Deep, Down & Discofied is an album of classic Soul, Jazz, Disco and Funk dancefloor inspirations. HipHop, House and R'n'B music are intrinsically linked. They share the same deep musical roots & influences that are rarely given the credit or exposure that they deserve. As a result today's artists, producers and remixers consistently draw inspiration from classic, often obscure, Soul, Jazz, Funk and Disco tracks, and subsequently the pioneers of these genres are, arguably, directly responsible for many of today's biggest dance floor cuts..
This first edition of Defected's new Deep Down & Discofied series contains a small selection of some of the many tracks that have inspired its curator, label boss Simon Dunmore, through the years, records that touched his soul at varying points on his journey through clubland. A few of the choices are pure indulgence but most of the inclusions are now part of dancefloor history and, more importantly, they are now the inspiration for many a classic Hip Hop, House or R'n'B anthem, either as a straight cover version or as a sampled, twisted groove revitalised for a brand new audience.
Joining the dots between old and new flavours brings together records from Jenny Burton (whose ‘Bad Habit' was used so effectively in Defected's own A.T.F.C. single), Salsoul Orchestra (another heavily sampled classic in ‘Take Some Time Out For Love'), Teddy Pendergrass (think DJ Sneak's Chicago House classic ‘You Can't Hide From Your Bud') and the prototype for Stardust's ‘Music Sounds Better With You' from Chaka Khan alongside newly created disco infused songs from Martin Solveig and Ron Hall & The MuthaFunkaz. A clear indication that the musical power of the past is still shaping the sounds of the future.
The primary purpose of the series is to present some of the Soul, Jazz, Funk and Disco gems that have inspired much contemporary dance music to a new, younger audience who may not be aware of the heritage embedded in their favourite anthems, as well as providing a lovingly crafted listening experience for fans of the mentioned genres and beyond.
The first Deep Down & Discofied album also comes on three double vinyl LPs, bringing the selected tunes to DJs, collectors and those wanting to delve a little deeper inside contemporary electronic music. The 2CDs are crafted and sequenced so that individual tracks can be played by DJs, making this a must have collection for the growing band of those preferring to spin from the format.
Premium quality foiled packaging further makes the compilation highly collectible.With so much talent and material to choose from, the next instalment is already underway - get Deep Down & Discofied with Defected ,a collection dedicated to the rare grooves and classics that in many cases have survived their creators and the labels that first brought them to our attention.
