Good Life Mix 30: Queen & Disco

Another deadly Good Life mix, this time by Queen & Disco - who I came across while looking up disco edits on Soundcloud - Alan Mooney is a co-founder and he makes some very sweet disco vibes on his page. This mix is sweet disco getting into some very funky stuff! Love it.



Check out the mix Fingerman did for Good Life as well here.

Kiwi Live at The Nest: 4 hour disco set

Artwork by the excellent Fuschia MacAree

This is one of the best disco sets I've ever heard. And considering the company I keep, that's saying something. Gets super 80s and funky and disco space lasery, especially in the last hour. SO good. I am sure that was a quality night in The Nest. It's  over a year old, but if you haven't heard it, check it out. Making that wintery day fly. 

I've been listening to lots of Kiwi since my Tiny Choons co-host played his amazing tune 'The Guanako Haka' (below) on our last show. Check it out here. It's SO good. And not in any way disco, so the 4 hour set above was very unexpected in his soundcloud feed. Although I did just look up his Facebook page and under 'genre' it says 'fuck genres' - which may explain it. I love anyone who can lash out the beats but also seriously appreciate the disco vibe!

Deadly Free DLs - Vol 3 : Disco and Hip Hop

SO it seems like Soundcloud are pissing a lot of people off by removing their tunes and mixes and not having deals in place to support deejays properly. Going to be interesting to see where the tide moves the tunes. But for the time being there are still loads of amazing tracks on there, here is another collection of great edits and remixes all with free DL. Threw in a bunch of hip hop ones this time too. Go support the artists and deejays and check out the rest of their stuff!



Check out Vol 1 and Vol 2 if you missed them.

Fingerman: Good Life Mix 020

It's Sunday afternoon and all my pals are at disco brunch. And I'm in work daydreaming about disco brunch! This mix by Fingerman for Leed's Good Life mix series is helping somewhat to alleviate my fomo. Serious upbeat disco party vibes including one of my favourites 'Peg' - and there's a DL link. Hurrah!



I've posted another deadly Fingerman mix on Swooner - check it out here.

Discopath

Happy Hallowe'en! Went to see a movie last weekend as part of Horrorthon called 'Discopath' - it's about a guy who gets an uncontrollable urge to kill whenever he hears disco music. It's set in New York and Montreal in the 70s and it is flipping awesome. It's the perfect mix of horror, comedy and sweet disco tunes! Not sure if it was supposed to be as amusing and schlocky as we thought it was but we all loved it. Some amazing gore and creepiness balanced out with amazing Beastie Boy style cops, fast paced action (the movie flew by at only 80 mins) and a load of lesbians thrown in for good measure. Not for everyone of course, but it was basically my dream movie! We might have to show this at a future Swooner Movie Night!



This song features a good bit:

Rayko's Boogie Madness mixtape October 2012

Holy Ghost!'s RBMA Headphone Highlights show

I am all up in Holy Ghost!'s grill at the moment. (Well. Ever since Cosmic Kids remixed their tune 'Hold My Breath' - check it here if you don't know it already, it's amazing.) This is Holy Ghost!'s Red Bull Headphone Highlights - the New York pair talk us through some of the tunes that have influenced them and their sweet disco style. It includes a couple of their edits and some De La Soul and Sister Sledge. And they seem like lovely young fellas. One of them calls that Lenny Williams tune 'a stone cold jam' - which is my new favourite phrase. And they were right. It is:

Swooner Exclusive Mix no.1: Chewy's Awesome Fuckin' Welles Disco Mix

It's here! The first ever Swooner Exclusive Mix! It's a super-funky disco mix by Chewy, which is apt, considering this mix series was his idea in the first place. He suggested it on the way to Body and Soul Festival earlier this year while I was getting us only slightly lost. We were listening to Greg Wilson's Essential Mix and reminiscing about all the sweet tunes we used to listen to when we were younger. I immediately signed him up to be the first Swooner special guest and here we are! A mix for dancing with a couple of those old sweet tunes thrown in from one of the purveyors of Dublin's patented Disco Brunch. Thanks Chewy!
