The Galleria - Calling Card

A cross between disco and old house music, with slightly camp soft-pitched female vocals.  Just on the side of very cool - this could easily have been awful and maybe you think it is too.

The Trammps - The Night The Lights Went Out (Dimitri From Paris Disco Re-Edit)

So, so funky.  A proper kind of mo-town vocal with a disco rub over the top.  Feel good music for sunny times.

B.W.H - Stop

Just the thing for a comedown morning to put a smile on a tired face - a spot of disco, a slight space-disco feel to it and not too much in the way of vocals.

Midnight Magic – Drop Me A Line

Another track that Seth Troxler has been playing recently, albeit at a faster pace than this.  Not my favourite Midnight Magic disco track (that is the amazing Beam Me Up) but such a delight nonetheless.

Fafa Monteco - Disco CIty

This reminds me of the disco-house sounds that I used to dance to in the late 1990's, really happy feeling, filtered house.  Something Daft Punk's forebears may have made.

Cajmere – God Sent

The first half of this track is a very vocal-led disco-house track, from Jamie Jones’ fabric CD – and so groovy and cool – the second half warbles on and loses interest but the first half of it is so good, it had to be listed.  Incidentally, only the first half of the track is on said fabric CD!

Previous tune

Doctor's Cat - Feel The Drive

A fantastic piece of Italo-disco all the way back from 1983 I think, which I have just discovered - or at least re-discovered because I found it on an old Secretsundaze cd - I thoroughly recommend getting a higher quality version than the one on Youtube - and turning the volume up and having a proper disco dance!

Wham - Club Tropicana (Todd Terje Edit)

Well, it is the season to be jolly so I reckon I can get away with posting a disco edit of one of the best pop songs ever produced, if only because the video was filmed at a hotel in Ibiza - and for anyone who moans about the amount of pop stars, etc in Ibiza nowadays - a little delve into history and you will find the 1980's arguably more so.

The XX - Cystalised (Jamie Jones' Booty Mix)

Another piece of disco-house beauty from Jamie Jones – The XX are apparently quite well thought of themselves, the lead singer features on another one of my favourites tracks.

Russ Yallop - Rock Me

I heard this quite a while ago but only just discovered it, another disco-house gem on Crosstown Rebels, fast becoming one of my favourite labels.

Midnight Magic - Beam Me Up (Jacques Renault Remix)

This is a piece of total disco magic, if it were made in 1979 it would be a total disco classic but no it is from 2010!

Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere (Psychemagik Remix)

Oh yeah - a disco version of a Fleetwood Mac classic.  Happy days!  I honestly never thought I would be writing about Fleetwood Mac.  "I wanna be with you everywhere".

Escape from New York - Fire in My Heart

Fantastic piece of disco that Craig Richards played at fabric the other weekend, just so warm and groovy, all of 26 years old now, and very sing-alongable.

40 Thieves feat Qzen - Don't Turn It Off

This has a really good disco feel to it – shame it is only 4 or so minutes long but well worth a listen or three.

Robert James - Sleep Moods

Oh this is excellent, first heard it on a Jamie Jones mix, so as you may imagine it is slightly disco-fuelled but solid house track, with light and dark.

Black Van – Yearning

Beautiful piece of disco-house, could almost bring a tear of joy to one’s eye.

Superpitcher - Rabbits In A Hurry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elAwU0gKzvgGuitar-disco in a twisted minimal way.  Different, but good.  More of a 8am tune.

Muravchix - Replicants Lament

Brilliant bit of new Italo-disco, loving the synth stabs.

Unfortunately no Youtube video on this one, so you will have to do with a sample from Juno.  Or go and seek it yourself.

If anyone finds a link please do let me know.

Stevie Wonder – All I Do (U-Tern Disco Edit)

A bit of Stevie Wonder?  What is happening to me?  Rather soulful and a bit of disco, it is rather good.  Recommended to me by my good friend Matt Powell a few months back.

Clickbox – Bad Fish

A disco-minimal style track that I’ve heard Magda play – alas not live
