Christine Wiltshire and Holly Oas, the two singers of Poussez!

Poussez! – Never Gonna Say Goodbye (1979)
Poussez! – You’re All I Have (1979)

Cobra Cut – Night Prism (2007)

This may be a band to follow in the future… Cobra Cut. Those two DJ’s and producers from Toronto managed to compose this track like an intergalactic synthesized odyssey mainly inspired by the 80′s.

Bonus: thanks to “DJs are persons” here’s a discovery mix:

DAP024: Cobra Cut – mix – 2008-12-10

Number One Ensemble – Love Express (1980)

Number One Ensemble – Love Express (Cobra Cut Edit)

First the original song of N.O.E. that appeared on “Gipsylon” LP and then a recent edit by Cobra Cut…

The “Hi-Fi Performance” (LP released in 1976) is a french project full of demented breaks and nice melodies.
Let the groove take control of your body!

Performance – Dynamite Dragster
Performance – Headline
Performance – Marathon

Thanks to Soul Train for this discovery.

Earth has surrendered… we repeat: Earth has surrendered.

 Barry de Vorzon – V The Final Battle (part 2)

Steve Bender – The Final Thing (Instrumental Version)

A midtempo track “inna supa funky disco style” produced by Pete Bellotte (from Munich Machine in between).

The 12 inches was released in 1977 on London Rec.
Gimme mo’ !

David Carretta – Love Lazer Dance Sex (2008)
(Listen to the full track)

Carretta‘s 3rd album is released (related post) and it’s simply a masterpiece IMHO.

I could sum up this as the adventures of an italo lover who falled in love with a female android disco dancer. Shall I tell you the end ?… No, just listen to the whole story on Last.fm.

“Welcome To Joyland” (1978) is an obscure project led by Peter Baumann (from Tangerine Dream and Berlin Express).

It’s a fantastic trip in another galaxy: synthesizers in front, disco all around and pop in the background. Enjoy it!

Leda – Endless Race

Leda – Movin’ On

Leda – City Of Light

Leda – Space Ride

See you on saturday!

No dancing !? … it’s crazy!
When politics are getting really dumb
here comes the time to remember those crazy moves.

Ahzz – New York’s Movin’ (1981)

So here’s a freakin’ funky disco instrumental by Ahzz (collaboration between Osborne Hunter, the producer, and Steve Boston, writer, percussionist…).

Awesome guitar riffs, groovy bassline, twisted drums, whirling violins, all the essential for me.

Ginny – Can’t Be Serious (1985)

Ginny Clee was a serious singer and party headbanger. Here’s a good new wave sound produced by Chris Baylis & Hugh Murphy with a light touch of disco.

This is the original song covered more recently by A Mountain Of One (related post). I didn’t even know that and this song is sooo chilling out.

Musique – Keep On Jumpin’ (1978)
(Listen to the full track)

Here’s another big classic tune to make you bounce.
Keep On Jumpin’ LP produced by the grandmaster Patrick Adams with his divas’ vocals released on Prelude.

As a bonus I’m attaching this efficient edit by Disco Beard on the unreleased “Beardism” LP.

Musique – Keep On Jumpin’ (MiniDisco Edit) (2007)

Trophy – Slow Flight (Instrumental Version)  (1982)

African Art in Zanzibar

Shina Williams & His African Percussionists – Agboju Logun

Something warm for this winter: a great afro beat, funky vibes and exotic vocals.

Originally released in 1984 for the label Earthworks, selected for the compilation “Nigeria 70 The Definitive Story of 1970′S Funky Lagos” in 2001 and more recently for Supersound.

Enzo Ponzio – Italian Boy (2007)

“Works Part I” released on Pizzico Records. More to discover on his myspace profile.

Thanks to the blog 24:Hours for sharing an exclusive Enzo Ponzio DJ-Set “with tasty beats, sweet melodies and of course great songs, it’s a party starter”.

This past month has mostly spotted classic tunes between 1978 to the 80′s and others ofcourse:

1. Azoto – San Salvador
1979 (See original post)

2. Vivien Vee – Gotta Go
1983 (See original post)

3. Ray Lynch – Tiny Geometries
1984 (See original post)

4. Ann-Margret – Love Rush – E Minor
1979 (See original post)

5. Psyche – Unveiling The Secret
1986 (See original post)

(more…)

Drion – Disco-Action (Part 1) (1979)

It is in fact a sort of 10 minute long medley of re-arranged disco tunes. Aiming at lazy DJs of that era for sure… Anyway fun if you love blind tests.

This is what appears to be the redux of the great The Light Of Your Dress, now finally properly released – at last.

College – End Theme (2008)

This version is undoubtedly less hypnotic than the “draft”, and more dancefloor-oriented maybe, yet still catchy in its own way.

Kano – China Star (1983)
