Eccentric Boogie

With the disco hangover in full-swing, a new breed of R&B emerged to fuse the early-'80s dance floor gap between the hustle and house. Uptempo funk partnered with the synthesizer and reigned supreme through Thriller. For our Eccentric Boogie edition, Numero unearth’s the grailed-out jewels you can only dream of flossing. From the slick, stage band syncopation of Maxx Traxx's "Don't Touch It!" to Donnell Pitman's all-night anthem "Burning Up," to Pete & Cheez's smooth slap fest "You and Me" and the Prince-adjacent electro freak of Steven’s “Quick”... Realistically, this could be the only boogie record you ever own.
