Break out the poppers and get your dancing shoes on! This lively Members Only re-edit of Tempest Trio’s 1979 sleaze classic loops and deliciously distorts the original in a manner that Ron Hardy himself would be proud of. A dizzying and exhilarating edit, it evokes feelings of euphoria, sweat and [...]
Sleaze Week Begins!

Patti Labelle – Get Ready (Looking For Love) (Back To The Music Box edit)
I still can’t believe its January. It’s a long month alright. If you’re feeling the mid-month or mid-week blues, then blast them away with the winning combination of Patti Labelle and Ron Hardy! Lifted from Ms. Labelle’s 1980 album Released, ‘Get Ready (Looking For Love)’ was one of Chicago house [...]
Clinic – Bubblegum (Mark E remix)
Slo-mo disco don Mark E puts on his surgical mask and expertly dissects Clinic’s title single from their brilliant 2010 album Bubblegum. Stuttering ‘n’ sleazy acid beats hazily collide with unsettling strobe-filled synths, transforming the Liverpudlian post-punkers’ original into a dirty kaleidoscopic basement club banger. (Sorry for using the word [...]
Blue Vision – Visions
Released in 1984 on EMI Electrola, Blue Visions’ ‘Visions’ is something of a cult favourite amongst cosmic/italo fans. Straddling the groove continuum of space disco and the synth soundscape of a sci-fi soundtrack, this is what the Tomorrow’s World theme would sound like if it was re-imagined by Danile Baldelli. [...]
Greg Kihn Band – Jeopardy (instrumental version)
Everybody knows Greg Kihn Band’s early 80s pop/dance classic ‘Jeopardy’, hell, even Weird Al spoofed it back in the eighties. But there’s always an excuse to post this 1983 gem in any shape or form. So enjoy this instrumental version, with its lovely reverb, big drums and Italian-style synth keys. [...]
Tony Cook & The Party People – On The Floor (Rock It)
Hello everybody! Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. I thoroughly enjoyed the festive period but I’ve got the sniffles today (boo!), so let’s crack on with our first post of 2011 (yay!). Released in 1983, Tony Cook’s classic ‘Party People On The Floor (Rock It)’ is [...]
Groovy Ghosts of Yule: Vincent Montana Jr. & The Montana Sextet – God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Our Christmas countdown wouldn’t be a Christmas countdown without at least one disco interpretation of a traditional English Christmas carol. This year’s effort comes from Mr. ‘Heavy Vibes’ himself, Vincent Montana and his Montana Sextet. The prolific disco producer is probably best known for his work with MFSB and for [...]
Days Are Numbers’ House of Magic Waves Mix
Hello! Here’s my specially commissioned mix that I recorded for this year’s Magic Waves Festival. Showcasing the wide range of electronic music that we love, this mini mix smoothly glides from classic new beat, cosmic Salsoul to vintage Italo and nu wave house (well, I hope it does ). Enjoy! [...]
David Keaton – Space Control
Released in 1983 on the famous Roulette Records, David Keaton’s funky cosmic excursion has a loose Italo elasticity with a nice electronic boogie. Slightly camp, this will have you bouncing around the galaxy (or your room) like a disco Buzz Aldrin. Now there are some words I thought I’d never [...]
