[AUDIO] Vietcong Disco
A fantastic hook up courtesy of Asian Man Dan!!!! I download some stuff he posts from time to time but I gotta be honest - I still can’t tell what’s good & what’s bad in electro judging by the names. Prolly just cause I know too little of them. Like in hip-hop I can simply see a name & cop some shit immediately cuz I know its gonna be good. But sometimes you stumble upon cool things that you didn’t even know existed while they were right there on your hard drive. Kinda what happened to Vietcong Disco, a DJ troop from Brooklyn holding it down for the 80’s era. And don’t fuckin’ tell me you tired of 80’s electro and all this 80’s mania going thru almost all genres of music, fashion etc. I will keep posting 80’s shit even when it’s absolutely off the fashion radar.
Okay, back to business.
“The Vietcong Disco met over the course of a five year lethal party ring in a compelling story of emigration (from several corners of the earth) to little known Bushwick, Brooklyn. Since conception, Vietcong DJs have distinguished the booths and floors of scanty-manhattanite clubs, dance halls, and raves, from outer borough warehouse parties to the infamous Leopard Lounge and Wednesday Never Ends weekly. Their polyphonic diversity has been attributed to a brisk array of ethnicities, arranged by godfather Eddie Mars. He choreographs the gang: DJ Robert Redford, fly-by-night Malcolm LaSalle and Charles Damga, bringing you never before heard disco tracks, from better decades past, when war and torment were shortlisted by dance-culture, sexuality and flashy good looks.”
