Tesla55 - Gets You Down (Hit and Run)

Love this new disco with a funky 80s feel

Blackjoy - Mercurian (Jupiter Remix)

It seems all my favorite new disco comes out of France these days. No big surprise really, given that in many ways it is the country where disco house originated. Here's a remix by Jupiter, a name I can't help but think was inspired by the legendary synthesizer. I know they at least have a Jupiter 6, so it must be true.

The song has tons of plucky analog synths, morphed vocals, big wide spectrum snare, and a relatively laid back tempo. It's everything I like about the genre. You can download the mp3 for free on their Facebook page (only 192 kbps, oh well). Stony Roads says Jupiter is putting out an album soon, so that's worth keeping an eye out for.

Midas Touch the Sky - Midnight Star vs. Kanye West (Dual Citizen mashup)

Last time we were in NYC, I picked up the 12" single for one of my favorite disco funk songs, Midas Touch by Midnight Star. Great record, but I was unable to rip the instrumental because my turntable needle sucked.

That all changed just the other day when I finally picked up one these puppies. Now I can rip vinyl to my heart's content.

I grabbed the Midnight Star instrumental and thought another song involving touching would go well with it. Then I found an acapella for Kanye West's 2006 hit Touch the Sky and realized it was meant to be.

Grum - Through The Night [VIDEO]

Happy fucking Friday friends!

I gotta hand it to Grum. He releases entertaining music videos, even if they are sometimes mildly disturbing. He played a couple blocks from our home in May, but we had to miss it because it was super late on a Sunday night and we had to get up early the next day to like, you know, work?

Anyway, here's a touching cop buddy themed video for his song Through The Night. Not exactly what I pictured when I first heard the song, but it totally works. (I've already got cop buddies on the mind in anticipation of Will Ferrell's new movie.) [UPDATE: Will Farrell's movie sucked.]

Check it out!



Here's a mashup I made in May of Grum + Durrough I called Wired To This Feeling.

Marz - Move It Groove It

Holy shit there are a lot of artists called Marz. These guys must be the best. Stumbled across this awesome funky disco track last night on YouTube.



I'll admit I know very little about Marz, except that this LP is rare enough to be fetching upwards of $75 on Discogs. Of course, that made me want it even more!

I couldn't find this album for sale anywhere in digital form, but luckily I stumbled across a friendly blog that zipped up the whole album and offered it for download. But I'll be honest, this is the best song on the album.

Here's the mp3: Marz - Move it Groove It

"Move it... awl night!"
