SunPalace - The Lost Songs 1982-1984 - SNIPPETS (CHUWANAGA004) by CHUWANAGA published on 2018-08-19T19:00:59Z REF : CHUWANAGA004 Label : CHUWANAGA Artist : SUNPALACE Title : THE LOST SONGS 1982-1984 Format : 12’’ Tracklist : A1 - Dancing The Night Away A2 - Love, Love, Love B1 - If You Wanna Be A Beggar B2 - Somebody’s Watching Pre-order : https://chuwanaga.bandcamp.com/album/the-lost-songs-1982-1984 You may know of « Rude Movements », an early dance music classic produced by SunPalace (Mike Collins and Keith O’Connell) back in 1983 that brought together proto-house, balearic beats and funky vibes. In 1984, the tune quickly became an anthem that could regularly be heard at David Mancuso’s “The Loft” or at Larry Levan’s “Paradise Garage” for example. Thanks to Mike Collins, the studio veteran still in the business after more than 35 years and currently busy perpetuating the legacy of SunPalace, more material from the archives has been ‘surfacing’ over the past few years on UK-based record labels. After a very productive meeting earlier this year, Parisian label Chuwanaga is really proud to present four unreleased songs produced between 1982 and 1984! Co-written by Mike Collins from SunPalace and Breeze McKrieth, a founder member of Britfunk bands Light Of The World and Beggar & Co, these « Lost Songs » are the almost forgotten result of this seminal collaboration, an exclusive musical rendezvous between experienced studio music makers and funksters at the top of their game, including some of the finest Britfunk musicians. Bringing together eighties influences and futuristic sounds, the result covers a wide range of genres, from jazz-funk to new wave: it captured a unique moment in British musical history, a smooth transition to a more electronic sound. Definitely not one to be missed! All tracks recorded and produced by Mike Collins for SunPalace between 1982 and 1984 in London. All songs composed by Mike Collins and Breeze McKrieth. Vocals: Breeze McKrieth Guitars: Mike Collins & Breeze McKrieth Synthesisers, Keyboards and Drum Machines: Mike Collins Additional Keyboards, Trumpet and Hand Percussions from our friends including the many fine UK Britfunk musicians associated with Incognito, Light of the World, Beggar & Co, and others.
