    DJ Friendly mixes and re-edits from digger extraordinaire Al Kent. Not sure where he finds all these gems, very obscure disco cuts and so so good, we can't ever believe that they slipped through the mainstream net! Modern soul connoisseurs will know Frank & James "How Long Is Forever" and Neo Experience's "Human". 

    If you like your disco music deep, soulful and/or funky, then you've come to the right place!
