Vaughn Mason & Crew - Bounce Rock Skate & Roll [probably the 1st 12" I got that I decided Disco was OK] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hta6TTs-WnQ
Zapp - More Bounce To The Ounce [ found the 7" version of this recently] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZleLqACdEGE

cool ! I don't have the Brunswick two parts 12" myself, but a netherlands repress with Rocking big guitar on the B side
if you're a fan of Zapp-like synths, it's coming back since some years

The gap band - The gap band
http://www115.zippyshare.com/v/oUvdZtYG/file.html
I don't know why but for some reason the first Gap band album and this one are pretty often ignored. maybe thats's because of their dumb idea of naming them "Gap band 1", "Gap band 2" and so on after they went on the Mercury label and successful, but whatever strong Sly and the family stone influence for this recommended 1977 output
Martin L Dumas - Attitude, belief & determination / Non-stop to the top :
https://youtu.be/FzvtM6lvsEo

Greyship Daviz - Traffic (cheek to cheek bumper to bumper) / This groove is on the loose) :

Brainstorm - Stormin'
http://www4.zippyshare.com/v/6JUZLvTL/file.html
straight from the genius mind of Jerry Peters, this 1977 album shines with consistency. some people will prefer the second LP, but as far as I'm concerned this one takes the cake

Syl Johnson - Come on sock it to me / Try me :

Hey, glad to see these threads are still going, I'm not really around enough anymore to join in sadly, not listened to all that much lately either although the new Hot 8 albums pretty sweet.
>>72563931
hi turny ! cool to see you again, an anon told me you left for some other chan the other day

also since you like hornfull stuff have you lended an ear to Dogfood vol 2 by Horndogz ?
South Bronx - The bottom line :

>>72564031
I was checking out the spinoff board Musikchan and seeing if anything happened but its got no traffic at all so just found something else to do altogether.
I have not, will try to grab that when I get 5 cheers
>>72564157
yeah I think this board is the music board with the most traffic by far. thankfully some dedicated forums exist, and even if they're way slower the state of mind is nothing like /mu/
Infinity - Check me out :

FLB - Spacin' out
http://www61.zippyshare.com/v/kRGcYFzC/file.html
as the tree hides the forest, Fat Larry's band output has been severely burried under the successof Act like you know. why, I don't know, but it's great and shouldn't remain this way, like for this 1978 LP they just signed "FLB" for whatever reason

The Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens band - The Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens band
http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/cfljsLGw/file.html
without a doubt on of the highlights of the Malavasi/Petrus/Romani trio, and maybe the best BB&Q album with their 1985 one. all shnining classics, with Pewwe Ford on bass and Luther Vandross on backing vocals among others

http://www117.zippyshare.com/v/eqsM0m4p/file.html
all aboard to end up with one big classic, this 1975 smashing LP by the godsons themselves, the JB's. what's there to say that hasn't already been, I don't know, but I sure do listen and enjoy this ride
