BBE Records-G.I. Disco Compilation
(Heidelberg, Germany. Picture taken by DeVon)
BBE Records has to be one of the better record labels of modern musical history(20th century-2000′s) I have been a fan since I heard J Dilla/Jay Dee’s Welcome to Detroit. I saw this compilation posted by Nujazzspirit and I had to share this. Like many I have family in the military specifically the Army and due to the cold war where they were stationed…Germany/West Germany at the time and even now. It was because of the U.S. Army I even went to Germany, I went to visit family. I’ve been up on Germany since I was a child, being around at the tearing down of the Berlin Wall(Yo! they were selling pieces in department stores in the states) other family members visiting relatives stationed there, German friends I’ve randomly met(yes, interesting) and the list goes on. The G.I. Disco Compilation was compiled by:
Berlin local DJ heroes Kalle Kuts and Daniel W. Best a.k.a. G.I.DISCO have compiled an excellent 80s Soul, Funk, R & B and Disco selection. It combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the German historical background (which also is an important part of 20th century´s world history), international artist quotes and worldwide renowned art by Berlin based photographer Frank Thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. -BBE
