Summer Cruisin

Thanks for downloading another two hours of disco: classics, edits, remixes and brand new tunes. And here in London we've been enjoying some spectacularly hot summer days and nights, which has made me feel like partying more than usual, if that's possible! Sadly we're still not able to gather and groove, but we can come together in spirit with beautiful uplifting music as our unifying force. And so, here goes: don't miss Crackazat's creative use of Earth Wind & Fire accapellas in "Fly away". It's so good it sounds like Maurice White might have made it himself. Billy Porter makes an appearance on "Finally ready" with The Shapeshifters, and I love what Kornum Karma have done in their edit of Change's "Angel in your pocket": I dare you not to dance! There's a trippy disco house vibe happening in the Havana Hustlers' "You and I forever". And in this mix I've picked out a few of those epic extended disco tracks including The Constellation Orchestra's "Perfect love affair" here given an edit by Alien Disco Sugar. See if you can sing along to the annoyingly-well syncopated chorus "We've got - a per-fect love aff-air". Then there's The GB Experience's "Disco Extravaganza" which "borrows" from so many discotheque monsters including Cerrone, and runs for more than 13 minutes. And at over 12 minutes the USA European Connection's "There's a way into my heart" is another discotheque monster. Back in the 1970s did club DJs play these 12 inchers in their entirety? If I'd been on the dancefloor I'd have had to have a sit down or at least a trip to the bar and a loo break in between! Anyway, if you're in the Northern hemisphere I hope you enjoy your summer and I also hope this soundtrack can accompany you. Mixed with love in London. +++++ Every morning during lock-down I've been listening to http://www.discostudio54.com/ which plays the best variety of disco tracks. Recommended!
