The Equatics - Doin It!!!!
This album was self produced, recorded and performed by a group of high school seniors inside of their school gym in 1972, it’s incredibly soulful, funky and tender. The group never recorded another album again!
Don’t let this album be lost to time, it’s amazing!!

sublime & underrated 90s album with almost club-like addicting beats, airy vocals & hip hop elements. Seems like everyone’s experience with this artist is “wow i heard this song on my local radio station in 1990-something and i still can’t get it off my mind”.
Current fav song: “Fall”

Amazing R&B/Disco album, it has so many great groovy tracks. Every time I get the apartment for myself I put this on to dance and do a little vacuuming.
Highly recommend the tracks: Saturday night Sunday morning and Midnight Mona

I recently dove deeper into Numero Group’s reissue of tracks from Deep City Records, the Miami-based soul and R&B label founded by FAMU classmates Willie Clark and Johnny Pearsall in the early 60s. Really fun to trace the influences drawn from Motown, marching bands, and Afro-Caribbean music that created the “Miami sound” and launched the careers of great artists like Betty Wright, who recorded the linked song “Paralyzed” when she was 12 years old (!!!)

I continue to miss the feeling, novelty and overall fun of the old internet and this is just what I needed, and what the internet as a whole needed.
