In time for your neo-discoworkoutweekend: Mixed up disco classics, italo disco, modern (robot) disco from and updates & disco edits. Do it! mixed by bethany, disco emergency! Fine fine mix.

Last night I had a Disco Emergency and mixed up some domestic disco classics from AKB, Class Action, Bombers and Electra, italo disco by Azoto, some modern (robot) disco from Daniel Wang, Alden Tyrell, Fatima Al-Qadiri & Brennan Green, and updates & disco edits from Joey Negro, Community Recordings & Magick. Do it! Tracks 7, 8 and 9 make me want to travel back in time to be a fly on a studio wall in the late 70s and early 80s. Rather than imagining these tracks on dancefloors, I tend to visualize the creation process: the violinist and pianist sweating it out in the studio during Stand Up Sit Down, or the solo violinist in Any Time or Place making all hearts in the studio swell, or a smiling duo laying down the wholesome vocal tracks of Dancin’. The sheer expense of a single disco track will never cease to amaze me - in fact it must have been a good time to be a studio musician in New York or Philidelphia. My non-audiophile mixer and needles may have lost some of the details of these masterpieces, but if you try listening to this mix through nice headphones you’ll be amazed how many additional instruments and parts you can pick out.
