liefde en muziek, betere vrienden heb je nie
well, it's time to retire the winter furs and break out the summer leather.... It's been a while since I posted a mix. I've been feeling inspired by fellow disco enthusiasts like JAZ, Odessa, and Sean Donson. Their recent mixes and insight have brought me to this mix. A true labour of love, this is my attempt to capture the cosmic leather disco sound. I hope you will enjoy and feel inspired as well. Who says Disco Sucks?

Hercules and Love Affair - Blind Video
DFA signees Hercules & Love Affair, aka Brooklyn producer Andy Butler, enlists Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons for "Blind", a superb disco track we recently put on repeat. Pitchfork's Mark Richardson called the track "throbbing, rubbery, simultaneously hip-moving loose and mechanically propulsive," and there are aspects of that in the song's video, directed by London-based Saam (Klaxons, These New Puritans, Janet Jackson). Mostly, though, the clip emphasizes the disorientation that can occur with your eyes closed. Actress Jamie Winstone of 2006 UK film Kidulthood walks nervously up toward some people wearing vaguely Roman garb-- they're all surrounded by columns, anyway. As smoke obscures the actress' vision, a bacchanalian orgy takes place all around her, hearkening back to the pre-AIDS days of disco and places like the Continental Baths, where Larry Levan DJed and which advertisers promoted as recalling "the glory of ancient Rome". - from pitchfork

Can You Feel It?
The Jacksons - Can You Feel It
this is a great example of late 70's specialFX, composite imaging. I love how epic the sound effcts are, almost drowning out the killer track behind it. Lord, what ever happened to mikey
Shirley Ross - If You Leave Me Now
there have been many italo covers of popular 70's & 80's chart toppers. Some good, but most are forgettable. However, Shirley Ross's cover of "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago is by far one the truest and finest realizations of this hit. I hope you dig it as much as I do...

and for grins here's the Chicago version I found on Youtube

JAZ's Amor mix
John Zahl a.k.a JAZ can be found all over cyberspace these days with his killer edits of obscure disco on Beard Science and his amazing mixes on Lovefingers.org
In his own words, Jaz "wishes to bring the world of obscure music from the late 1970s and early 1980s together with the history of Lutheran and Cranmerian theological thought."
o.k.
well, I just got this mix from him over the weekend and it's been making sweet sweet rapture to my ears. Here's Jaz's Amor Mix... enjoy
and look out for the new 12" out on Beard Science. Here's the review:
Phonica says:
"Following on from his work on the Beard Science: Razor Sharp Edits twelve that caused a bit of a storm round these parts late last yeat, John Zahl AKA Jaz returns with another 4 high class disco/ funk/ boogie edits for the Sixty Five label. Smoky, funky quality all round!"
Piccadilly says:
"As per usual the lovely paul Murphy sends us his records direct, which means we get no hype or sales notes, which when it comes to edits means trawling the internet searching for lyrics. This time I have been advised not to bother, for Paul, The Idjuts and even Moonboots haven't got a clue what the OG's are. I will still give you a run down. "Show Me The Doll" is an 80's sounding funk / disco crossover with ace bassline and synths, great drum fills and a Bowie-esque delivery (kind of). Next up is "Leg Room", a brilliant wonky piece of sludge disco with sampled voices and a nagging synth loop. Over on side-B "Jokin' My Way" is a bit of rock disco for you and last up is "I Fought The Claw And The Ray-Gun" which to me hints at Ray Mang and possibly Bear Funk / Big Bear, but it doesn't sound like, that being a driving bit of electro disco rock. Aceness all around, Jaz who is just some guy with a full time job, has me flummoxed."
