Forgotten Treasure: Tonio Rubio Song “Bass in action n°2” (1973)
When I started listening to the french compilation “69 année mélodique: une certaine idée de la variété française 1964-1973″ on Fanon records, I know I was in for a couple of discoveries with rarities by the usual suspects like Dutronc or Gainsbourg. But one name was totally unfamiliar to me, Tonio Rubio.
His track “Bass in action n°2“, with a beautiful bass over clean drums, sweet keys and humming vocals, is simply a beat-maker’s heaven. This cut is taken from the french bassists excellent ’73 LP (his only album) named “Rhythms” on the label Tele Music. A collaborator with some great artist like Jean-Claude Vannier or Serge Gainsbourg, he demonstrates on this selection and on the whole project that he had the groove to create magic under his own name!
So for all the beat-makers in search of great samples, check that one out on the web or try to find a clean copy under 100$!
