“Obscure soul, disco and boogie from a highly regarded selector.
Darren Griffiths, AKA Red Greg, is not a widely known DJ, but among disco and soul aficionados he’s one of the most highly regarded. He’s been collecting records since the late ’80s, cultivating an outrageously deep collection of dance floor-focussed disco, boogie and soul. His compilation Under The Influence, released on Z records in 2011, is a great example of his style. The release featured a slew of mega obscure, independently released music. Perhaps the pick of the release was Aged In Harmony’s “You’re A Melody,” an incredibly funky and rare mid-tempo soul track. When Floating Points tried to track down a vinyl copy, he was pointed in the direction of Griffiths. A friendship blossomed that lead to him playing Floating Points’ You’re A Melody party at Plastic People. Jeremy Underground also played that night, and the recording introduced Griffiths to a much wider audience, the mix being voted in the top mixes of 2013 on RA.”
