VA - Essential Mix: Francois K

Been back on the headphones again and for the few who may not already have it. "This amazing album depicts the deck craft of one of dance music's founding fathers. Kevorkian, a French jazz drummer who migrated to America in 1975 was one of the first DJs to mix and edit disco records into 12" cuts, prolonging the grooves and creating dynamic workouts for adventurous dancers. Yet this is much more than disco, it's a journey from funk filled 1970s New York City when breakbeats and disco edits were emerging from the primordial sonic soup through to electro, early garage, house, hip-hop, techno and drum & bass. Familiar names such as D Train, Chaka Khan, Kraftwerk and James Brown sit alongside rarities from Akwaaba, Adonis, Willie Hutch and Level 42. This isn't a mix album in the conventional sense, there's not much blending or cutting, but it is a beautiful and thoughtful exploration of dance music's many moods by someone who understands and can integrate them better than most. --JB"
