Lenny Dee, Relaxin', 1967

#Lenny Dee #Relaxin'#1967

Heading back to '89/'90 with this slate of contemporaneous dance stuff that was mixed by the duo of Brooklyn Funk Essentials, who are not be confused with a large collective of the same name that was co-helmed by legendary producer Arthur Baker. Issued by New York label Next Plateau Records, this album appears to have a bunch of songs from the label's own catalogue on it, but there's others that come from outside of the company too, so, maybe this'll be a neat little snapshot of the American dance landscape writ large. US-marketed dance music was in a sort of weird identity crisis at this point, though, unsure of where it was headed and what trends it could chase and potentially build upon.

Also, neat album art, taking the 15 Top Spins title quite literally.
