Snow? What’s that then…
Butti 49 – Alan Accelerates (Fenomenon’s Snowjogg 87 Remix) (MP3)
A snow themed post in the midst of a British summer…?
I am afraid so. It’s been a while since I have had to deal with those joyous Arctic like conditions; Sri Lanka doesn’t much like seasonal change. One year in to my stay in the tropics [...]
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 [...]
Step Around This Movin’ Sound…
Paul Hardcastle – Movin’ Sound (MP3)
British born Paul Hardcastle is best known for one thing; his Vietnam inspired recording ‘19‘. Personally, I don’t really know much about his other work, apart from that he was in the “fake LFO” (as opposed to the real deal – the Warp affiliated LFO)…
Anyway, I found this record a [...]
Rat a pat pats…
tobago – pat and pats (mp3)
tobago’s pat and pats is an awesome italo boogie record from the early 80’s. released on pineapple records this is as rare as it is fantastic. with both a vocal and instrumental version, not only does it sound ace, but it also beholds a fantastic jungle inspired record sleeve. [...]
Leave Those Kids Alone…
snatch – another brick in the wall (mp3)
pink floyds ‘another brick in the wall’ has been covered more times than i care to remember. however, one of the better versions comes in the form of snatch and their superb slice of 80’s disco boogie…
released back in 1980 on millennium records, the snatch ‘team’ add [...]
Stop. where are you going?
valery allington – stop (vocal soul version) (mp3)
after another few days of bandwidth trouble, i thought i would get the ball rolling again with a top notch soul/boogie record from the early 80’s…
‘stop (vocal soul version)‘ was released in holland in 1982, and optimises the italo boogie sound of that era. available through the [...]
Before sunrise after sunset…
maze feat frankie beverly – twilight (remix)
its the end of the week, and what better way to celebrate than with with one of my all time favourite boogie records. maze, minus the vocals of frankie beverly, drops some serious hypnotic, drug induced, late night boogie action that just makes you want to get down to [...]
Hold on to your dreams..
jah wobble, the edge & holger czukay – hold on to your dreams (mp3)
what happens when ex pil member jah wobble collaborates with ex can bassist and sound engineer holger czukay, and the u2’s guitarist, the edge? the answer – the snake charmer ep, and on this hides the track “hold on to your dreams”. [...]
