Insane In The Pitch Change…
Le Jete – La Cage Aux Folles (Instrumental) (33.3 Version) (MP3)
Yes, yes, yes; this is so good! Released on Patrick Cowley’s Megatone records in 1983, ‘La Cage Aux Folles” (”The Caged Insane Ones” ), is, initially, Hi-NRG disco at its lightening speed, 45rpm spinning worst.
However, pitch it down to a nice and easy 33 [...]
An Apple A Day…
World Of Apples – Chroma (MP3)
World Of Apples – Prelude (MP3)
Christian Zimmerman – Diary Of A Lost Girl (World Of Apples Mojave Rehab Mix) (MP3)
After a 3 day/night New Year blow-out, 2009 didn’t exactly start as was intended. Albeit 4 days behind schedule, the objective is to now have a stress free, relaxed, and [...]
From Russia With Love…
AN-2 – Diva (September Version) (MP3)
AN-2 – Wings (Fatal Version) (MP3)
Musically, not too many good things come from our Eastern friends. Mr Andrei Zakharov however, would seem to be an exception. Over the past 4 years or so, he has (from his base in St Petersburg) set up his own record label, called Theomatic, and [...]
Back To My Roots…
Mandy Smith – Mandy’s Theme (I Just Can’t Wait) (Cool & Breezy Jazz Version) (MP3)
Odyssey – Going Back To My Roots (MP3)
Manchester beckons, and what better way to celebrate my return to the motherland than with a couple of classic tracks that illustrate my giddy school girl behaviour today…
First up is Bill Wyman’s somewhat controversial [...]
We Are The Musicmarkers…
Musicmarkers Ltd – Havah Nagilah (MP3)
After raiding my Italo collection this morning, it would seem that I am going into dodgy territory again. Don’t worry though, Musicmarkers Ltd pull out all the stops on this one. Taking their inspiration from a traditional Hebrew folk song, ‘Havah Nagilah’, they use the original middle eastern influences, blend [...]
It’s The Weekend…!
Class Action – Weekend (Original 12″ Mix) (MP3)
After a week that has felt more like a month (a 31 day one at that), thankfully, the joyous event that we call the weekend, is finally upon us. To celebrate this, more so than normal, here is a classic bit of disco action from a Leroy Burgess [...]
Make Love? Me No Make Love…
Mascara – Baja (MP3)
A quick disco fix in the way of Mascara, and their fantastically narrated, bilingual hit, ‘Baja’. Produced by Jurgen S. Korduletsch and mixed by the 80’s workhorse “Jellybean” Benitez, this was released on both the Oh MY! and Personal record labels back in 1984…
Most plays of this 12″ come in the form [...]
Space Survivor…
Network feat. Rik DeLisle – Space Survivor (Instrumental) (MP3)
‘Space Survivor’ was released back in 1981 on the German label Hansa. Nestled away on the B side to ‘Walk On The Wild Side’ (a terrible cover of the Lou Reed classic), this is somewhat of a hidden gem (mid-tempo disco with a vocoder, space effects and [...]
So That Was 2007 Part I
Talking Drums – Courage (MP3)
And we had it all planned out: clever categories, highlights from a year’s worth of only-amusing-to-us musical anecdotes, celebrity contributions and oh so much more. It was going to be amazing, it was going to be the Best Foot Forward End Of Year Round-Up. But all the down-time, and the down-time-induced [...]
Who got The Funk…? Tumblack Got The Funk!
Tumblack – Chunga Funk (MP3)
With a line up that reads, Yves Hayat (The Droids), Sauveur Malia (Arpadys, Voyage, Tele Music), Pierre Alain Dahan (Arpadys, Voyage, Tele Music), Marc Chantereau (Arpadys, Voyage, Tele Music), and a one track guest appearance from Wally Badarou (on Chunga Funk), this LP has got winner written all over it…
Released on [...]
