Groove Line Records are very proud to announce the release of their first original album CD re-issue as the seminal 1979 Salsoul Records album Disco Madness, a record featuring six innovative remixes of classic Salsoul tracks from pioneering turntablist and re-mixer Walter Gibbons, whose influence on dance music culture has reached further and deeper than most.

Stunning soul from the deepest depths of the American underground – upbeat groovers that mix a clubby vibe with deeper vocals – but all without hitting a disco sound at all! Some of these numbers are from the years before Studio 54, but showcase a changing style of soul – more sophisticated, a bit more funk in the mix – and this fantastic blend of instrumentation, arrangements, and production – all of which give the songs a level of perfection that definitely deserves the "masterpiece" in the title! Most of these tracks are from rare singles, but a few haven't been issued before – and together, the cuts really show the ever-evolving understanding we have of classic soul – always shaped strongly by excellent collections like this.

Nile Rodgers - "When the label asked me to put together a track list for Disco Inferno I was like 'YEAH! When do I start?'
The biggest challenge was narrowing the choices down to sixty four tracks from a starting point of several hundred. But the guys at the label gave me some direction as to the shape of the album - a mix of hits and more unusual stuff. I've drawn not only on my own personal production history but also on my extensive knowledge of disco, funk and soul music - I guess - having had years of first-hand dance floor experience from landmark era clubs such as Studio 54".

Enjoy this Compilation with the most successful Salsoul: The Original Disco Mixes, Vol. 1 singers like Loleatta Holloway, Double Exposure, Double Exposure and many more!
