Asphalt Jungle is a disco/funk project from drummer/producer Keith Benson (MFSB) who creates a path for jazz, funk and disco to merge. This period of 1979 brought a return to the soulful elements of soul from which disco evolved. “Freakin’ Time” is a dream-like piece with the fusion of horns and the funk keyboards and sensual vocals which bring on more of a contemporary dance atmosphere. A big early evening and also afterhours must for those sleaze programs. Asphalt Jungle is one of those Paradise Garage records which you may stand in awe of for setting the pace for a new energy on the dance floor rejuvenated for the time.
I have taken the 12” single (Part1 and Part 2) to work this extended blend of both in this ReStructure Mix. A new bass sequencer pounds the intro to give more of the early morning sleaze feel. A favorite of mine and now using those funky riffs that I watched dance floors move to as they gave it up.
