..|.|.|.. Disco Obsession 2012

I have been quietly obsessed with disco for over a year now. Not the soundtrack from Saturday Night Fever kind of disco (although that’s great and certainly has it’s place). No, I’m talking about the white label hidden in the crate gems. Plus some off-label stuff from artists you recognize. Some old music, some new tracks, some recently reworked treasures. My goal here is to keep the bass pumping. You have to move. You can’t resist it.

Nods to Matty Matt and Dicky Trisco for the Stephanie Mills and Nancy Martin songs, respectively.

..|.|.|.. DJ Huggy Bear

And the award for best DJ business card goes to…

Apparently he does a killer Saturday party at the Ace Hotel. I haven’t been, but Paper Magazine seems to approve. You can check out his R&B stylings on SoundCloud:

..|.|.|.. Sunlight

I walked out of work today at 5pm and it was beautiful outside. The sun was shining. The temperature was perfect. It just felt so good. Then I came home and listened to this song:

Sunlight indeed.

I’m headed to Ibiza soon. Maine first, then Ibiza. I call it my rhyming vacation: “I’m going to Maine…then I’m going to Spain.”

..|.|.|.. Shine On

I am obsessed. Obsessed with modern disco, that is. I just can’t seem to get enough these days. I like the new stuff that’s being written, and I like the old stuff that’s being remixed with modern disco flair. Check out folks like Late Nite Tuff Guy and Psychemagik for a taste of what I’m talking about. And of course my good friend Shorty. Love it.

Here’s a quick mix I put together that’s perfect for a sunny Sunday afternoon. The mixes aren’t all as tight as I would like, but I the vibe is right so I’m going to let it ride. It’s messy but good, and it will get your feet tapping and your head bobbing:

1. Still Going – Untitled Love [Original Mix] / 00:00
2. Sister Sledge – One Night In A Disco [Late Nite Tuff Guy Muscle Mix] / 00:42
3. LNTG – Sun Goddess [Late Nite Tuff Guy's Eternal Dance Mix] / 08:07
4. Firefly – Love’s Gonna Be On Your Side / 13:47
5. Escort – Starlight [Greg Wilson Version] / 19:50
6. Al Hudson & The Partners – You Can Do It [12" Version] / 25:17
7. K.I.D. – Don’t Stop [Original Mix] / 29:15
8. Tony Orlando – Don’t Let Go [Psychemagik Edit] / 33:41
9. Fromage Disco – I Like It More / 37:18
10. Kashif – Lover Turn Me On [Simon Busby Edit] / 43:06
11. TVS – Moving On Up [Fromage Disco Edit] / 45:21
12. Deep&Disco – Love Has Come Around [Deep&Disco Version] / 48:51
13. K.I.D. – Take It To The Top [Touchsoul Edit] / 55:25
14. Isaac Hayes – Zeke the Freak [Todd Terje Rekutt] / 1:01:58
15. Bodie Lee – Monaco [DJ Agent 86's Disco-Bomb Edit] / 1:05:43
16. DJ Agent 86 – So Hot [Space Ranger Remix] / 1:09:09
17. George Duke – Shine On [Late Nite Tuff Guy's Boogie Edit] / 1:14:23

I DJed my friend Deb’s going away party last night in Brooklyn. Good times, except for the rain. It was slow to get started, but it all worked out. People showed up. And they danced. And it was the perfect opportunity for me to try out my new disco-themed set.

Good luck in California, Deb. We’re gonna miss you.

..|.|.|.. Deadmau5

A few weeks ago I flew up to Toronto to catch a Deadmau5 set for a Canadian music channel called Much. The beauty was it was going to be in an 800-person room, and he was bringing the full mask, cube, and light show. Sounds fun, right?

I’ve been trying to make it to a Deadmau5 show for years now. I’ve actually bought tickets twice before and not been able to make it either time. So this was my third attempt. What could possibly go wrong?

As it turned out, he had been doing gigs in England and was trying to fly out of Heathrow when they closed the airport for snow. And kept it closed. And kept it closed some more. So he didn’t make it to Toronto in time for the show. So much for three being a charm.

On the plus side, he is doing the show tonight and Much is streaming it live at 10pm ET here.

And if you can’t wait until 10pm you can check out his Web site: http://www.deadmau5.com/
