Get Down With the Philly Sound

This is a premium 2xCD set which comes in a slick six panel digipack including a thirty-two page booklet with in depth background information about the birth of disco in Philadelphia. BBE Records proudly presents its fifth 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. Dimitri's selection on CD One traces the evolution of the 70's disco groove from the first ever disco hit record, to the rejuvenation of the Jackson 5's career; interspersed with obscurities such as Charles Mann to the magnificent Teddy Pendergrass, Philly International's answer to Marvin Gaye. CD Two of the compilation pays homage to the original creators and innovators of the remix and extended edits with reworkings exclusively by Dimitri from Paris. Dimitri has reworked five tracks from the original multitrack tapes of Gamble and Huff with a further four being edited from the original two track stereo masters.
