The Get Down

BBE Records proudly presents its 5th and arguably most exciting compilation with the French dj and ambassador of disco, Dimitri from Paris. This compilation focuses on Dimitri’s essential disco era tracks - made in Philadelphia, that feature the core of the rhythm section that created and defined the sound of the genre. For this compilation Dimitri has exclusively reworked 5 tracks from the original multitrack tapes of Gamble and Huff with a further 4 being edited from the original 2 track stereo masters.

There are plenty of reasons why a song can stand out depending on the genre, but in Rock music it truly stands out when it has a big time feel to it. That anthem approach to the song that captivates you with the big presence of the music that you can’t deny. That type of sound shines bright from DAVE & THE DUDES with their 11-track debut album “Down For The Count”. The band is founded by singer David Niederberger, ex frontman for Fighter V, who released a very good rocking album in 2019. Despite the band’s name or their logo makes us think about a southern rock or country rock act, DAVE & THE DUDES play radio-friendly ’80s-type of melodic rock, catchy short tunes recalling REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, early Rick Springfield, Jimmy Harnen & Synch, etc.

A compilation of Miami disco heat! T.K. Records was created 1973 by Henry Stone in Miami, FL and closed down in 1981.

Canadian filmmaker William Phillips makes his feature debut with this psychological thriller about an ad exec, a gang of juvenile thugs, and a really big tree. Murray Roberts (David Hewlett) is an up-and-coming salesman for an advertising company who, while strolling in a city park one day, encounters a 14-year-old mugger named Carter (Kevin Duhaney). Being a life-long alpha male, Roberts refuses to play the victim and a tussle ensues. The lad's comrades in crime emerge from the surrounding trees and soon Roberts is forced to flee. He eventually finds refuge in the higher branches of a rather large tree. The gang members, led by the charismatic Shark (Clé Bennett), lay siege. A battle of wills and wits ensues between the adman and the gangster. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.

Awesome 3rd studio disc by this excellent blues/rock band from Iowa featuring the amazing Father/Son duo of BillyLee & Bryce Janey on guitars. Includes 11 tracks of bad-ass, hard-hitting, powerful, blues-based heavy guitar rock mojo that lands down solid between a rock and a blues place. Like Father, like Son, both BillyLee & Bryce Janey dig deep on their six string axes and totally kick our asses on this way-kool, blues-based, heavy guitar boogie train. Kicking hard out of the gate with "Beginnings", a killer Hendrix jam and ending the disc with an outstanding version of "Third Stone From The Sun", complete with an excellent selection of other premium grade, killer, blues/rock riffage/jams that dominate and complete this amazing dual guitar jammin' six string ass kicker, The Janeys definitely rock the guitar joint and "Get Down With The Blues".

The Rolling Stones’ 1981 tour was the biggest rock and roll event of the year. The size of the production, the length and the pubulicity surrounding it were unprecedented. They played in the biggest arenas, sometimes for multiple nights, and orchestrated a media blitz which saw them appear on television somewhere in the world at least once a week on local stations, syndicated shows like Rona Barrett’s new news program “Inside & Out” and on cable television with several appearances on the brand new channel MTV. The big tour finale was the pay-per-view broadcast by satellite on the final night…
