TZ - I Got the Hots For You

This is some good old fashioned NYC early 80's sleaze.

I became a dance music addict after going to Club Shelter in New York. I still go there. The next few posts are songs that Shelter's DJ, Timmy Regisford, played some role in making.

Timmy and Boyd Jarvis collaborated on a few tracks that came out in this period. The best known (and one of my all-time faves) is probably Visual's The Music's got Me. This track, under the name TZ, is from 1983 on Street Sounds records.

I Got the Hots For You

Theo Vaness - Sentimentally It's You

This a re-edit I did. The original has a really tacky vocal part - so I essentially just snipped that out. I heard Danny Krivit play this once, and I've pretty much copied his edit. DJ alert - mixes well with You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real).

The photo is a lot to handle.

One Way featuring Al Hudson - Music

I tracked this one down on eBay after searching for quite a while. Another big track by One Way was Spread Love. I really like Music - it has a nice late-night vibe.

MCA records from 1979.

Popular

Here are a few popular tracks in cased you missed them the first time around:

Roni Griffith - Spys
Jean Wells - I Just Can't Stop Dancing
That Thing - That Thing
Billy Paul - False Faces

Visual - The Music Got Me

This track is one of my favorites. Synth bass lines don't get much better than this.

Visual was Boyd Jarvis and Timmy Regisford. They put out a handful of songs under that name and this one was on Prelude records in 1983. Mr. Jarvis still puts out some great music from time to time. Mr. Regisford is the dj and owner at Club Shelter in New York and can't seem to stop putting out great music on his Restricted Access label.

This is the instrumental version mixed by Tony Humphries.


The Music Got Me

Viola Wills - Gonna Get Along Without You Now

This is one for the prance-theon. Sugar Hill Records from 1979. I had this 12" for a long time before I realized how brilliant it is. Check out the cheap effects during the break.

Evelyn "Champagne" King - I Don't Know If It's Right

Evelyn "Champagne" King had a monster hit with Shame. A few of her other tracks are quite good, too. I Don't Know If It's Right is from 1977 on RCA. This is a re-edit I did of the "Disco Mix."
