WAVES AT NIGHT

Posts Tagged with ‘disco’

W—E—P

Having explored a number of directions in their formative stages, World’s End Press (Melbourne) have somehow found their feet moving about in a post-millennium adaptation of classic Disco and House Music. Their loyal following of dancers is testament to an extravagant and exciting live show. Having spent the latter part of last year recording their [...]

FAVICON

NYC’s Jacques Renault (one half of Runaway) can do no wrong at the moment. Every mix/track he has dropped in the last few years hasnt seemed to tire in my ears yet. Favicon is his new release on Canyon’s own label, ‘Hole In The Sky Recordings’, and its four tracks of pure disco edit gold. [...]

Slo Mo

Bryce Isbell (aka FUR) resides in Denton, Texas, which is why I can see the idea of collaborating with Alan Palomo of Neon Indian and VEGA fame on his new release ‘Witches’. I was going to post that track, but decided this one was actually better. The whole album floats around Chill Wave/Glo-Fi territory [...]

DBO

‘People’s Potential Family Album’ is a wicked compilation collecting together the best of the Peoples Potential Unlimited catalogue so far. All of the tracks on the album were previously only available on 12″ or 7″ vinyl releases and this is the first time that these obscure 70’s & 80’s soul, funk & disco gems have [...]

CONTROVERSY: PETE HERBERT

[ February 13, 2010; 8:00 pm; ]

Just as the summer heat was killing us all, Controversy decides to pop up again and taunt us with its beauty for a night full of greatness this Saturday night (13/2/2010) at Roxanne, Melbourne. As we like helping friends here at the blog, we are happy to put out the good word of this spectacle, [...]

BIG GHEY BOAT PARTY PT II

Making it’s triumph return to the seas is the long-awaited sequel: the Big Gay Boat Part 2, taking place on Feb 14th. This date also happens to be Valentines Day so really, I cannot think of a better thing to do/place to be, with a loved one. Two decks showcasing a high-tide vibe of romance [...]

DEEP INSIDE

Some gems for you here. All very highly recommended.
You probably would have heard this one before out on some big speakers. Skatt Bros cult classic ‘Walk The Night’ was, and still is, a dance floor bomb.
MP3: Skatt Bros – Walk The Night (12” Single)
Finally got around to picking up the latest RVNG of the [...]

TOSH

One of the best eclectic mixes I have heard in ages. As good as/better than most Optimo or Glimmers mixes. Huge props to Tosh Ohta (and to one of the best blogs around for the link, The Beat!).
Tracklisting:
# Happy Mondays – Wrote for Luck (Tribute edit) / Tribute
# Moloko – Sing It Back (Mousse T’s [...]

BANG

This may perhaps be my last post before christmas as Im off down the coast to soak up the sun; and while Im in a happy, sunny mood I think Ill lay out some great disco cuts for your listening pleasure.
I saw Tim Sweeney play last weekend here in Melbourne (well, Meredith Music Fest to [...]

1984

I am more than obsessed with RVNG. Anything RVNG I have to have, as it always pure gold. Eclectic mixes, disco edits, new producers…..it has it all. The only thing to come close to it in my opinion is Black Disco. The latest Black Disco tracks have been amazing. So I thought Id compile up [...]

COMME JE SUIS

Yes I’m back from Berlin. Unfortunately I didn’t pick up as much good music over there as I hoped I would but Ive still got some gold to post anyway. So open up your ears, you freak.
First up is a compilation of European Minimal Wave ‘81-’86 (with an emphasis on Belgium) called ‘The Lost Tapes‘. [...]

LOVING THE ANCIENT

It always saddens & frustrates me when a promising new band that you actually LOVE, great sound, new / different / exciting EP etc, drop their debut record it’s less than amazing.
Tigercity’s awesome Pretend Not To Love EP was brimming with touches of funky Prince, Holy Ghost style disco and Junior Boys electro pop. While [...]

C86

Totally loving the new Memory Tapes LP, Seek Magic. Dayve Hawk combines his two side projects Weird Tapes, and Memory Cassette into the one sleek project, and the results couldnt be much better. Alot of this stuff has been making the rounds for some time now but its great to hear the final product. Ranging [...]

LATE NITE TUFF GUY

I’ve been pretty excited lately to feature new releases from fresh label Lightspeed Records, the latest project for Melbourne DJ turned producer Agent 86. Last month saw the first release, ‘Let There Be Light’, his own collection of funk-filled edits that included the Olivia Newton John inspired track ‘Magic‘ (you can grab it here if [...]

CHAINS

Dead Mellotron hails from Monroe, Louisiana and is made up of one member, simply known as Frazier. He has made his debut EP, Ghost Light Constellation, available for free download in its entirety on the band’s website.
Full of sweeping distortion and epic spaced out drums, especially on Untitled, the EP gives me the same feel [...]
