Extensions From Area Code 212, a.k.a. (212) Band, is a New York based group that I was tunred on to only within the last few years by a DJ who frequents DiscoMusic.com. Portions of the album have an almost jazzy feel, but make no mistake it is Disco and danceable.
Two of the best cuts are Manhattan Shuffle and Gaz-O-Lean. This album is a little hard to find, but not impossible.
