Taken from his 1982 album Face to Face, legendary Canadian disco producer Gino Soccio is the provider of this week’s Friday wind down track with the superb ‘You Move Me’. A sultry and funky disco boogie number, its slinky and silky grooves will have you panting for the weekend and what not. Well, it’s got [...]
Single of the Day: Michele – Disco Dance (Tom Moulton mega mix)
We’ve got an absolute disco monster today, as I delve into my West End Records collection once again to bring you this 1977 gem from Michele. Mixed and produced by Tom Moulton, this epic thirteen minute dazzler was Patrick Cowley’s first production credit (I’ve plumped for Moulton’s mega mix version for today’s SOTD). The track [...]
Single of the Day: Black Devil Disco Club – For Hoped (dub)
Taken from their 2008 album Eight Oh Eight, today’s Single of the Day comes courtesy of the brilliant Black Devil Disco Club. A dark and pulsating cosmic oddity, the dub version of ‘For Hoped’ navigates the listener through a cyber futuristic jungle of hypnotic rhythms and sounds and serves as a reminder of BDDC’s mastermind [...]
Linda Law – All The Night
We’re carrying on the sauciness here at Daysarenumbers with this deliciously devilish track from the sublime Linda Law. The b-side to her cover of the Moody Blue classic ‘Nights In White Satin’, this ridiculously slinky electronic disco cut from 1979 keeps on going on all night, if ya know what I mean!! (OK, I’ll stop [...]
Single of the Day – Quango – Soljering On
Released on the Sonoton label in 1978, Quango and Sparky’s self-titled LP apparently was a soundtrack to a saucy flick! Providing the hot and heavy sounds to ‘A Girl’s Best Friend’, the album is packed with some ‘deep’ and ‘meaty’ (sorry) disco cuts and some sexy library music as the track ‘Soljering On’ ably demonstrates. [...]
Claudja Barry – Love For The Sake Of Love (Pete Herbert re-edit)
This superb re-edit of Cluadja Barry’s slinky ballad ‘Love For The Sake Of Love’ is lovingly reconstructed by the fantastic Pete Herbert. By simply extending the famous, much sampled intro (and sexy speaking bit), Herbert manages to create a mellow Balearic disco ballad. Nice and cosy! You can get your hands on this re-edit and [...]
Single of the Day – Queen Samantha – Give Me Action
Renowned for her immortal 1979 Italo-Disco crossover track, ‘Take A Chance’ (A TK Records classic btw), The Queen of HI-NRG and dance, Queen Samantha, released today’s SOTD, ‘Give Me Action’ in 1982. A superb disco bomb that glitters and sparkles like the bright city lights of eighties New York, this is definitely a cut above [...]

Single of the Day: The Flying Lizards – Summertime Blues
The summer is not all fun in the sun for those of us who have to go to boring work, in fact Eddie Cochrane penned his classic 1958 rock ‘n’ roll anthem, ‘Summertime Blues’ to all the dispirited kids who had to work at Boots in Tamworth over the holidays (yes, that was me dear [...]
Single of the Day: Forrrce – Keep On Dancin’ (Phase II)
Mixed by the one and only Francois Kevorkian, Forrrce’s ‘Keep On Dancin’ (Phase II)’ was released in 1980 on Mel Cheren’s ubiquitous West End Records. A personal favourite of Mel’s, it’s a sure-fire party track where liquid funk meets reverb-filed disco with added cowbells and sound effects thrown in for groovy measure. FUNK!! Keep On [...]
