MP3 New York Movin’
posted by on November 29 at 17:41 PM
During the 1970’s and early 80’s New York producer Peter Brown contributed to many classic soul, funk, and disco tracks, writing and producing with artists and groups like Cloud One, Shift, and Patrick Adams. Not only did help produce great music during this era, he ran numerous labels(a bit of an understatement) like Golden Flamingo Records, Queen Constance Records, Land Of Hits, and P & P Records, which he ran with Patrick Adams. I’ve always tend to enjoy the music that he has put out and produced including a 12-inch single I came across recently by a group called Ahzz. The single is titled New York’s Movin’, and it was released in 1981 off of Brown’s Land Of Hits label. This single features two excellent versions, the original vocal mix, and an instrument cut. Even though I enjoy the original vocal mix, I find myself leaning toward the instrumental version. This seven-plus minute disco gem includes percussive breakdowns, a solid bass groove, classic strings, and congas. As far as I can tell, this is the only release by this group which featured disco producers Osborne Hunter and Steve Boston. Regardless, it’s a classic disco gem that would have no trouble movin’ a dancefloor.

Wasn't Disco pretty much over by 1981?
the disco scene, perhaps. the disco music, no.
I would agree that the "mainstream" disco scene was pretty much over by 1981, however there was still some good disco music, mostly more underground, that was still coming out. A song like "New York Movin'" is somewhat proof of that. Plus artists like Gino Soccio and Cerrone where still producing great disco tracks well into the 80's as well.
Loving this track, repeatedly.
Disco's never been better--nor has my nostalgia for its glory days. *sniff*
