Janice

Happy Labor Day! Here is a Salsoul dance classic to put you in the mood.  "Janice (Don't Be So Blind To Love)" by Skip Mahoney.  Released in 1980, this disco gem never disappoints with the flawless production by James Purdie and arrangement by Matthew Allen.   This mix is by legendary Dj Bobby "DJ" Guttadaro.  Guttadaro became one of the first DJ's that made a name for himself in the 70's and transition from the decks to mixing and remixing.  Rumor has it he used to party hardy with the late Whintey Houston. He was the resident dj at the Ice Palace in Fire Island and contributed to the music selection for the Casablanca Records and Filmworks soundtrack  Thank Got It's Friday. In Manhattan, he was the resident dj at Le Jardin and Infinity. He also did many mixes for the early development period of Disconet.  Sadly he was one of the first Dj's who succumbed and passed from AIDS in the '80s.  I'm sure he is one of the leading Dj's in Disco Heaven.  This is a gorgeous song that will sure lift up.  Enjoy!

A True Example

Here is a beautiful disco tune perfect for those romantic evenings at home or maybe to be played during the winding hours of the night.  "As Long As You Love Me" was released in 1977 as a B side from Salsoul Record's release of  "Love Is Finally Coming My Way".  It was produced by brothers Joe, Stan and Ken Cayre and mixed with love by the amazing DJ/Producer Walter Gibbons. Recently I heard a Justin Vandervolgen remix of Soft Rock's "Talking Jungle" where he samples the chorus from this song and let me tell you that this remix is going to be huge on my list. Can't wait to get my hands on it when this is released.  In the meantime let's embrace True Example's "As Long As You Love Me". Enjoy
