Oh my! This one's all about the strings and percussion — they're something else! This record got re-issued recently on EM records, so make sure you get a copy before it gets expensive!Spargo - Head Up To The SkyIf you don't know about Spargo (and I'm not sure that many people would) they were Dutch band that was mainly active from late 70s to mid 80s, and they actually had an album on Polydor too. They got some amazing tracks just like this one, make sure you check them out.Peter Jacques Band - Mighty Fine
This song is taken from Peter Jacques' second album on RCA records, and apart from the song I absolutely love the cover for this record too, they all look pretty cool!Giorgio Moroder - Knights in White Satin
This song is probably one of the better known ones on the list, and it's just lovely. This track was released two years before Giorgio's biggest hit "Chase" but you can completely hear that this is a spiritual and musical predecessor to it.Cerrone- Love In C Minor"Love in C Minor" has been sampled numerous times over the years by different people, probably because the arrangement and the orchestra is breathtaking, making a song that is this long and still sounds as amazing as "Love in C Minor" is definitely not an easy job! Cerrone is an inspiration.

This one is my dad's favourite tracks, it reminds me of him, and me being a little kid. I can't find any other tracks by Marta Acuna but this one is a certified classic.Coffee - CasanovaCoffee was a female disco trio from Chicago who were active from around '77 to '82 only. The ladies had some killer songs including this one, and it is definitely a roller disco boogie classic.Bebu Silvett - Spring Rain
This ones doesnt need much explanation at all. Quite possibly best strings ever?De la Soul - A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays
Not from the same era as all the other mentioned records but it samples and takes alot of inspiration from roller boogie records and was one of the first records I ever bought.Atlantis drops on LIPS on 28th September. Pre-order it here.Follow Kasra V on Facebook // SoundCloud // Twitter
