Calvin Harris, “The Girls” (Cendrim Remix)
We’re a sucker for Calvin Harris here at Disco Potential Manor and this over-the-top, Madeon-influenced dancefloor reworking is just about perfect. Go and click and download for your own nefarious purposes.
July 2012
DJ Zimmo, “Mine Once Again”
DJ Zimmo hits disco house gold once again. We hope he has a titanium mansion on his own private island for his efforts.
Crek & Carly Rae Jepsen, “Let Call Me Maybe” (Giu Pacheco Bootleg)
The chop job done on Carly Rae Jepsen’s vocals on this track should probably get someone an award. It doesn’t hurt that the Crek track is fantastic as all hell.
Steed Lord, “Hear Me Now”
Eddie House (we don’t think that’s his real name, mind) really does a number on this record, elevating something that was pretty okay into something that’s quite great. (No, we’re not just saying that because of the swooshing noises, but they don’t hurt.)
Future Feelings, “Drive”
The sax, you guys. The sax!
Eddy Grant, “Electric Avenne” (Disco Tech Edit)
This is one of those tracks we see a lot of people try to do something good with. Very few succeed. The Disco Tech crew does, and they claim this is only a first draft.
Skibblez, “Take Me There”
Very French grooves in this slice of beach house with a buoyant bassline. Highly recommended.
RAC (featuring Liz Anjos), “Something About Us”
A lovely, spacey cover of Daft Punk’s second best love song to start off your week. Click the link to go download for that mixtape you wanted to make that guy or girl.
Young Digerati, “Peak Performance” (80s Stallone Remix)
A fine, fine slice of synthpop with some nice spins into early 90s Anything Box territory before kicking into a light-hearted take on the Carpenter Soundtrack groove. Very well done.
Kut Curners, “Summers Song”
Bouncy and warm and fun and kind of perfect, what?

Human League, “Being Boiled” (Peza Rework)
This turns a fairly straightforward synthpop classic into the sort of thing that you’d want to listen to while reading Burning Chrome. In fact, let’s all go do that.
DJ Zimmo, “Get Ready”
This is how you do disco house, guys. Everyone take notes.
Blondie, “Atomic” (Special Hard 12 Inch Remix By Pied Piper)
I don’t think we like where Pied Piper is going with naming this the “Special Hard” remix, but here. Enjoy it.
Luis Duran, “London Night”
Just the tiniest bit of two-step swing in this jazzy disco number that’s perfect for your cocktail party or late-night cab ride.
Holeatta Lolloway, “Burnin’ Up” (Chewy Dub)
Chewy performs some serious disco dub science on Loleatta Holloway’s “Love Sensation” and Cevin Fisher’s track featuring the diva “(You Got Me) Burnin’ Up” to create a new thing that we like very much.
Sohight & Cheevy, “Only God Can Dance Me”
We’re not quite sold on that vocal this time, but the insistent grove and terrific break down make this worth checking out.
Ren Riz, “Break Love”
Just click that link to download each of the tracks from Ren Riz’s 2010 EP Secrets in Stereo EP for free. They’re not quite at the level that Disco Potential is used to from him now, but they’re still very listenable.
