First in a series of collections that will celebrate a number of influential independent U.S. labels throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, The Easy Street Anthology kicks off with World Premier’s massive soulful disco smash ‘Share The Night’ for the eponymous New York label and traces its path from the disco/boogie sounds of The Affair’s ‘Please Don’t Break My Heart’, the electro-beat of Hot Streak’s ‘Body Work’ through to embracing and shaping the jack/house sound of the mid-80s and early-mid 90s. An intriguing document of how dance music developed and evolved, striding along with current trends and creating taste on dancefloors, The Easy Street Anthology – complied by dance music guru Bill Brewster – is an intriguing project documenting the most significant releases on the label. Keisha Jenkins’ ‘Goin’ Through The Motions’, Moods Of Madness’ ‘Flute Song’ and De’Lacy’s massive ‘Hideaway’ are the picks of the 90s house numbers while the Paul Simpson Connection’s ‘Treat Her Sweeter’, Adeva’s ‘In And Out Of My Life’ and Kelli Sae’s ‘It’s Too Late’ are the late 80s house/electronica highlights.
