"By Day, Richie Weeks Sorted Mail. At Night, He Was a Disco Mastermind.” Said the New York Times last year about Richie Weeks first release of an incredible treasure trove of unreleased Disco songs co-produced by the late Patrick Adams and Richie. Volume 1 received critical acclaim worldwide and floored any Disco aficionados. It also sold out instantly.

So here’s Volume 2. 12 songs straight from the archives, never released and absolutely mind-blowing. It’s Disco at its finest with one of the best in the game.

Once again curated by Past Due Records boss Jerome Derradji. Enjoy!
