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!

A solid slice of 70s Disco Boogie from Musique, a A solid slice of 70s Disco Boogie from Musique, a studio project by Patrick Peter Owen Adams, an American producer and arranger. The title track is a Disco classic and reached the top of the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charts in 1978. By the way: A groovy album cover…

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 fühlt 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 für 25 Jahre an meiner Seite. 
Und danke für dieses Gefühl 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).

Record of the week: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - It's Record of the week: The Jimmy Castor Bunch - It's just begun 

With this album, James Walter Castor gave us his biggest hit, „Troglodyte (Cave Man)“, and provided the Hip-Hop world with a wealth of samples. „Troglodyte“, a quirky cave-man song that reached number 6 on the US Billboard charts and number 4 on the R&B charts, went on to sell over a million copies. The title track of the 1972 album is definitely my favourite. It’s definitely going in my record bag this coming Thursday.🔥

That’s why I’m always delighted to be able to play music spanning four (or five) decades at the 50/50 parties at the @centralstationdarmstadt. From ABBA, Depeche Mode and Seeed to Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo, there was plenty to enjoy – it was a journey through the history of dance music. See you next time!

Record of the week: Jinjé & A Brief Utopia - We in Record of the week: Jinjé & A Brief Utopia - We invisible 

Extremely groovy, percussive and danceable. That’s the album “We invisible” by Jinjé (aka Lee Malcolm), a DJ and producer from the UK. A cultural crossover between electronic dance music, tech house, jazz influences and a lot of African percussion instruments – and it definitely works. The BPM is high, making it perfect for a wild night on the dance floor!

Record of the week: Kraftwerk - same At last I’v Record of the week: Kraftwerk - same 

At last I’ve added this classic to my collection: The debut album by the Düsseldorf band Kraftwerk with its iconic cover.

At the time of this album’s release, there was no hint that Kraftwerk would later become pioneers of electronic music. It’s dominated by improvisations, soundscapes, ambient sounds and experimentation; the whole thing sounds like early 70s Krautrock. Noteworthy (and the reason I decided to buy it) is the first track, "Ruckzuck" – rhythmic, staccato-like, electronic and monotonous, almost danceable. The track was used in 1971 as the theme tune for the political TV programme "Kennzeichen D". The album wasn’t a commercial success, but it marks the beginning of one of the most influential German bands.

Record of the week: Ray Barretto - Together Raymu Record of the week: Ray Barretto - Together

Raymundo “Ray” Barretto Pagán was an American Latin Jazz percussionist. He played with artists including Tito Puente, Lou Donaldson, Cannonball Adderley, Joe Zawinul and Dizzy Gillespie, and was a member of the Fania All-Stars, the house band of the famous Fania record label.

In 1969, his album “Together” was released, combining Latin Jazz, Boogaloo, Afro-Cuban and Salsa sounds. The title track alone is a mega-groovy dancefloor filler. I’m delighted with my Record Store Day reissue.

This is ‘Maki II’ by the Japanese singer, songwrit This is ‘Maki II’ by the Japanese singer, songwriter and producer Maki Asakawa, released in 1971. Known as the „Queen of the Underground“ she was an important voice of Japan’s urban counterculture.

The album blends jazz, blues and country with folk influences. I find “Govinda” particularly interesting – an Indian song from Japan, a psychedelic snapshot of its time. And above it all is her smoky, throaty and somewhat drawling voice. Very interesting!
