"Boxed Out" Kid Creole And The Coconuts, "Carnaval" by the S.T. Techno Ensemble, and "You're A Sensation" by Furrever Friends, get the Disconet touch.
Kid Creole And The Coconuts start out this side with "Boxed Out", a cut from their Sire Records LP, "I, Too, Have Seen The Woods". This cut has that unique percussive groove and infectious lyrics that say Kid Creole. "Boxed Out" was produced by Coati Mundi and August Darnell, and mixed by Steven Stanley, Dave Wittman, and Michel Sauvage.
"Carnaval", by S.T. Techno Ensemble, is next. This NightWave Records 12" originally appeared on the exciting Secret Ties LP, "All Through The Night". This Latin groove instrumental will bring out the party mode in your crowd. "Carnaval" was performed and mixed by Brian Soares, and produced by Brian and Gerry Caples, with John De La Vina and Kevin Toney co-producing.
Furrever Friends is the new group from the creators of Nolan "Yo Little Brother" Thomas. "You're A Sensation" is the debut single from this feline trio. The trio has set the trap, as this cut is a sizzling 204 B.P.M., with the intro at half-time for easy mixing. Billy Heller arranged and produced this hot, percussive, danceable little number for TSE Records (212-243-7836). Rumor has it that TSE's Bob Teeman and Stu Sleppin looked through many alleys and cat houses to find these fabulous babes.
SPECIAL NOTE TO DJs: Side B runs 5:14 at 106 BPM, 5:21 at 128 BPM, and 5:02 at 204 BPM.
"Cross My Broken Heart" by The Jets, gets a super sonic remix by Tuta Aquino. Jimmy Williams asks, "Do You Really Want to Wait?"
"Cross My Broken Heart", by the Jets, is the smash hit single from the Paramount Film "Beverly Hills Cop II" soundtrack LP on MCA Records. "Cross My Broken Heart" was produced by Stephen Bray and Michael Verdick, remixed by Shep Pettibone, and edited by Shep and Tuta Aquino. Tuta reworked the cut for this special super sonic Disconet version that won't leave your crowd broken hearted.
"Do You Really Want To Wait", is Jimmy Williams' premier solo release on Streetsoul Records. Williams, is currently the lead vocalist for The Trammps, and was originally with Double Exposure. This funky, soulful, dance tune was produced by David PIC Conley for executive producers Glenn LaRusso and Dorothy and Larry Spier.

Bassix is next with "Tears Of A Clown", an excellent cover version of this classic Motown tune. This Epic Records 12" was produced by Bassix. This is a perfect cover.
