Disco Potential: A NuDisco and Dance Music Tumblr.

“ Neil: What’s gonna happen in America is what happened to disco. Suddenly everyone is gonna says ‘oh God, I fucking hate this’.
Chris:But America always has to rebrand dance music because they can’t let it be known as disco, so every few years they have to come up with a new word to describe disco.
Neil: When we did that remix album, we called it ‘Disco’ because we were told in America you can not call your music ‘Disco’. So we called it ‘Disco’.

Here is the new Five Tracks mix. It features six songs. I am becoming increasingly bad at counting the number of songs needed for one of these mixes. This one’s a bit faster than the last few and it captures what I’d consider a “peak time” sound for a nu disco night. I hope you enjoy it.

Ego (Blackstrobe Remix) - Drop Out Orchestra
Slave To Your Heart (Mercury Remix) - Zimmer
I Don’t Know What To Do (Erkka Remix) - The Magician
Beaches (Peter Horrevorts Remix) - Steve Mill and Luke Fair
Don’t Fade Away (Human Life’s “E-Return” Remix) - Human Life
Climax (Edwin Van Cleef Remix) - Usher

As always, it’s recommended that you right click and download to your computer for the optimal listening experience. If you enjoy this sort of thing, please reblog. If you are local, you can hear me play these kind of records at River Gods in Cambridge on Friday, May 11 in what I am hoping will become a (bi)monthly residency.

This is a last-gasp-of-summer sort of edition of Five Tracks, all anthemic riffs, pumping fists and sing-a-long bits. I’ve been sitting on that Basoski remix of “Star on 45” for too long, sneaking it into live broadcasts without putting it to tape and I figured it was about time. No real cleverness here, just some boshing tunes. You can, as always, right-click here to download.

I Gotta Let U Go - Peter Gelderblom featuring Dominica
Stars On 45 (Olav Basoski Remix) - Stars on 45
A Night Summer Dream - DJ Chus
I Can’t Help Myself (Tim Mason Extended Remix) - Lucid
Sunshine - David Guetta & Avicii

Oh, hey, a new Five Tracks mix, featuring…uh…five tracks. There’s some very nice nudisco (or is it nu-disco or just ‘nu disco’?) with touches of house in this one. Proper singalong bits, too. Listen on the thing above or, of course, right-click to download here for superior sound through your software.

Cairo (Moullinex Remix) - Kamp!
Bite (Justin Faust Edit) - Publicist
Never Be Alone At Night (Mighty Mouse Remix) - Edwin Van Cleef featuring Gemini Club
Love Begins (Extended Vocal Club Mix) - Matt Samuels featuring Joel Edwards
The Sound Of Violence (Aeroplane Remix) - Cassius

It's got disco potential.
