Review by Olga Bowman

Instant Funk Disco Single by Instant Funk Gary's Gang: A Hidden Gem from 1979 Alright, let’s dive into this funky little time capsule called Instant Funk Disco Single by Instant Funk Gary's Gang. Released in 1979 under the Sonic label in Pakistan (yep, Pakistan!), this album is like a groovy mixtape your cool uncle made back in the day but forgot to tell anyone about. It’s got that raw, unpolished charm—like someone spilled disco glitter all over a funk record and didn’t bother cleaning it up. First off, the genre here is straight-up Funk/Soul with heavy doses of Disco vibes sprinkled throughout. Tracks like “Do It At The Disco” and “Keep On Dancin’” slap hard enough to make you wanna dust off those bell-bottoms and hit the floor. But two tracks really stuck out for me, and I’ll tell ya why. Track Highlight 1: “You Say You Want Me To Stay” This one hits different. Right off the bat, the bassline grabs you by the collar and pulls you in—it’s smooth yet kinda sassy, like it knows you can’t resist moving. The vocals have this laid-back swagger that feels personal, almost like they’re whispering secrets meant just for you. What makes this track unforgettable? Maybe it’s how effortlessly it blends soulful longing with danceable energy. Or maybe it’s because halfway through listening, I realized I was air-drumming on my coffee table. Oops. Track Highlight 2: “In A Persian Market (Music)” Okay, so this one throws a curveball. Imagine walking through an imaginary bazaar where every vendor is selling beats instead of rugs. That’s what this instrumental piece feels like—a musical mosaic of Eastern-inspired melodies layered over punchy funk rhythms. It’s hypnotic, man. Like, one minute you’re nodding along, and the next thing you know, you’ve been staring at the ceiling for ten minutes thinking deep thoughts about life. Not kidding. --- Now, don’t get me wrong; not every song on this album will knock your socks off. Some tracks feel like filler, and yeah, production-wise, it’s no Studio 54 masterpiece. But there’s something endearing about its DIY vibe. It’s clear these guys weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel—they just wanted to make people move. And hey, isn’t that what music’s all about? Whether it’s 1979 or 2023, sometimes you just need a beat that says, “Hey, forget your problems for three minutes and shake it.” So, if you stumble across Instant Funk Disco Single, give it a spin. Sure, it might not be perfect, but neither are we—and honestly? That’s kinda beautiful. Plus, who wouldn’t want to hear a Pakistani funk band drop a tune called “Dark Vader”? Totally unexpected. Totally worth it.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: In 1979, a funk and soul album called *Instant Funk Disco Single* by Instant Funk Gary's Gang was released in Pakistan. Yep, Pakistan! It’s wild to think about disco grooves hitting the scene there. The record label was Sonic, and it had tracks like "Do It At The Disco" and even one inspired by Star Wars—“Dark Vader.” How funky is that?
