Kalita is a record label based in London, UK. They specialize in unearthing and re-releasing disco, funk, and soul music from around the world. Their focus is on bringing hidden gems from the USA, the Caribbean, and West Africa to a wider audience.

Run by Chris Webb, Kalita is dedicated to preserving and sharing *disco*, *funk*, and *soul* music that may have been overlooked or forgotten over time. With an extensive knowledge of these genres, they carefully curate their releases to showcase the best of what each region has to offer.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or new to this style of music, Kalita's catalog offers something for everyone. From rare tracks that have never been released on vinyl before to classic hits that deserve a second listen, their releases are sure to delight any fan of *disco*, *funk*, or *soul*.

Kalita are proud to announce the first ever 7” single reissue of what is possibly the most coveted gospel disco record in existence, the Al-Dos Band’s soulful masterpiece ‘Doing Our Thing With Pride’. This iconic reissue is backed by the band’s previously unreleased recording ‘Love Jones Coming Down’. At long last, Kalita revives this South Carolinian grail single, housed in a limited-edition picture sleeve. Originally penned and produced in 1976 by husband-and-wife duo William and Elizabeth Robinson in Greenville, South Carolina – a city steeped in musical heritage – the record was released in a run of just 200 copies the following year on their own label, Warmer Productions. ‘Doing Our Thing With Pride’ epitomises the best in uplifting crossover gospel disco, equally suited to both peaceful listening and dancefloor action. Despite garnering some attention upon its original release, the single struggled to make headway against the prevailing music forces of the time. Coupled with mounting academic and familial obligations, the release faded into obscurity, eventually becoming a highly sought-after gem, commanding exorbitant prices whenever an original copy surfaced for sale—a rarity that occurred only once every decade. Now, following their successful unearthing of the band’s unreleased album in 2021, Kalita present this remarkable record in a limited-edition 7” picture sleeve single.
