disco party

sooo recently i've become obsessed with disco-funk-soul music. i am not sure what to do about it, besides have the most awesome tunes all day long keeping me grooving at work... and then making sure there are an excessive amount of dance parties with my puppy at home in the evenings...
in my attempt to be constructive with my new found hobby of searching youtube archives for music that my parents probably still have as records, stored in a box somewhere... i am presenting fresh, funky tunes for your ears to enjoy that maybe you heard before, maybe you didn't, but for certain, its time to put these tracks on repeat and get down!
