Eddie Drennon & The B.B.S. Unlimited – Let's Do The Latin Hustle (1975)
A classic slice of mid-'70s Latin disco, combining infectious dancefloor rhythms, funky percussion and sweeping strings into an irresistible instrumental groove. Written, produced and arranged by violinist Eddie Drennon, the track brings together the energy of Latin music with the emerging disco sound, taking its inspiration from the hugely popular Hustle dance craze.
The original US release appeared on Friends & Co in 1975, with the record finding a wider audience through subsequent international releases, including the UK Pye International pressing in 1976. The A-side's breezy strings, driving percussion and infectious rhythm make it an instant dancefloor favourite, while the flip, "Get Down Do The Latin Hustle", offers an alternative take on the groove.
A major club favourite of the disco era, the track also became a source of inspiration for later generations of producers and sample hunters, with its distinctive Latin-flavoured arrangements finding their way into hip-hop and dance music.
An essential 45 for disco, Latin funk and classic dancefloor collectors.
