I’ve had unspeakable computer problems recently.  Losing a hard drive feels like losing a loved-one.  While I get things sorted out, digest this little number which Busy P has been endorsing recently.

A little feel-good disco to compliment a bright Sunday afternoon.

This or that…

Cerrone brings the raw disco flavor:

[mp3] Cerrone – Love Is The Answer

Meanwhile, JR Disco brings the revamped house remix:

[mp3] JR Disco – Love Is The Answer (Club Mix)

take your pick!

From the looks of Todd Terje’s pictures, it seems he has quite a sense of humor.  For a funny guy he can make some serious tunes.

Bang Gang is unstoppable.  They’ve comissioned two remixes from Strip Steve for the release of G.L.O.V.E’s new EP.  When one big name remixes another big name, the results are usually mediocre but I found this to be a pleasant acception.  Pick your flavor.

I’ve grown slightly disenchanted with modern dance music recently.  It’s healthy and only temporary, I’m sure.  In the meantime, I’m dipping into the oldies.  I found this one through Horse Meat Disco’s recent compilation and it’s absolutely brilliant.

If you’ve already heard it, then you know.  If you haven’t heard it yet, give it a listen and just wait for it to hit.  It’s Breakbot’s new mix and it’s golden.  I’ve been able to hunt down most of the individual tracks from the set so have at it!

First, listen to his mix here.

Next, break it down.

[Edit: Thanks to TigerWolf I've been able to hunt down the missing tracks.  Cheers!]

Annie Mac’s recent Essential Mix is on point.  It’s everything I would ever dream to hear if I went clubbing at “the biggest club in the world.”  It’s a perfect slice of modern dance.  She’s setting the standard and I commend her for that.  Here’a rip from BBC1, 59 minutes in all…enjoy!
