Month: May 2016

True to my anal-self, I got up early this morning to post the latest Trash Disco to make sure everyone’s Memorial Day weekend is complete. Then, I started digging around for a replacement mix of Dazz as the version I had was appreciable but the guy who did it was pretty much out of his element.

Then, I stumbled upon Digital Visions who is one of a multitude of devotees to all things re-edits, especially in the Disco realm. How I missed him previously is beyond me because while several of his like-minded rivals range from really bad to fairly decent; he just blows them out of the water LOL. I’ll be reaching out to him shortly to work out some sort of deal for use of his work but we’ll keep that under wraps. DO check out his SoundCloud page if you’re a fan.

Here’s a list of the songs that may not immediately stand out to you until you listen to them:

• I hope everyone has a fantastic Memorial Day weekend and if you live somewhere else, find a party; I’m pretty sure there’s one going on near you.

Until the next time …ENJOY!

At this point, I can safely say that Party Favorz has all of the bases covered for your holiday weekend needs. Whether it’s funky house, EDM, circuit or disco; I’ve been rolling them out on a conveyor belt in a chocolate factory.

The hardest part involved in making these sets is tracking down the songs; especially songs whose title is flip-opposite of what you would expect. As a result, once you narrow down the genres where you know they’re likely to show up at, you listen …and listen …and listen until you strike gold and then pick up where you left off.

In fact, that process takes hours to pour through all the potential songs that ultimately make up the Trash Disco series. Fortunately, I am a die-hard disco fanatic who is very studied in the genre and can sniff out the beat in a new recording 30 years after it was originally released, in most cases. Some sampled tunes these days are lifted from really rare releases making it damn near impossible to identify unless I stumble across the original and have an “a-ha” moment (which has happened).

With the exception of the originally titled re-works in the tracklist, here’s what else is buried between the grooves should your inquiring mind want to know:
