Boogie's Gonna Getcha: '80s New York Boogie is a compilation album in a BackBeats series released in 2010 on the Demon Music Group-sublabel BackBeats. The album was compiled by British music producer Ian Dewhirst and it was released on CD and contains twelve original boogie and post-disco tracks. In the United States, most of the songs were either underground and/or entered the Billboard Dance charts. However, in the United Kingdom it had some success especially on the pop chart, including "On The One" (#72) and "Please Don't Break My Heart" (#77).

Contents

The album mainly features artists of the SAM Records label, namely Convertion, Komiko, Klassique, Glen Adams Affair, Vicky "D" and Rhyze.

Reception

  • The Allmusic (3.5/5) review by Andy Kellman introduces the album: "Boogie's Gonna Getcha focuses on the electronics-enhanced post-disco R&B that came out of New York City during the early '80s" but states that "Back Beats digs a little deeper, but not so deep that even the keenest collectors lose interest."
