Time for mirla

Genuinely happy for this release which was strongly anticipated (finally). And genuinely ecstatic for these utterly and completely top of the top-notch tunes. Nu disco at its best, man.



No more words for this one. Just hit play till it hurts. And start dancing. And make good use of your speakers’ capacity. And spread the word. And support this fine work here or a blue dinosaur will jump off your screen and start dancin’ on your lap.

Disco with a twist

Don't know about your summer, but mine ain't lookin' good so far. There are a few things, however, that keep me in high spirits when all point to the opposite direction. One of these is -take a wild guess- music. This compilation handpicked by Funk Hunk, ready to be released on July the 25th by Handshakes Records, easily managed to make me forget about shit going on, smile and start some finger snapping and shoulder moving when all else seriously failed.



I can't even begin to point out how many tracks in this compilation made me stop for a minute and enjoy. Really enjoy. (the Dopeshoes edit, oh-my-god).

Thank you Funk Hunk for putting this whole thing together and spreading the word. Thumbs up till they hurt!

*Find the whole thing here. Bet your thumbs will rise too.

It all ends well

A couple of days ago, Editors Kutz released the second volume of disco edits and reworks VA- Editors Kutz Vol.2 in which you'll find hot versions of mostly disco classics from the point of view of Fingerman, Late Night Tuff Guy, Get Down Edits and other loved ones - you will understand how the index finger can become possessed and find its way to the play button on its own as soon as you check out the producers involved.

As I was having my regular buzz with what reached my ears, BOOM! Awe-inspiring sample that was on the tip of my tongue, but I knew I couldn't possibly remember and put together in words at that moment - second most annoying thing after being hungry and having only water and beer on the fridge. I'm referring to the Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee - Love ya track, which almost gave me a heart attack that day.

Thank god - or my memory for that matter - the damn sample was singled out of my long-term memory info as soon as I stopped tryin' to remember. And as I was driving, it all came to me. Hot Bush. Hot Bush goddamnit!

Cross your (basic) fingers

There’s probably little chance that you ‘re into nu-disco and disco-house music and you haven’t heard something from Basic Fingers, but just to be sure I decided to list my top 5 (+1) from a label that I believe was one of my favorites the whole past year and definitely worths your attention.

Funny thing is that while I was searching through the label’s soundcloud the other day, I found 2-3 really loved tracks that sent me dozens of times to dangerously raise the volume button, that I didn't even know they were released from Basic Fingers. Talkin' 'bout true love. Seriously.

Ok, let's start diggin'.

ChangED - Jamaican girl: Inspired by the homonymous track by Love Unlimited Orchestra, this one comes from the swedish producer, Ed Ayers. I love the transitions, I love the clapping, I love the vocals and I wanna be a jamaican girl when I grow up.

Kon & the gang - Get it together: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

Meli'sa Morgan - Fool's Paradise (Koko Re-Edit): Recently added to my list, but loved equally - if not more. Check out the original track here.

Gredits - Sister peak: If I begin to describe the feeling I get from this track, I 'll probably get a stroke and I wouldn't want that right before vacation.

Sir Own - Hooked (Kon’s Nite Time Remix): A soothing take on Cerrone's "Hooked on you". Ain't it perfect?

Jazzy Jens - I want you: Looks like Jens Helge (Jazzy Jens) made it easier for you to say I want you to someone.

Well, I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed for this label.
