Discovered this one by accident while on Soundcloud. Good ish! Hit the jump for the background on this Melbourne, Australia throwback funk act as it’s kind of long-ish…

Throwback Music: Norma White – I Want Your Love

Cool reggae cover of Chic’s disco classic “I Want Your Love” from Soul Jazz’s Studio One Disco Mix compilation:

“Studio One’s music in the 1970s took the label to new heights. The new style of Disco Mix brought many areas of Reggae together ­ Roots, Lovers, Disco and Dub all came together in extended form, re-versioning classic hits, experimenting with new studio technology, over-dubbing, syn-drums and more producing what many fans describe as the most creative and innovative phase in the history of the legendary Studio One Records. This Studio One Disco Mix album includes many sought after classic tunes only ever released in very small quantities (on Studio One’s very first 12″ records as well as it’s infamous Music Lab 10″s out of New York) and consequently many of these track s have been unavailable since their day of release. Studio One Disco Mix features many of the classic Studio One artists such as Alton Ellis, Sugar Minott, Jackie Mittoo and Willie Williams (with his classic re-versioning of his own “Armigideon Time”) alongside less well artists such as Doreen Schaeffer, Judah Eskender Tafari and George Dudley and many more.”

For mellow Sunday. No mp3 link, just great music for you to really listen to and appreciate. Dig it? Look it up somewhere and BUY it!

Thanks to my homegirl, DJ Anousheh, who had this in one of her live DJ mixes that we were playing at dinner last night, for the heads up.
