Enjoying the Disco Bloodbath mix on Beats in Space which you can grab here, particularly the way this one slides in ... Ganymed with the title track from the album 'Future World'.

Don Ray - Midnight Madness

A fiendishly good night was had by all at our 'Keep The Dead Alive' bash at East Village. The lyrics of this classic from Don Ray provide a fitting summary of the night's activities and you can check out more pics on our Facebook page here.

Dennis Parker - Like An Eagle



Todd Terje at East Village, London tomorrow night, woohoo! Here's a favourite of the Norwegian disco dude, 'Like An Eagle' by Dennis Parker. Mr. Parker was apparently a porn star in the 70s (well of course, with that 'tache!) who caught AIDS then blew his brains out with a shotgun. Great video!

Mach - On and On

A cut 'n' paste classic. Originally released in 1980 on the b-side of a bootleg put together by a Miami DJ it features excerpts from Lipps Inc 'Funky Town', Donna Summers 'Bad Girls', Playback 'Space invaders' and Munich Machine 'Get on the Funk Train'. By the mid-1980's, pioneering house DJs had made this an underground club smash in Chicago.



If you haven't seen this amazing DJ Rahaan youtube clip, watch all the way through to see this track smashing the dancefloor 20 years on. And on (beep beep!).

The Cosmic Sound Orchestra - Fly Some Funk Up To The Moon

The last in a cosmic disco 'Baia Sound' trilogy this week, this originated from Germany in 1978. Slightly bonkers, trippy in parts and apparently another Baldelli play. Hey it's Friday, lets fly some funk right up to the moon!

John Forde - Stardance

This release on Sidewalk records from 1977 seems to be prized for the tracks 'Woman' and 'Don't You You Know Who Did It?' (which is excellent). Both were apparently played by the 'father of comsic disco' Daniele Baldelli and his fans have payed big bucks for the record since. This is the third track on the EP and a lovely spacey disco groove it is too. Much easier to track down on a 7" and you get the bonus of some quite sexy options on sleeve art depending on which release you go for:

Italian ...


... or French?

Enjoy the music.

Ganymed - It Takes You Higher

Ganymed was an Austrian space disco outfit who took their name from an asteroid that looks suspiciously like a huge disco ball. Like a lot of European disco, their music has an electronic feel with camp tendencies. This one from the album 'Takes You Higher' is no exception but it works for me as I hope it does for you. The asteroid is pretty cool too, check it out.
