Originally Released in 1983 on Becket Records, Time To Throw Down, is a party banger, between P.Funk & Boogie, created by the one & only Paul Thomas, founder of the "Magic Crew", The Circle City Band. Bandleader Paul Thomas had produced three 12" single's released under the title Circle City Band in 1983-84, one of those records titled Magic became extremely popular in the mid1980's, but this record was supposed to be the 4th 12inch single on Becket Records.

The "Circle City Band" (ccb) is made up of eight remarkably talented souls. The band is lead and managed by founder, producer/musician/singer/songwriter Paul Thomas otherwise known as "P" aka the "Funky Skunk" and also features long time friends and mentors, including the legendary award-winning, multi-musician/songwriter/producer Reggie “Mr. Everything” Griffin of Tech-No-Funk fame. -

Used Vinyl. VG / Generic 12'' Label: Hizou Deep Rooted MusicHouse music inspired by the classic sounds we love from Chicago, Detroit and New York. 400 Limited pressing.Keepin' the legacy; it could be our motto here at Hizou and it is certainly what we humbly try to achieve with all of our music. Which makes it the perfect title for this our fifth release, a various artists affair featuring four producers from two continents with one aim: quality house music inspired by the classic sounds we love from Chicago, Detroit and New York. Hizou debutant James Duncan has a pedigree to envy being not only an in-demand trumpet player for the likes of Metro Area and DFA, but also an acclaimed producer for Dance Tracks and Real Soon amongst others and owner of his own superb label, Le Systeme. Although originally from Toronto, it is Duncan's adoptive home of New York that looms large over Track A. Old-school Big Apple house and garage flavours percolate what is an already irresistible groove. Enigmatic producer G Marcell also makes his first appearance for us with the achingly groovy Peace Awaited. And the Chicago-based artist -- who has worked alongside the likes of Aesthetic Audio's Keith Worthy -- makes an instant impact as this beautifully measured cut is infectious, emotive and ass-shaking in equal parts. Detroit old-school legend Gari Romalis returns to the fold after his recent solo debut for Hizou with the mighty The No Beat Left Behind EP. Here with the equally-impressive We Here he does what he does best; no nonsense, chunky, floor-throbbing house music of the highest order. Mellowing the mood a touch, label owner Satore makes a welcome homecoming with a track that is arguably his most accomplished, contemplative and mature to date. Tribute To The Roots (Extended Mix) is a downtempo delight drenched in soul, bathed in melancholy and is quite simply the perfect close to the EP.
