Grant Phabao and Djouls Are Molesting Laura Again

Grant Phabao and Djouls - Are Molesting Laura Again!

Hot damn! Laura hasn't been rightfully disco enough in her head and will need to be molested at least once a month again this year! You should know the damsel by now since we've been molesting her for so many years… Well we've sent messages all over, the answers were all the same: keep on bashing the lady! So here we are. And we promise to be back every month. Molesting Laura Again!...

Captain Detendu and Djouls Are Molesting Santa

Captain Detendu & Djouls - Are Molesting Santa

We know a lot of people enjoyed the Jan Kohlmeyer Yuletide DJ Mix posted early december (very funky!), but that didn't mean we wouldn't also be there for our annual 'Wishing you a stupid Xmas' audio greetings. Every year you know you can count on Captain Détendu (the man from J.E.W.P.O.P.) to spice the Christmas selection with some eccentric carols and Hawaiian jingles. This year's mix is, as...

Paris DJs Soundsystem Pomp and Circumstance

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Pomp & Circumstance

This one is mainly a warm-up mix in black and white (hence the title and artwork), presenting contemporary and international mento, ska, reggae & dub with young blood and legends. Lee Scratch Perry's got the final and mystic word with his under-exposed last release Rise Again (superbly crafted by Bill Laswell, with Steven Bernstein on trumpet and Bernie Worrell on keys), a title which sounds...

Bio Ritmo Salsa Pal Mundo

Bio Ritmo - Salsa Pa’l Mundo

Did you pass on La Verdad, the latest Bio Ritmo album released at the end of the summer on Electric Cowbell Records? If that's the case, then you've missed the Salsa album of the year, no less. The only letdown of this fantastic & frantic record is its length - under 40 minutes - definitively too short, but explainable by the fact that it's also available on a (heavily recommended) vinyl. Rei...

Jan Kohlmeyer Yuletide DJ Mix for Paris DJs

Jan Kohlmeyer - Yuletide DJ Mix

The Paris DJs German connection runs deep in time.

When we saw he was releasing a Soul and Funk Chistmas compilation this year we couldn't pass on inviting him for our annual xmas mix. Tobias pointed us...

Al Kent 60 Minutes French Kiss

Al Kent's 60 Minutes French Kiss

Al Kent's reputation for re-editing Disco tracks is just massive and we're VERY proud to offer this exclusive mix. The man has been releasing tons of good stuff in the last ten years, on his on Million Dollar Disco label, on Barely Breaking Even (BBE Records - check his Disco Love compilations), or under his own name or as the Million Dollar Orchestra… He's just one of the Disco kings out there...

Nostalgia 77 Relics Three
