Up, Down & Round

ESG (Emerald, Sapphire & Gold) out of South Bronx, New York are looked at as the Queens of the Punk-Funk movement and have influenced more than their fare share of artists over the years. Starting up in the early eighties, the three Scroggins sisters (Maria, Renee & Valerie) went on to release a few albums and EPs and more recently Soul Jazz Records out of the UK have come out with some fantastic reissues and compilations of B-sides & Rarities.

Their tracks take in aspects of disco, funk, punk and hip hop and after listening it's easy to see why they've been sampled to death by TLC, Wu-Tang Clan, Beastie Boys, Gang Starr and heaps of others.

This love themed jam i've chosen to share is an absolute belter that's guaranteed to rock the dance floor.
