Crescent Street Hustlers - Kalei-Disco - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The hot new dance dance collective known as the Crescent Street Hustlers are on a mission to revive and modernize the Montreal disco scene, celebrating the great dance music that thrived in that city primarily in the late 1970s, at the height of the global disco explosion. One of the most original and colorful bands of that era, The Great Disco Bouzouki Band, married the unlikely sounds of Greek Bouzouki music to disco music, and it worked beautifully, exposing the fact that these two forms of music, above all else, was dance music at it's core. Looking back, it is not surprising that The Great Disco Bouzouki Band scored a hit with InchDisco Bouzouki.Inch Crescent Street Hustlers completely reimagine the track in modern times with the of their new single featuring 4 inventive mixes including a radio mix, an instrumental version, an extended mix and an extended instrumental mix for this exclusive .

The Montreal based dance collective known as the Crescent Street Hustlers are on a mission to revive and modernize the Canadian disco scene, celebrating the great dance music that thrived in that city primarily in the late 1970s, at the height of the global disco explosion. Signed to the recently revived Afro Wax Records imprint - the tag that turned the world on to the sounds of speed garage and progressive house music, the Hustlers have been hard at work - making magic happen in the studio and continually perfecting their craft. Focusing on the original artists that made the Montreal scene sizzle, CSH have drawn on some of the biggest hits of the era - from the esoteric sounds of The Great Disco Bouzouki Band (represented by their hit InchDisco BouzoukiInch), to the sound of Canada's most prolific disco producers, the great Tony Green and his projects such as the groups Colorblind (InchKalei-DiscoInch), Metal Weeds (InchSunshine LoveInch) and Fusion (InchSais-Tu Pourquoi'), the funky disco sounds of Sunshine Combo (InchSweet CorazonInch), and the sophisticated disco experiments of the late revered Canadian pianist, composer, conductor and arranger André Gagnon (InchSurpriseInch). Certainly, one of the most ambitious projects of this year or any other in the dance music world, the Crescent Street Hustlers deliver the goods in a way that not only pays tribute to the original Montreal scene but succeeds in making it appealing for a whole new generation of listeners.

In 1982, Ronny Verrept & Fonny de Wulf (Rofo) produced their first songs in their own 8 track studio. Fonny played all instruments, Ronny produced it and Peter Vriends was responsible for the vocals. After the departure of Peter, Rofo searched for a new vocalist and they found John Sauli. IA few years later, Rofo offered up InchI Want YouInch and in 1986 InchBeach Love,Inch which was composed and produced by Rob van Eijk and Michiel van der Kuy. Both tracks did well and in 1987 came the Rofo full-length album with a few new songs including Rofo's Theme, an excellent slice of synth-pop that began to attract a wide audience. All these years later, InchRofo's ThemeInch is considered a synth-pop classic. The Crescent Street Hustlers, the prolific and forward-thinking dance music production gurus, produced a brilliant remake of the classic track and present their labors here with 5 exclusive mixes including bonus instrumental versions and special InchelementsInch mix that cuts to the very heart of the tune.
