The sun is finally shining in the Netherlands, time for some sunny music.. "Hot Fun" is a masterpiece of the 80's. A funk album with a couple of incredibly funky tunes...Read more about Dayton on Wikipedia. This tune, sounds a bit like Earth Wind & Fire (EWF), with the horns and backing vocals; almost like you find an EWF song you didn't know it existed...
Just like EWF, Dayton has a strong emphasis on the groove and instruments which make it extra fun for me to listen to. There are vocals in every song but I think the groove and sounds are more in the spotlight.
And my favourite track featuring Bootsy Collins:
"Boogie down down down...krackity krack, feel the funk"... That's my kind of lyrics. :-)
My latest mix is now online. Entering year 11 of dj'ing qith mix 101.
