It arrived today. A flat rectangular brown box postmarked from the UK. Inside was the record I've been lusting over and searching the world for for the past few years. The T2 Ep release by Nocturnal Dubs which has the track "Saving All My Love." (Check the earlier post.) Ahh zen. It came about when I came across someone online who once worked for the record label that released this extremely limited edition little gem, and I convinced him using begging and some dollar signs to do some digging for me in their vaults. Weeks later it's here and it's just as good as I'd imagined. Most people would ask why I wouldn't just download the song, but those people are missing the point. I am Captain Ahab and that little slab of vinyl was my Moby Dick... but I digress. SO, the question is, what now. Well, the other night, after leaving the Trouble & Bass party early because of a rogue smoke machine that was trying to end our existance prematurely, my good friend Flo and I stumbled upon a Stones Throw party in Miami with none other than Dam Funk mixing... which is were I heard "Starlight" by Index. An old funk track from 1981, this one grabbed my attention right away, and I knew I'd have to have it. Much to the annoyance of my wife, Captain Ahab sails again.
