Chantal Curtis - Get another love

Less and more random posting nowadays, but I try to keep up the quality. Here's proper disco, right up my strasse from Chantal Curtis in 'Get another love'. Sweet strings and a perfect swing all the way through and with nice drop added to that. 
Hope you dig!

Chantal Curtis - Get another love

Nick Straker Band - Something in the music

A big favorite from Nick Straker in 'Something in the music' which just hits the right buttons for me. Soulful, slightly on the jazzy side with some nice, trippy keyboard action and finally a great drop for the dancers. So here you go; some vintage dance music to go on your disco.
Hope you dig!

The disco keeps me young

Struggling with finding the time to keep this on going. And still do. Got some time last night though, and put this together. 
Hope you dig!

Tony Orlando - Don't let go

A fine blue eyed disco tune from Tony Orlando in 'Don't let go'. The drop, somewhat reminds me of Bill Wither's 'You got the stuff'. Obviously not quite as big, but still all good.
Hope you dig!

Joker - African

Some italo-ish pop music with a slight leftfield twist from Joker in 'African' off their same titled LP.
Hope you dig!

Joker - African

Brooklyn Dreams - Street Man

Here's 8 minutes of classic disco from Brooklyn Dreams in 'Street Man'. This rip is off a single sided 12", and I believe the original version (there's a shorter one as well). 
Anyways, bit of great bread and butter material for any discerning disco dj; with enough swing, sweet strings and a classic break and build up. 
Hope you dig!

Steely Dan & Charles Mann - Do it again

Two rather different versions of the same song from Steely Dan and Charles Mann in 'Do it again'. Originally written by Steely & Dan in 72' shortly followed by the Charles Mann version from 73'. If you want the full version of Steely Dan's you'll find it in the 'Four tracks from Steely Dan' 12"/EP and the Charles Mann's on his 'Say you love me too' LP.
Hope you dig!

Voyage - I love you dancer

Voila! A nice blend of pop music and disco, here with some added jazzy guitars. From the french band Voyage in "I love you dancer", ripped from the flip on the 12" on the Scirocco label. 
Hope you dig!

Voyage - I love you dancer

Erotic Drum Band - Jerky Rhythm

Here's a piece of a vintage dj tool from Erotic Drum band in "Jerky rhythm". A heavy drum track for the more adventurous disk jockyes. I'm saying that from my own experience; even though its tribal, dance(y) nature you really need the right context to make it work. I'm sure it got released on the Champagne label too (and i'm sure I have that one), but this rip is of the red and crispy Prism release.
Hope you dig!

Sue Ann - My baby, my

Here's a bit euro sleeze in Sue Ann's 'My baby, my from her self titled LP. That's the place to get this sweet, electronic disco number produced by Pete Belotte; the former Moroder collaborator.
Hope you dig!

Johnnie and Michael Hill - Too hot to stop

Sometimes you might oversee the major, classic labels in the search for obscurity and rareness. But when getting deeper in the catalogues there's usually stuff that's not played out. And it doesn't get more classic than Salsoul; here's Johnnie and Michael Hill from 1980 in 'Too hot to stop'.  
Oh, did I mention disco?!
Hope you dig! 

Johnnie and Michael Hill - Too hot to stop

Kinsman Dazz - Saturday night

This is a biggie from Kinsman Dazz in 'Saturday night'. Nice and sleazy with a healthy dose of funk. The self titled LP is a cheapie too.  No reasons to ignore.
Hope you dig!

Kinsman Dazz - Saturday night

Sarr Band - Magic Mandrake

Here's a bit of obscure, and dare I say cosmic(?), disco. From Sarr Band in "Magic Mandrake", who delivers all the sweet strings, funky horns and pumping bass you could ask for in complete disco banger. When looking for the 12" you should avoid the dodgy bootleg (as always!) that came out last year or so.
Hope you dig!

Sarr Band - Magic Mandrake

Epic Disco

I had a gig cancelled due to some shitty weather last night, so I cooked this one up instead. Bits of fairly new-ish house, older house, some retro disco and italo bits (some recently blogged here).
Hope you dig!

Cappuccino - Hell dance with me

Hell, this is the perfect disco track! Or a perfect dance record for any given time. But, being an older track it has a very modern, minimal feel. A simple, repetetive bassline; so massive. And with an overall minimal arrangement it makes this record a banger any time. From Cappuccino in 'Hell dance with me', and for anyone on a more budget tip there's a reissue (much likely a boot) as well.
Hope you dig,  you should!

Cappuccino - Hell dance with me

Aurra - Such a feeling

I've said it before about some record here, but this is one of those blueprint tunes forming the essentials for a great track. Certainly in my book and one you need to go back to now and then. From Aurra, in 'Such a feeling' on Salsoul and with Mr. Pettibone at the controls. This rip is off part 2 & 3, where i've cut some of the accapella intro and let it roll from there. 
Nuff said really - hope you dig! 

Aurra - Such a feeling

Funk Masters - Love money

For anyone into their funkier side of disco there's tons of early rap instrumentals out there. Here's one from the Funk Masters in "Love Money", a 1980 UK release on Tania Music. Add a bit of dubby fx's and it's right up my strasse with enough whistles and bells to fit into any decent disco and leftfield set. 
The original release also comes in an easter festive yellow pressing.
Hope you dig!

Funk Masters - Love money

The Duncan Sisters - Outside Love

If you got a few spare dollars and are looking for a disco banger to spend it on; this would be my tip. The Duncan Sisters in 'Outside Love'. Nothing but seven minutes of pure love and energy. Actually (co-)produced by John Luongo, and when looking back on his discography there's loads. I didn't have much knowledge of him, besides some of the less mainstream, leftfield stuff he's done. 
Anywayz, hope you dig!

The Duncan Sisters - Outside Love

Alton McClain & Destiny ‎– Crazy Love

You've got to love this! Killer, soulful disco from Alton McClain & Destiny ‎in "Crazy Love". Here's with Jim Burgess at the controls on this 12" version, with a monster breakdown. Make sure you check! 
I actually got this, not too long ago and it had belonged to a 'Sundance Kid', member of a record pool back in the day. And instinctively I got curious of the story of the record. A rather distinct divergence if you're dealing with physical artefacts opposed to digital 'records'. I might actually need to do some research for the 'Sundance Kid'. 
Anyways, hope you dig!

Sailor - Down by the docks

I think they are some UK glam rock types in Sailor. Here's something slightly different from them in 'Down by the docks' off a Canadian 12". I believe the 12" version is different from the LP one, more stripped down and dirty.  And it's great, all up my street with its pumping beats, sleazy bass and sweet disco-ey strings.
Hope you dig!
