“Every track on this release is worthy of a play — proper Surinamese disco and boogie heat.”
Why I Stock This Record
This is a Surinamese Disco and Boogie must-have. It features two standout tracks for me — Steve Watson’s “Born To Boogie” and Sound Track Orchestra & Silvy’s “Tirsa Song” — but honestly, I genuinely play every track on this release, whether I’m listening at home or DJing out.
The whole compilation is full of that raw, funky, and energetic Surinamese sound that blends disco and boogie perfectly. It’s got real groove and character throughout.
If you’re into disco, boogie, or digging for lesser-known international gems, this Rush Hour Netherlands release is a must-have for serious vinyl collectors and DJs alike. Clean copy and plays strong every time.
Review
Back in 2012, Rush Hour boss Antal Heitlager put together a sublime collection of obscure Surinamese disco and boogie for sister label Kindred Spirits. Four years on, and with assistance from Thomas Gesthuizen, he presents the follow-up, Surinam Funk Force. Predictably, it's another fine set full of surprise gems and barely-known classics. While some tracks sound authentically American (see the deep and harmonious brilliance of Steve Watson's "Born To Boogie", and Surinam scene stalwart Sumy's eccentric, synth-laden "The Funky 'G' (Only Comes At Night)", some of the most potent cuts lean more heavily on traditional Surinamese music. In this camp you'll find the thrilling funk of Explosion's "Wakka Mang", and the off-kilter tropical disco-funk of Ronald Snijders' "Kaseko Attack".
