Porcaro Club

Monday, 2 January 2012

First feature of 2012 is a Porcaro Club classic. "Driftin'", released by the Alessia Brothers in 1978 is where sunshine pop, soul and California boogie meet. Produced by Louie Shelton, engineered by Joseph Bogan at Dawnbreak Studio, San Fernando, California and drums courtesy of - who else - Jeff Porcaro. The album of the same name includes guest appearances by Seals & Crofts and Richie Havens.

After a long silence from Porcaro club we are finally back. Our Porcaro Club radio station at Laut FM is now on air and we are constantly adding new tracks ranging from the cool side of Yachtpop to sunny California Soul, from original disco to the classics of softrock.

We stopped throwing our Porcaro Club parties at the moment though, but you can always check out Mr. Mellow playing every second Friday of the month in the basement of Hamburg's Moondoo club.

In the meantime, click here: Porcaro Club radio and enjoy our radio station. Also expect regular posts about recent additions to our radio programme.

Olli Como Va and Mr. Mellow say: have a great christmas and a soulful new year!

Yacht Rock, California Soul & Fancy Disco

http://www.lounge-records.de/promo/Porcaro_Dancefloor.mp3

Der Sound zum aufgeknöpften Hemd: Lässig wie Magnum, heiß wie Travolta und cool wie Robert Redford zu “Condor”-Zeiten! Mit feinstem Vinyl aus der Zeitder Ölkrise unter der Nadel fahren wir zu 100% den wahren und satten Stye der Dekade der ganz großen und koksverschnieften Siebziger.

Hier herrscht Disco im Quadrat, Soul für die ganz dicke Hose und Yacht-Rock, der die Welt aus den Angeln hebt.
