Take It to Top

A subgenre of funk that originated in Washington, D.C., Go-Go is a mixture of funk, rhythm and blues, and early hip-hop utilizing horns and lo-fi percussion instruments to accent swing rhythms over a bed of electric guitar, bass and keyboards with an emphasis on live audience call and response. Although Go-Go music cannot be traced back to any one person or group, many bands including Chuck Brown And the Soul Searchers, Trouble Funk and Rare Essence collectively created the sound that would come to be associated with the genre, starting in the early 1980's. One of the pioneer indie record labels of the genre was T.T.E.D., home to many great artists of Go-Go. Presented here are Skibone Featuring Tommy Ski and their 1986 classic, "Take It to the Top" featuring the original radio version, D.C. mix and instrumental. All selections newly remastered.
