Just found the first 12” I ever bought, from Record & Tape (as it then was) in Camden. Thought I’d sold tbh. Kind of a banger too.

And finally, the pinnacle of rushy disco, France’s Joli… who was 17, the same age as my wayward daughter, when she made this. Got told off for overusing the lazer, when I played this at HMD years ago… how is ‘too much lazer’ even a thing? Also video is 🔥💃🏽🪩

Hott City is another record that should be huge. I heard Rahaan play the other side (ain’t love grand) when he first came to the uk but the B side is the banger. House before house. Italo before italo. Properly ahead of its time, sweaty dancing music.

This record was huge in 1979, a chart topping, pull popping, peak time sweaty pumper. But strangely seems to have been forgotten in most of time. Don’t understand because it’s a WTF is this when you first hear it, well it was for me anyway.

This one is so good Harvey named a party after it, when he was just a normal DJ rather than some kind of deity. Listen to that kick though & swishy rushy bits, if you get to the end of this & still have your shirt on, something’s up

This could have just been all Walter Gibbons records but I chose this one because it the most inaccessible hard stepping xtc disco. Personally I love the vocals but stick with it for maximo pumpio

Heard this one on a scratch my tape transfer of a an old Ron Hardy mix about 25 years ago. Frankie used to play it too. Proper pill disco.

Pre YouTube when the internet was still shit & everyone did’t know everything, there was a Japanese website listed Harvey plays with clips. This is where I discovered this & then found it in a in bargain bin. Tbf I preferred it when nerds gate-kept disco.

Couldn’t have an ecstasy disco night without Patrick. Actually, given it’s got wave noises & seagulls, is this Balearic, because any old shit with a few beach sfx seems to be? Either way it’s dreamy.

Think there have been a few edits of this, which is basically making a sow’s ear out of a silk purse. Maybe my favourite record on TK, it’s perfect.

Inspired by a Place Called Tarot, my #raveyardshift tonight is hardcore ecstasy disco bangers, aka disco for dancing on pills (not that I’ve done ofc, if my boss is reading)

First one that you all know & infamously ended MagicJase’s time on Faith fanzine (italo, lol)

I admit I cheated earlier. There were 3 Radar Records together & this isn’t the radarshift, so I skipped them. Gonna cheat again & jump to the back of the bag for Paul Simpson’s r.e.m.i.x. of hit n run, which may just have influenced a certain Detroit DJ 📎🖇️

Right back to very cheap and very cheerful records. Inner City Express ‘Shu Dig Dancing’ is surely an end of the disco dance floor destroyer? So do good

This one is super obscure (Las Vegas electro boogie) & not only do I know zero about Carl or Jahma Records, the internet doesn’t either. But it’s crazy good 😎 And seems to be crazy expensive now too 🫣

Here’s one that should be massive & is! DEPUTY OF LOVE ❤️ If you want a warm fuzzy feeling, go read the comments on YouTube. It’s like old raver remembering Sweet Harmony & being young. But in New York at the end of the 70s. It’s great!

Another record that should be bloody huge but isn’t. Hard stepping Euro tinged disco with a hint Lime,which may be because Joe Le Greca who was behind this was a Denis LePage collaborator 🍋‍🟩 This brown unidisc jackets tho 🤮

Dave Stenton from ToTheBone (great party & podcast from like 15-20 years ago) put me onto this. Got a sleazy Saint vibe. I’m sure there’s a story behind but can’t remember what it is. Nope, I wouldn’t make a great after dinner speaker…

Probably don’t need to say too much about this one but sometimes it’s easy quite how good it is, ecstasy indeed

This on is AMAZING. Metro Area 25 years before Metro Area. I once 5 unplayed UK copies in a charity shop, when they still went for a few quid, which was nice. Guaranteed to blow minds.

I think the best one is pretty obscure, Parris ‘Never Take Your Love Away’. Think I just played in a shop because Brunswick is a killer label but it has the fiercest break & then the vocals kick back in 🔥

The eagle eyed my have figured out the first one already, Brit funk classic, Powerline ‘Journey/Double Journey’, which went onto to be a NY disco classic & signed to a prelude

Not been around for a #raveyardshift for a minute & still between homes, so dipping my toe back in with the first tunes in this bag of unsorted disco-y stuff

Anyone got some top tips for getting bass weejuns re-soled in London? Like a nice balance between quality and price? @mrbrownetc.bsky.social maybe?
