Here's some more Beedle for your needle - if not the one attached to the tone arm, the one embedded in the digital junkie's arm at least. See bio info for Ashley Beedle over at the Ballistic Brothers post on Soundological. For his BSO effort, Ashely forsook the talents of buds Rocky & Diesel for a heavier reliance on Uschi Classen and engineer Marc Woolford. The album is named in deference to one of the early pioneers of the extended remix, Walter Gibbons. In all seriousness, if you just glossed over that link and you don't really know who Gibbons was then you better check yourself and click on that link, kiddo. You're in for a treat. Then go to the Disco Museum for a nice in-depth bio on the man you can read while listening to BSO's homage to the glory days of Philly, New York and Jersey disco. Shout out to Julian over at Play Jazz Loud for his psychic request!

AMG Review

Ashley Beedle rewires the original American disco template for a set of updated grooves more reminiscent of Philadelphia International than Strictly Rhythm (even the title is a reference to one of the original disco DJs and remixers, Walter Gibbons). Tracks like "Downtown Science" and "Save Us (The Jam)" find a common ground between house and its '70s forebear, with strings and vibes and keyboards adding to the earthy atmosphere.
Here they are for your summer listening and party pleasure. Enjoy!

Hi Cheeba,
Wow!!!! I'm a student of everything Walter (I have most comps and mixes as well as some 12s such as an original scratchy "Hit And Run", but I never got a chance to hear this since I found out about it in 1998. You can't imagine how I feel right now listening to it. Actually, you CAN imagine how I feel! Thank you so much.
Peace, Jerome
Hi Jerome,
I sure can! I was in much the same position when it came out - had loads of Salsoul 12"s and other Gibbons mixes and was big on disco house but this one did a great job of merging those together.
Glad you're enjoying and really appreciate the comment to let me know!
