The Sleeping Bag Records Anthology
This comprehensive anthology traces Sleeping Bag Records, the legendary New York label that bridged disco's golden age and the emerging house and electro movements of the early 80s. The label was home to Dinosaur L, Class Action, Felix, and other pioneers who shaped electronic dance music. These three discs feature essential tracks in their original mixes—Larry Levan and François K interpretations that became legendary in clubs worldwide. The sound spans extended disco grooves to electro innovation, freestyle vocals to purely instrumental explorations. Each era influenced what came next; you're hearing the DNA of house music and the roots of electronic sound. Many original Sleeping Bag releases remain highly collectible. This is foundational listening for anyone interested in dance music history.
