Disco for Tigers.mp3 @320kbps

I’m no beat digger. However, anytime I am at my fav’ DAV (Disabled Army Veterans Thrift Shop) it’s time to put on my ear flapped flannel cap and get to work. Somebody living in close proximity to this spot is slowly bleeding themselves of some of the finest disco funk ever pressed, and I am reaping all the benefits!  On a recent trip I found this gem…

A must buy at first sight. Note the righteous hand drawn cover and clever kid title “Disco for Tigers”.  Turns out the music is straight disco heat too!  (Check out the Mp3 above)  Anyone who knows the track SPEAK UP! This is an old white label Columbia test Press with the only credits hand drawn on the back by the “artists”. Thanks Elizabeth Pierce & Amy Lynn Schlictermier for takin’ a funky piece of white vinyl to the next level.

Feel The Rhythm (White Girl Lust Remix) – Norrit

So we wanted to give a little shine to a remix we did for a homie Norrit. The EP dropped on Think2wice Records a few weeks ago. You can buy it here and you SHOULD. It was also a good time to have our juvenile humor erupt with a interview with the boy Norrit. Here it is…

SBR: You are signed to Think2wice Records which is run by Tactic. Who is sexier, Brent or Ben? Why?

Norrit: c) none of the above, oooh! bonk!

Shock G answered: Well, D is what I do, so, yo, listen up:
I put a towel on the floor by the two inch gap under the door
Now they can’t see me any more.
Check the locks so they can’t clock, but they can listen.
There’ll be no bargin’ in and there’ll be no dissin’ [Dissin']

SBR: a) You are a full time superstar DJ… groupies, limos, and Ibiza status but to maintain this life you have to get hot and heavy with a repulsive crackhead once a month for an hour. Her wish is your command.

b) Have only one good gig a month but you work as the person that shovels horse crap as a full time day job to support yourself. No chance at upward mobility in either case.

Norrit: b, I have priorities, namely upper body strength.

SBR: Personally I think it’s utterly amazing start to stop but if you had to change something in the White Girl Lust remix of “Feel The Rhythm”, what would it be? More cowbell? A “think” breakbeat? Live recordings from an SF bath house?

Norrit: Ya’ll shoulda put a banging donk onnit! Have you heard that Blackout Crew remix of Metronomy? Shit ruuuules!

When I was 16 years old I had a busted Mercury Tracer. The soundtrack to the car was this mixtape. That and Ice Cube’s “Death Certificate” never left the ride. The only connection those two things had was how funky they were. That connection prolly confused my brain to make WGL what it is today. Funky things that connect only in our brains.

Denver and SF always had a big connection with the style of house music they liked. The Wicked Crew dudes, Dubtribe, and Carlos were there like every week and it showed.

* MOLESTING OLD RAVER STORY*
There was this older raver guy who was part of the Denver posse that threw most these parties. He was prolly only 35 but to my 16 year old eyes he looked 65. He told my girlfriend that he would dub her all his mixtapes. One day he called her and said they were ready. She was really excited and we hopped in the car to go get them. Obviously he didn’t know I was coming because he answered the door in his tighty whitey underwear. That day taught me a lot about life. Don’t trust people who have partied more than you have.
