Love those dog latin mixes.
Repost from an ID thread for future reference: I made this 40+ song playlist on spotify (it's set to private... although I think you can share it even if it's private?) Inspired by this reggae-disco thing. Some of my favorite are unfortunately not available in there (clout's sunshine baby and steel an skin come to mind) but there's some songs you might enjoy, several which I didn't see mentioned in this thread (will copy the text in a minute), in case you want to take a listen for your own sets/playlists:

Here's the playlist in text form:

"Michael Oliviere - Reggae Is Here Once Again" is in lieu of the Steel an Skin song of the same name since it's not on spotify. Is this the original song? A cover? It's actually pretty good, not as good and funky as the steel an skin one but an apt substitute.

Oh the order of the playlist is important for the flow. Here's the actual arranged playlist (without the album name, no idea why it copied it the last time)

this is also good, the first track on the below ep - at 1 hour 14
https://www.discogs.com/Staffud-Reggae-Revival/release/2941696
not reggae, just disco but the track at 1.15.48 is amazing as well. anyone know what that is?
it's a brilliant mix, especially from about 55 mins in.

there's a mix on there with the same Michael Paul track, so it's definitely that track, but he's barely released anything else i can find. great tune tho.

Lots of dead youtube embeds itt, but is it really possible no one ever posted Keith Hudson?
Civilisation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIiffl1IQOE
Too Expensive:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1GeeXzMmwE
I suppose it is possible, since despite considering Hudson one of my all-time faves, I'd ignored Too Expensive for years due to its (wildly, infuriatingly wrong!!) rep as a failed crossover--a deranged narrative that you should only take on board if you are literally Richard Branson.
Also, it's maybe not quite disco but "Central Kingston" off From One Extreme to Another is also a massive jam and that album really deserves a legit reissue: the version on streaming sounds like a vinyl rip
― rob, Sunday, 5 December 2021 23:51 (two years ago) link
f**k me! those are both ace. 'civilisation' is sooooo good. thanks. i've been on a huge keith hudson tip recently but had skipped over too expensive.
― stirmonster, Monday, 6 December 2021 00:58 (two years ago) link
Central Kingston too; syndrum-tastic! i need to hear the rest of this now.
― stirmonster, Monday, 6 December 2021 01:01 (two years ago) link
wow those are great! Is it just me or is there a bit of a an ian dury vibe on 'too expensive'?
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Monday, 6 December 2021 06:52 (two years ago) link
I should probably take this to a Hudson thread, but both albums are superb imo. If you're expecting polished soul you'll be disappointed, but if you already dig Hudson's shambolic approach, I can't imagine being disappointed.
As annoyed as I am that I bought the critical line on Too Expensive without even listening to it for so long, the lack of a reissue for From One Extreme is a puzzle since Pressure Sounds put out its dub, Nuh Skin Up, ages ago
― rob, Monday, 6 December 2021 16:29 (two years ago) link
I have a bit of an on/off thing with Hudson but these are all killer. Made me wish for a sweaty front room dance.
