Block Street Sound [2021] - I'm Out To Catch [Beachgroove Records]

A cover of Leon Haywood's 1983 boogie/funk track "I'm Out To Catch" by Block Street Sound released today (15 Sep 2021). 

It's the nineteenth single released by this outfit this year (nothing prior) all which seem to be of a similar ilk i.e. disco/funk/boogie.

It's puzzling why the Leon Haywood version is credited to him as he doesn't sing on the track, the lead vocalist is Karen Roberts, Haywood just produced it. The 7" 45 credits Leon Haywood Featuring Karen Roberts but the 12" makes no reference to her. It was big tune in the clubs 'back in the day'.

Mickey De Grand IV [2021] - Geraldine [CQQL Records]

The first release on CQQL (formerly Hobo Camp) (pronounced sequel). "Geraldine" is a throwback to the 80s synth boogie sound from Ryan Joseph-Michael de Grandy aka Mickey De Grand IV from Miami who was a member of  Psychic Mirrors.

He's behind the Cosmic Chronic label so I assumed that he also owns CQQL but it was founded by Randy Ellis.

It was released on limited vinyl 7" (sold out).
