To tie in with second installment of Supafunkanova (ZEDD 034CD/LP), Z Records presents a repackaged reissue of Vol. 1, originally released on double CD in 2007. Disco historians and top deckhands Joey Negro and Sean P cast the net yet wider with Supafunkanova, another retrospective of outstanding 12" tracks from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Unearthing 24 gems from their respective colossal record collections, the groovesome twosome pull together some of the original backstreet 12"s that put funk into the disco decades. It's a collection sure to please all. The hard-bitten funk fan is likely to find something previously unknown and the newly initiated disco boogie fan will find this a great place to start digging. There's even an exclusive remix by Joey Negro of the old school classic "We Rap More Mellow" by The Younger Generation, thrown in as an added bonus. The double CD edition features some old school rap styles from Billy Lamont & The Unn Band and South Bronx, plus some proper jazzy street funk from The Pied Piper of Funkingham and Hypertension. For the beat-focused, the double CD has some killer breaks from J. Gayle Gaymon, BLT, and Legacy. The gatefold double LP features Joey Negro's exclusive edit of Foreal People's "Love Begins With You," which appears in its original form on the double CD. Reigning in sounds from New York, South Carolina, Washington, Boston, and Los Angeles, Supafunkanova Vol. 1 is an intoxicating blend of fiercely groovy arrangements, bouncy drumbeats, and funk-driven synths. A musical mix of tracks still as likely to get the booty shaking as they were decades ago! Also includes tracks by Backlash, Leprechaun, V.I.P. Connection, Silver Lining, The Power Band, Jackie Cole & Hot Platnium Fantasy, and Johnny Adams, Needa, Jahneen, Marcia Pharr, Billy Evans, Jackie Boy & Nature's Creation, and Standing Room Only.
