Jungle D.J. (12")

12" Disco single 33 ⅓ rpm White Label Promo vinyl
Genre: Dance

Oh my, it's time to visit our friends over in France to hear their musical contribution to Disco music. Sure everyone has heard of such French artists as Cerrone, Martin Circus and Quartz. This time let's take a listen to "Jungle DJ" by Kikrokos.

Kikrokos's "Jungle D.J" was the title track from the album "Jungle D. J. & Dirty Kate". The album was a non-stop brew of pulsating Disco revolving around a central theme.

The first few verses are:
He was riding in a long black car
Chauffeur in the front for he was a star
O Jungle D. J.. D. J.!
Really knew his way, they say!
Dirty Kate had a spider on her mind
O the needle and the damage done
O Jungle D. J. poor soul . . .

Featured here is the American white label promo Kikrokos 12 inch. Polydor had Jim Burgess remix this track into a cleverly crafted thirteen minute package. Hope you like it as much as I do.
