Obsessive collector, record store owner and mine of musical knowledge, Zaf is
vinyl junkie
of the highest order. His first ‘Private Wax’ compilation came in 2012 and
immediately
became a highly sought after gem, due to the rare and wonderful disco and
boogie
contained within.
From the shimmering Disco of Starvue’s ‘Love Affair’, which opens up
the album, right
through to the uplifting last track, Wes Black’s ‘I Feel Good’,
it’s clear we are in the hands of
a master curator. Containing only original versions, literally thousands of
pounds’ worth of
rare records have been lovingly re-mastered to build this very special
package.
With the current disco and funk revival making headway into the charts, this
compilation of
authentic, original material could not be timelier. From dance-floor oriented
disco monsters
to more subtle boogie jams, the album takes the listener on a journey from the
nightclub to
the streets of 70’s and 80’s Black America, where the early experimental
blueprint for hip
hop and house can clearly be heard in so much of the music.
A slice of history, but also a collection of tracks that still have so much
mileage left in them,
we invite you to dive once again into the magical world of
Zaf’s Private Wax.
