Ghostface Killah - Charlie Brown (CSK OK Remix) on Hyperbole blog



Don't know anything about Aussies CSK OK but they turned this Ghostface Killah track back into the disco hip hop madness sounds I wuv from back in the day. You got to be stone faced killer to not boogie on to this.

Bad Skinned - Jaccques Renault on the Beat blog

Matthew Stone played this last night when we played disco at Durrr and it was soooo good. I guess it came out on the Italians Do it Better thing which has to also do with Glass Candy. New retro sounding excellent stuff.

Barry Mason "Body (Faze Action Edit)" on the Mosquito Chimney

Once again, I filtered though a whole bunch of apparently interesting (but not really) posts of rare disco that people are trying to get excited about to find the one that had the building instrumentals, the spacey vocals, the whole she-disco-bang. Enjoy. And once you go to this Mosquito Chimney blog, have a look around. Those Chimneys are all crazy rare collectors.

Computer Music - Central Unit & Circuit - David Rubato

I've been excited about the Aeroplane remix of David Robato's Circuit for some weeks now but then I found this Steve Moore remix on 20 Jazz Funk Greats blog and it's really beautiful (though not quite as dancey as the Aeroplane mix). At the same time I found this great blog which lists fantastic lesser known 80s dance mixes and discovered the Computer Music - Central Unit track and noted how similar it was to the Rubato.

Funky Green Tab blog for list (but no downloads) of great 80s stuff.

Zeigeist - Humanitarianism (The Twelves Remix) on Le Touch blog


The Zeigeist stuff on its own sounds a bit like a slightly shallower less inventive version of their fellow countrymen The Knife. But this remix is almost in the same league as the amazing Aeroplane stuff floating around. I still can't believe the Aeroplane remix of Rubato's Circuit is not blogged yet. Most djs have it (cause it's in a million mix sets on the net) and it's amazing. It's going to be in a disco podcast I did on the Durrr website as soon as they post it.

Vampire Weekend covers Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac) on Pretty Much Amazing blog

I'm sorry I just pretty much like everything these guys do. It just has the sound of musicians who know what they're doing. This is maybe not quite dancefloor friendly, but lovely version.

Also special mention to this L.A. Riots remix of Ting Tings That's Not My Name on Penned Madness blog.
