The good folks over at Diggers Dozen once again do what they’ve been known to do for years which is pushing record culture forward by presenting some of the best digging related releases which includes not only their Diggers Dozen series of mixes by notable vinyl royalty but also with their new 7″ release which unearths and under the radar gem that’s sure to fill dance floors. Tampa “Don’t Fight The Feeling” gets a first time on 7″ debut featuring the original version as well as an edit flipped by The Mighty Zaf.
“Don’t Fight The Feeling” is an amazing off the radar, jazz laced, disco funk gem. Originally only featured on an obscure Florida based radio station compilation LP released in 1978. Tampa formed together in 1977 to be a house band at the most popular nightclub in Tampa Bay, generally playing covers as well as playing their own material in a variety of styles from rock to funk and disco.
At this time the local radio station in Florida WXTB-FM 97.9 Clearwater also know as 98 Rock, called out to musicians in the Tampa Bay area requesting for songs to feature on a compilation album showcasing local talented musicians, as well as being a fund raising project with all profits donated to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary.
