My Occupation: The Music Of
Tirk/nuphonics
DISCO
Retrospective album charting the solo career of the legendary CHAZ JANKEL (IAN DURY’s writing and performing partner in THE BLOCKHEADS), encompasing his disco, new wave, electro and pop work from the early ‘80s.
This album covers Chaz’ solo career, including hits such as the platinum selling “Glad To Know You” (6 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100) and “Ai No Corrida”. Also included are exclusive, previously unreleased alternate versions and mixes. Released on the very tasteful TIRK label (NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB, FUJIYA & MIYAGI, GREG WILSON).
The album will appeal to existing fans of Chaz and The Blockheads, disco heads (eg. those frequenting djhistory.com), and fans of Tirk’s contemporary output.
Chaz’ music is popular with IDJUT BOYS, MUDD, TREVOR JACKSON, TIM SWEENEY (DFA/BEATS IN SPACE), RADIOSLAVE, GUCCI SOUNDSYSTEM, BILL BREWSTER (LOWLIFE/DJHISTORY.COM), RUB-N-TUG, PETE HERBERT (REVERSO 68), TOBY TOBIAS. “Chaz Jankel has been incredibly influential on much of the music that is popular today. A true pioneer.” TREVOR JACKSON
