Record of the week: Sweet Cream - Sweet Cream & Ot Record of the week: Sweet Cream - Sweet Cream & Other Delights 

The Ridgeway Sisters present yet another take on Herb Alpert's legendary "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" cover with this magnificent Disco album from 1978. It is the only album by sisters Gloria, Esther and Gracie under the name Sweet Cream, who were frequently employed as session singers. "I don’t know what I’d do (if you ever left me)" is truly a Disco dancefloor smash hit and one of the highlights on this consistently strong album.

Finally, a word on the album cover: “Whipped Cream…” is indeed a piece of pop culture and has since become one of the most parodied album covers in music history (and Pat Cooper’s “Spaghetti Sauce & Other Delights” is my favourite).

I’m watching the documentary at the moment – it’s really interesting and gripping. There’s a lot to discover about the early days of electronic dance music…

Record of the week: Rolling Stones - Foreign tongu Record of the week: Rolling Stones - Foreign tongues 

There are some records that I simply have to buy. That goes, of course, for the Rolling Stones’ 25th studio album as well. I’d buy it simply for the sake of completeness, even if Mick Jagger were to spend the entire 45 minutes of the album blowing a comb.

But thankfully that’s not the case, so I’ve ended up with a lovely double album, featuring some really strong tracks (in my opinion "Rough and Twisted", "Mr Charm") and a top-class cover version of an Amy Winehouse song plus a nice T-shirt.

But will it really be the Stones’ final release? Who knows…

Nuevos Rios A new release from the ZZK Records la Nuevos Rios

A new release from the ZZK Records label, a new musical project and a new record on my shelf, which I’m sure will also feature during my DJ sets. The Colombian band Canalón de Timbiquí, featuring singer Nidia Góngora, and Reco Reco from Toulouse are involved in this project, which blends Afro-Colombian sounds with electronic instruments. A generous helping of marimba and percussion, a touch of Reggae, some Tropical Bass influences and plenty of soul result in an album that’s sure to go down a treat on the dancefloor. Highly recommended!

Record of the week: Tower of Power - Urban Renewal Record of the week: Tower of Power - Urban Renewal 

Even if it’s hot outside, we’re still keeping it funky! Tower of Power is one of the longest-running R&B, Soul and Funk bands, and this 1975 album is a real cracker! And what a line-up: Lenny Williams, Chester Thompson and David Garibaldi, to name but a few. If you’re into Jamiroquai’s Acid Jazz from the 90s, you should definitely give this album a listen.

It’s one of those typical "wait, I recognise this" It’s one of those typical "wait, I recognise this" moments when the first track on this record starts. Yes, that’s of course a sample used in "A Roller Skating Jam named Saturdays" by De La Soul (2Pac also sampled the track). And the track "Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl)" was actually Instant Funk’s only big hit. The rest of the album? A solid mix of Funk, R&B and Disco.

Record of the week: T-Connection - Magic Let’s s Record of the week: T-Connection - Magic 

Let’s start with the cover: I love the image with its 70s colours, slightly grainy, plus that brilliant font and a sturdy, thick cardboard sleeve – the sort of thing you don’t see on records anymore.

The music? Ah yes, T-Connection hailed from the Bahamas and cooked up a sizzling mix of Funk and Disco, releasing eight albums before the band split up in 1984 – and this was their debut. I’ll definitely be playing the track "Do What You Wanna Do" at "Friday Night Fever" at the @schlosskellerdarmstadt. So come along!

Record of the week: Rufus feat. Chaka Khan - Rags Record of the week: Rufus feat. Chaka Khan - Rags to Rufus 

The Chicago-based band Rufus was a major name in American Funk music and marked the start of the incomparable Chaka Khan’s career. Their second album, "Rags to Rufus" (1974), was a huge success – and rightly so. Sharp riffs (it’s no coincidence that Tone Loc sampled the opening of “You Got the Love” for his track “On Fire”), tight beats and Chaka Khan’s great voice create an album that no funk collection should be without.

In 2022, I was introduced to this record by @tremm In 2022, I was introduced to this record by @tremmal_ewu during a sunny DJ evening at F.Minthe (which, sadly, no longer exists) in Mainz. The track was cool, and I made a mental note of the album by the band Strutt. I’ve finally bought it now – a lovely mix of Soul, Funk and Disco from 1976, and incidentally the only album by this New Jersey band.

Record of the week: Johnny Guitar Watson - A real Record of the week: Johnny Guitar Watson - A real mother 

The cover of the 1977 album „A Real Mother“ is certainly right up there among the craziest record covers of the 70s (in my opinion).

Musically, Johnny Guitar Watson had turned to Funk in the 70s, but his Blues roots are unmistakable. And so here we have a groovy mix of Funk, Soul, R&B and Blues, featuring a magnificent title track. On the back cover there’s a dedication written in ballpoint pen; the record was apparently once a 18th birthday present (I love details like that on second-hand vinyl).

Record of the week: Chic - same Another 70s-styl Record of the week: Chic - same 

Another 70s-style soft-focus cover whose purpose I just can’t quite grasp. Why are the two models, Valentine Monnier and Alva Chinn, blowing whistles, and why aren’t they mentioned in the cover text? And why did Ben Bernie’s odd “Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah” phrase absolutely have to be included in the otherwise brilliant track “Dance, Dance, Dance”? Questions upon questions about the 1977 debut album by the legendary disco group Chic. What remains is a funky record that I’ll definitely be taking along for my DJ set tomorrow!

25 Jahre. Unzählige Erinnerungen. Höhen und Tief 25 Jahre. 
Unzählige Erinnerungen. 
Höhen und Tiefen. Lachen, Chaos, Herausforderungen und Momente, die uns für immer geprägt haben.

Aber egal, was kam: Wir haben immer zusammengehalten. 
Als Paar. Als Familie. Als echtes Team.

Ehrlich gesagt fĂĽhlt es sich nicht nach 25 Jahren an, sondern nach einem gemeinsamen Leben voller Geschichten, Vertrauen und echter Verbundenheit.

Nicht perfekt sein hat uns stark gemacht. 
Immer wieder füreinander da sein hat uns unzerstörbar gemacht.

Danke fĂĽr 25 Jahre an meiner Seite. 
Und danke fĂĽr dieses GefĂĽhl von Zuhause, egal wo wir gerade im Leben stehen.

Auf uns. Heute. Morgen. Und alles, was noch kommt. 

25 years. 
Countless memories. 
Highs and lows. Laughter, chaos, challenges and moments that have shaped us forever.

But no matter what came our way, we always stuck together. 
As a couple. As a family. As a real team.

To be honest, it doesn’t feel like 25 years, but rather a life together full of stories, trust and genuine connection.

Not being perfect has made us strong. 
Always being there for one another has made us indestructible.

Thank you for 25 years by my side. 
And thank you for this feeling of home, no matter where we are in life right now.

Here’s to us. Today. Tomorrow. And everything that lies ahead. ❤️

Record of the week: Wild Cherry - same Many band Record of the week: Wild Cherry - same 

Many bands don’t find success straight away. Singer and guitarist Rob Parissi initially tried his hand at Rock music with his band Wild Cherry (named after a packet of cough sweets), but without success. It was only after a fresh start and a switch to a danceable Funk/Disco mix that the breakthrough came. "Play That Funky Music" became a massive hit in 1976. Both the single and the self-titled debut album went platinum.

And the album cover features a sexy 70s soft-focus look (there were certainly some memorable covers in the 70s, but more on that later).
