A Treasure Trove of NYC Post-Disco Gems from 1980\u20131983. New York City, early 1980s. Post-Disco and Boogie Funk pulse through the streets, clubs, and studios\u2014and Richie Weeks stands at the heart of it all. A true force in the scene, Richie had just dropped the now-classic \u201cRock Your World\u201d in 1981. Signed to the iconic Salsoul Records, he was riding high: performing at legendary venues like Paradise Garage, Studio 54, Roseland, and Bond International, touring Europe, and recording tirelessly with top-tier vocalists and musicians in studios across the city. With his projects The Jammers and Weeks & Co. storming the charts both in the U.S. and abroad, Richie was unstoppable. Fueled by a relentless creative drive, he spent countless hours in the studio\u2014writing, arranging, and producing a massive catalog of dancefloor anthems, many of which never saw release. Until now. Jerome Derradji and Past Due Records are proud to present Richie Weeks \u2013 The Love Magician Archives: Boogie & Post Disco. NYC 1980\u20131983 Vol. 3, the third installment from Richie\u2019s personal archive. Spanning 1980 to 1983, this collection features eight electrifying, previously unreleased tracks from The Jammers and Weeks & Co., as well as the futuristic grooves of Kaviar and Hot Cargo. Richie shines through the entire record\u2014his writing, production, vocals, and arrangements are absolute killers. Housed in a deluxe double LP package with an insert featuring the second chapter of Richie\u2019s musical journey\u2014penned by Jerome Derradji\u2014this volume is a vital piece of New York\u2019s post-disco history. Essential for fans of Salsoul, Prelude, and deep crate-digging dancefloor gold diggers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
