But not really, because Archie Bell got shot in the leg during his stint in Vietnam, so he couldn’t really wild out at shows touring for his platinum single Tighten Up in 1968. No one writes R&B/soul/funk/dance songs like this anymore; ideal for any situation, e.g. massive dance party, making sweet love, or blogging in an overpriced coffee shop. The truth don’t age.

I love old-school dance tracks as well as the new ish DJs “spin” at 320kbs. At least once a week I’ll juxtapose some old soul/r&b/funk with some new electro/ghettobit/trashcrunk.

This week

Then: The Bar-Kays - Holy Ghost. Somethin’ funky from Memphis circa 1978.

Now: Buddy Akai - Cut Me Up (Villains Remix) - A Mexican/Spanish electro outfit from San Diego, remixed by L.A.’s Villains. Heard this in the club the other night, so fresh.
