FIRE DEPARTMENT VOL. 3 by V/A

12” vinyl compilation pulling together a selection of smoking old skool disco funk - guaranteed party-starters every one.Kicks off with some serious squelching bass in the form of Roadway’s up-tempo boogie monster ‘Let’s Go For It’, released on the sought-after Chocolate Cholly’s label back in 1982. Next up is General Caine’s instrumental ‘L.R.J. Pop’, a relentless funk groover out of LA driven by tight percussion, pumping horns and wigged-out bass and synths. Turn over for the 12” version of Clifton Dyson’s brilliant bumping boogie cut ‘Slow Your Body Down’ followed last but not least by the rare ‘Skate Party People’ from Bobby Cash Redd, a heavy-as-hell funk jam with a fierce strident b-line, high-voltage synths and guitars originally released on tiny NYC label Duval.
