V.A. / French Disco Boogie Sounds :1975-1984 (2LP)

近年發行了數枚好評的地區型音樂場景主題黑膠合輯，法國廠牌Favorite Recordings這次帶來的是他們的家鄉之聲《French Disco Boogie Sounds》，以1975-1984 在法國當地蓬勃的Disco舞曲場景為主軸，並尋求了當地最資深的唱片藏家與DJ的協助，他們搜羅了這段期間最能代表此音樂場景的精選之作，其中數首曲目在當時是由法屬加勒比海和非洲社區的地下藝術家和唱片公司製作，無形之中融入了熱情的熱帶印記與原始精神，不僅是俗爛更是未來，在之中可以嗅到不少CityPop或是FutureFunk的根源之味，挖掘的樂趣莫過於此。

After the release of Brazilian Disco Boogie Sounds (FVR098), Favorite Recordings follows-up, this time focusing on its homeland language.

Helped by a close connoisseur friend, DJ and collector Charles Maurice presents a fine selection of what he thinks represent best the amazing energy of this specific movement and period. With 10 rare titles, all produced between 1975 and 1984, he shows a perfect picture of what you could find in French record stores at that time;

On one hand, tracks by Overdrive, Marché Noir, Didier Makaga or France-Lise, were produced by underground artists and labels from the French Caribbean and African community and also filled with the raw spirit of this Tropical stamping. On the other hand, tracks by Beckie Bell, Kelly, Le Club, or Bernard Guyvan, were released by major labels such as Trëma, Carrere, Disques Vogue, or Pathé Marconi, thanks to confirmed independent producers, acting not only in France, but also in Canada and the US.

Today, Favorite Recordings and Charles Maurice are very proud to shed some light again on these gems, and hopefully offer them a new life on your turntable.
