Lovin’ the bass hook on this track.  ESG (Emerald Sapphire & Gold) was an all girl group from South Bronx, New York circa 1978 to 1990’s.  They mix Soul, Funk, Disco, and New Wave all into their own dance vibe, which would probably be labeled “Deep House” now-a-days.  This track was originally released in 1982 on ESG’s EP titled, “ESG Says Dance To The Beat of Moody”.

Ursula 1000 - Electrik Boogie

Let’s see… add a falsetto vocal track, glaring guitar riffs, women moaning and groaning, 80’s synth strings, samples ripped from various Prince tracks, and yup what you end up with is a Prince track.  Funny thing though, it isn’t a Prince track but instead Ursual 1000 with “Electrik Boogie”.  This thing can’t possibly sound more Prince, well.. ok, maybe if they threw in a Purple Rain reference…
