VA The Ultimate Italian Disco

At PTG Records we noticed that there are several really searched disco funk 12 inches from Italy which have not been released on CD yet. This project made us very enthusiastic, and therefore we started to release this first volume of our new compilation series! Just a selection of a couple of tracks of this compilation: What to think of “The Armed Gang”. The original album is hard to find, but this 12 inch “Love Shot” (not on the album) released on Musix is even more rare. In the track “Trance – Hang on it” you can easily recognize the great vocals of Orlando Johnson (of which we also released the album “Turn the music on”). Other great tracks are “George Aaron – Silly reason” and the heavily searched “Korja – My mind” and “Metropole – Miss Manhattan”.

Dusty Fingers is the name of a series of compilation records of songs that are widely admired as breakbeats collected by Bronx DJ Danny Dann the Beat Mann. Some of the songs featured contain "open breaks" which are solo drum passages which enable DJs to easily transition into them. These are also attractive to producers, who loop or rearrange them to create new compositions. Following in the tradition of the Ultimate Breaks and Beats series, the Dusty Fingers records contain an eclectic range of musical styles: mainly funk and jazz, but also including soul, rock, disco, and pop. Many of the songs in the Dusty Fingers series have been sampled into new musical compositions, mainly by hip hop producers. Popular songs that sample songs from the Dusty Fingers series include "Guilty Conscience" by Eminem, "Find Your Wealth" by Nas, "Rowdy Rowdy" by 50 Cent, "Show Me What You Got" by Jay-Z, "Daydreamin'" by Lupe Fiasco, and "Dr. Carter" by Lil' Wayne.
