DESCRIPTION

Herman Kelly & Life were a late-1970s modern soul/funk group based in Miami, Florida. They were signed to the Miami based record label and disco empire T.K. Records and recorded only one album, Percussion Explosion!, which was released in 1978. The first 12-inch single on the subsidiary TK record label Electric Cat was mislabeled and had a typographical error and stated "Dance To The Drummer Beat".

"Dance To The Drummer's Beat" is considered one of the foundation tracks of hip-hop. Another version was also released, this time on the regular TK records label, which was remixed by pioneering remix-specialist DJ Jim Burgess, who was the resident DJ of Studio 54, The Saint, 12 West and many more.  "Dance To The Drummer's Beat" was heavily sampled by the hip-hop community on tracks such as N.W.A.'s "Dope Man", Run D.M.C. 's "Beats To The Rhyme", Public Enemy's "Burn Hollywood Burn", Michael Jackson's Refugee Camp remix of his "Blood On The Dancefloor" hit, and sample kings Double Dee & Steinkski's track "Lesson 3" amongst many others.

For the first time ever, the original disco version and the Jim Burgess remix of “Dance To The Drummer's Beat" are now available as a 12-inch, and contain the additional B-side track "Easy Going (Noches Eternas)" and "Who's The Funky Dj?".

Exclusively for Record Store Day 2024, Dance to the Drummer's Beat is cut on 45RPM and is available as a limited edition of 500 numbered copies of on translucent blue vinyl. This 12-inch is housed in the replica picture sleeve from 1978.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can also check out our complete FAQ section here.

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

When the ordered item is in stock, we always aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.

If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.

On our website, we create mock-ups with give the best possible representation of our product. However, due to the unique pressing process of some off these products, we can never guarantee that this looks exactly the same. This can mean that colours might differ slightly from the represented colour on our website. Please make sure to keep this in mind when shopping on our website.
