ABOUT THIS ITEM

Limited reissue of ‘The Party Scene’, a stone-cold electro-funk classic 12” from 1983. The only release ever by the mega-talented Russell Brothers (what a shame!), the production on this ultra-rare Portrait cut is years ahead of its time, and no other early hip hop producers came near to making a sound as immense and interesting as this. The 12” contains the superb party-starting short and long versions featuring a grinding electro groove topped with hypnotic driving melodies and great vocals plus the masterful instrumental which is darkly atmospheric with its sparse instrumentation, pounding bass drums and ominously ticking hi-hats. Don’t miss this!
