from a Roman Polanski film, is Boston's original post rock granddaddy formed in 1989. They continue to record, release music & tour.

*Dick Beats & Hard House Bootlegs*

I've been a on a steady vinyl archiving pace over the past few weeks & I keep coming across these early house bootleg comp 12''s with songs I know I will never hear anyone play.
Here's one of the records. I like the entire side & of course 4am is a very under rated classic.
This particular song is called
"Dick Beats" produced by Techno & Datboy on Tech Grooves Vol. 1..

**She-Rockers Jams, Professor Griff Samples, Carly Simon Just Stands There**

English Hip-Hop duo She-Rockers made a string of 12'' singles for Jive records & Music of Life label in the early 90's. One of their bigger songs (Give It A Rest) was produced by Public Enemy's former lead S1W & controversial figure Professor Griff.
The thing about this song is that he jacked Carly Simon's early 80's hit "Why" which at the time was remixed by Chic band members & writers Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers. It eventually became a Paradise Garage classic after Larry Levan started throwing the remix as a part of his dj sets..

*One of Many 12'' Bootlegs From Brooklyn's Beat Street Records Store*

Disco Dub is a bootleg 12'' I got in the early 90's & I still love it. If you're a head or a dj that buys re-issues or still goes to NYC's Rock & Soul Records store to get 12''bootleg disco/funk/NYC party thrown down singles then you own this 12'' with the green label, I got mine from the legendary but now defunk Beat Street Records.
Disco Dub:: On JD Records ...
