The super rarity disco funk Something Got A Hold On Me by Chuck Armstrong gets its first ever official reissue, as Emotional Rescue continues its series of looking at some of the artists working with King Sporty’s Konduko label.
Coming in at 10 minutes of deep, bottom rattling disco funk, William’s teamed Armstrong’s vocals of unremitting love and partnership, with his in-house Root Rockers band to devastating results.
Their unrelenting groove and horns, plus Betty Wright & co's backing vocals counteracting with William’s studio skills, is further exemplified in a wonderful dub laden Discomix by Psychemagik.
Having released a sneaky edit a few years ago, it seemed fitting to bring the duo of beat diggers, tape manipulators and world travelling DJs, into the “official” fold by commissioning a rework that extends, loops and arranges this classic around a nice heavy dose of dub effects for daze.
