Today's compilation:

Hed Kandi: Disco Kandi 2000 House / Garage House / Nu-Disco

Good God, what a terrific pair of discs here from the ever-consistent dance comp label Hed Kandi. With this first ever installment in their Disco Kandi series, the UK outfit supplies a steady stream of ephemeral house bangers from the late 90s and 2000, with a lot of the selections sounding contemporary, but also managing to channel an invigorating old-school disco spirit too. And many of these glitz-glammy, high-quality productions also collectively continue to progress from the sonic tradition that first started in famed New York DJ Larry Levan's Paradise Garage nightclub in the late 70s, where he nurtured a more vocally soulful and R&B-rooted house sound into the late 80s that would come to be known simply as 'garage.' And after the Paradise Garage's closure, that garage sound would find popularity at a club in New Jersey called Zanzibar too, where Tony Humphries would continue to spin it.

Now, despite a few of these tracks having somewhat remarkably high YouTube play counts, all of them were and still are definitely underground; that is, except for one. And this particular tune that I'm referring to wasn't just mainstream, but it really managed to lace the hell out of a lot of US contemporary hit radio stations back in the late 90s, even though it only ended up peaking at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100, overall. Basically, if you tuned into your local pop or more dance-oriented station on anything close to a regular basis back then, there's almost no way that you could've avoided one-off supertrio Stars on 54's cover of Gordon Lightfoot's 1970 soft folk-rock classic, "If You Could Read My Mind," which saw Amber, Jocelyn Enriquez, and Ultra Naté teaming up to record a song for the soundtrack to the disco period flick, 54. Really classic radio gold right there that a lot of people probably haven't thought about in a long while.

And then just as you're finished reminiscing on whatever fond memories you might hold that are associated with that particular song, quite possibly the most impressive track of all within this two-disc set ends up directly following it: the Matthew Roberts and Richard Fite remix of Eclipse's "Makes Me Love You." This one has a big, sun-shining pool party vibe to it, as it combines lustrous disco strings, funkily plucked guitar, a fuzzy-thick corrugated bassline, and piano keys, all while employing a lovely filter technique, which is that really popular thing that house musicians got to doing around this time period, in which certain elements sound distant and submerged, and as they continuously loop, keep sounding closer and clearer, until they satisfyingly breach the surface and hit their glorious peak. And that's maybe my favorite type of house music in the whole world 😊.

So, a really enjoyable way to spend over two and a half hours here, with a hefty dose of  super sleek house tunes, a lot of which are on a nu-disco and garage tip. And it was collected by the always seemingly on point Hed Kandi label too, which has never steered me wrong before!

the brief resurgence of freestyle music in the mid to late 1990s was a time! after losing clout at radio and club land at the start of the 1990s, freestyle music was being (re)discovered thanks in part to collage, lil suzy, planet soul featuring nadine rene, lina santiago, and jocelyn enriquez. these artists all managed to release freestyle songs that were sonically in concert with the ever-evolving dance/pop sound.

as a new fan to genre in 1994, coupled with the fact that i am a completionist, i was on a search to listen and purchase every freestyle song and that especially included new releases. so when i first heard buffy’s “give me…a reason” in early 1995, i was on a mission.

now, doing this work was not easy in 1995. my access to the internet was by watching people talk about it on tv (lol) and music magazine’s seldom, if almost never covered freestyle music. so i would just spend hours in the singles section of tower records records going through every CD single until i thought i recognized a title of a song i was looking for. it was WORK!

discovered by frequent stevie b. collaborator dadgel atabay while singing at a friend's wedding, buffy solango landed on billboard's hot 100 in 1996 with "give me...a reason." signed to filipino independent label velocity records, buffy's debut single "give me... a reason" quickly became a regional hit in the bay area upon its release in late 1994.

"give me...a reason" landed on radio playlists nationally and finally reached a respectable peak of #78 on billboard's hot 100 in late march 1996. buffy‘a debut and only album “first love” was a solid release. two additional singles, “no one” and “2 find u” were released by were regulated to regional airplay.

2022 Reading Wrapped Part II

In the Spring I got a part time job at the local library which was great motivation to kick my reading into high gear. It's hard to be around books all day and not want to take them all home. Let's just say my TBR list stretches farther than my lifetime.

Being surrounded by books is great motivation to read, but so is being surrounded by nature. My partner and I both enjoy the outdoors, and I've been known to spend hours lounging around outside with a good book. We got a hammock stand to bring with us on camping trips which has really spoiled me when it comes to travel.

Tips for squeezing in more reading:

Bring a book with you when you're away from home. Or have an audiobook downloaded on your phone with some earbuds handy. Case in point, last night I was picking up a birthday gift at the bookstore and was stuck in a long line with nothing to do. I pulled out my headphones and listened to a few minutes of my audiobook (Five Tuesdays in Winter by Lily King, in case you were wondering) while waiting. If you're riding public transit, stuck in an airport during a layover, or even just waiting at the doctor's office - having a book makes the waiting less annoying.

Find a cozy, but not too cozy, spot to read. I've found that reading at the kitchen table is great when I'm waiting for something to finish baking, but if I sit too long on the hard kitchen chairs my butt goes to sleep and I get uncomfortable. If I read in bed, it better be a compelling book or I'll go right to sleep. Reading in front of the TV is not recommended. A coffee shop can be a good place to read if you need to get away from the laundry piling up. Libraries are free and quiet and generally have comfortable (but not too comfortable) seating. A blanket on the lawn is also great.

Take advantage of the resources around you for reading recommendations. While working at the library I met tons of avid readers who had loads of recommendations, and folks would come in and ask for suggestions from me as well. It's a community built around readers! Libraries are a unique space - they're free, they're protectors of democracy and intellectual freedom, and they're open to everyone. Patronizing them is critical to their survival.

Here's what I read April through June of 2022:

Harlem Shuffle - Colson Whitehead*

My Monticello - Jocelyn Nicole Johnson*

The Honjin Murders - Seishi Yokomizo

My Sister, The Serial Killer - Oyinkan Braithwaite*

Things We Lost in the Fire - Mariana Enriquez*
