1. Bump and Hustle Music
2. Fulton County

Stone cold classic funky disco floor filler that's stood the test of time. FIRST time ever on 12"!!!

Taken from the hard-to-find self-titled LP by Tommy Stewart, 'Bump & Hustle Music' is the definitive disco funk party anthem. It was recorded in 1976 in Atlanta, Georgia, and since then the LP has found itself in the play-boxes of soul, funk and jazz DJs alike. However, it's not until NOW that this amazing song has finally made it onto the preferred format of dance DJs the world over - the 45rpm 12" single.

In 1976 Tommy Stewart was a busy man, working as an arranger, producer, performer and writer for a host of soul and RnB artists. The LP made for Abraxas Records was the first to go directly under his name, and although it failed to take off locally, the LP soon became known by DJs across the world primarily for the club smash 'Bump & Hustle Music'.

As it happens that song in particular almost didn't exist but for Tommy needing to come up with something quick in order to fill in a gap in the album. Conceived and recorded on the spur of the moment, and with backing vocals by Isaac Hayes' singers Hot Buttered Soul overdubbed later, it's a superb example of rhythmic simplicity blended with soulful, catchy harmonies. It's just impossible to listen to 'Bump & Hustle Music' without a broad smile coming to your face, and when played loud in a club, it's impossible not to dance!
