A special edition of 'RHYTHM & NEWS' on Crackers Radio featuring special guest DJ SERGE GAMESBOURG. This Boston based DJ had only arrived into the UK for the first time ever, a day or two earlier before he came by the studio for our chat on air. In fact we felt quite honoured with his visit as it turned out this was to be his very first UK radio interview. His reputation had presided him as many DJ's and dance music fans of the underground 70's/80's funky flavour became aware of his name due to an album called 'Serge Gamesbourg Presents Boston Goes Disco!', which has just been released on BBE.
Raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Serge was a musician and a DJ. He came upon the idea to put together a compilation album full of obscure (read as very little in the way of sales, if any!) disco, funk, soul and boogie tracks from the local and surrounding area.The irony being all the tracks were hot then....and still are today! Not only did he chase all the music down, getting clearences etc. He went into the studio to add his own touches, producing his own 'Edit' versions. The outcome being a treasure trove of incredible grooves and soulful jams have emerged to an audience who are experiencing them with fresh ears!! Serge talks about the album and we go deep, playing several cuts. As they say....Let's Go Disco!!! Boston was definitely in da house!!!
