Description

Arguably, Dave Lee aka Joey Negro and his Z Records label are the contemporary go-to Disco label. And it was only a matter of time that Mr Lee would delve deep into his vinyl vaults and pull a selection of sound-alike tracks inspired by that late 70s Chic sound.

To date, Chic and their productions have notched-up sales of over 100,000,000, so with that in mind, it comes at no surprise that their music has inspired others to pick up the bass & lead guitar and emulate that groovy sound… and that ‘s exactly what this album is all about. 'Le Freak Music Inspired by Chic – Complied by Joey Negro’ contains fourteen glorious Chic inspired cuts that groove like a Disco train straight from the 70s.

The Chic production sound must be one of the most distinctive in disco, soul, funk or pop music generally, a sound that was lent very successfully to Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Debbie Harry and many more in the late 70s and early 80s heyday. The much-copied formula has been an inspiration to many producers old and new, most recently with the world dominating Daft Punk.

Joey Negro is one such producer who has been inspired by the production sound of Rodgers and Edwards over the years and, until now, there has not been a collection of tracks that were influenced by rather than produced by Chic.

There are many more artists out there that have drawn inspiration from this sound but this is Joey Negro's personal selection of tracks that have the unmistakable groove including one from his own Sunburst Band project.
