Kon & Amir and Mike Simonetti at Love
posted by Jay on July 8, 2008
Something to do after Little Jackie at Steven on Thursday. I’ve been in a disco swirl the past couple weeks after seeing Mike Simonetti (label head of Italians Do It Better and Troubleman Unlimited) turn out jams (for only a half hour!) like Don Ray’s Standing In The Rain and Harold Melvin & Bluenotes’ Don’t Leave Me This Way (the only one I knew). There were about 3 other ones of note, but the lyrics I saved in my cell didn’t help me track them down. (Yes, I’m a nerd – not as bad as photographing records, though).
To satisfy my craving, I’ve had Horse Meat Disco (a modern day London revival of the NY disco scene) radio shows on repeat, including a recent broadcast they did for Beats In Space. …And I do realize I probably have to dive into the bottomless pit of Larry Levan, Mancuso, Siano (who has a new Sunday party at Santos Playhouse) etc at some point now. But I hope to get a little more insight into the New York of old on Thursday.
