Reach for the brighest star...




Drizabone only CD to date. They were an international ensemble of dance music led by the record producers Billy April and Vincent Garcia. They used various female vocalists to provide the vocal element to their output. Sophie Jones sang for them the first couple of singles, but it was really with Atlanta's own Kymberley Peer that they reached their sweet spot. I don't know what happened to them. It's a rare sleeper hit that's currently out of print and a true collectors item. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!


El unico CD que saco Drizabone en 1994. Banda internacional de musica dance con una vibra al estilo Northern Soul / Neo-Soul liderada por los productores Billy April y Vincent Garcia. Usaron varias cantantes para darle el componente vocal a sus composiciones. Sophie Jones canto con ellos algunos de los primeros sencillos, pero fue realmente Kymberley Peer de Atlanta, Georgia la cual le dio la voz inconfundible a esta alta banda. No se que sucedio con ellos. Pero este disquillo es un hit desconocido que esta completamente agotado (solo una tirada) y es ahora un autentico disco de colleccion. Espero que lo disfruten tanto como lo he disfrutado yo!

aaahmmm, so i just discovered that i'm fierce...




New York underground dance duo Uncanny Alliance is (was) the real deal. Two friends feeling on the outside looking in decide to get together and put out a track as a sort of answer to Crystal Waters' then popular club track 'Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)'. The rest is in-the-know underground dance history. Some of the best campy quotes from the glorious clubbin' days of early 90's New York City downtown scene. If you didn't know, now you know. Drag queens be using some tracks on here, so you know it stands the test of time and campiness. 'The Groove Won't Bite', out of print for quite a while now, CD copies of this if you can find them are around 30-40 bucks. Enjoy!

Alrededor de principio de los 90's, dos amigos Nueva Yorkinos se juntan para hacer su propio tema dance en respuesta al exito de Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" sin darle mucha importancia a cosas como su popularidad y el alcance que tendria en el circuito under de la musica electronica en Nueva York. Casi sin saberlo, compusieron un clasico 'under' de musica house que camina la delicada linea entre lo cursi y lo netamente creativo de manera divertida. Aqui les dejo entonces 'The Groove Won't Bite'. Agotado hace ya muchos años, copias del CD rondan los 30-40 dolares aqui en los Estados Unidos. ¡Disfruten!
