“Everybody dance, do-do-do, Clap your hands, clap your hands”

Listen on Mixcloud

I initially wasn’t sure about this episode when I was recording it. I’d already thrown away an aborted attempt when I had that classic DJ nightmare of not picking a good next track before the current one had finished playing. At that point I’d lost the energy to have another go. But I stuck with it and by the time I threw on a remix of Chic’s “Everybody Dance” I found myself singing along like a total fool. I really like this episode, some big chunky disco-drenched grooves going on here. And it ends with one of my favourite house tunes of all time, Fire Island’s “If You Should Need A Friend”, a big uplifting piano anthem with a positive message.

Tracklisting:

1. Ananda Project, Gaelle Adisson – Cascades Of Colour (Wamdue Black Mix)
2. Johnick – Safari Disco (Extended Mix)
3. Selace – So Hooked on Your Lovin (Mousse T.’s extended disco Shizzle)
4. Olav Basoski – I Feel So Original Mix
5. Alex Kenji – Something Else (Original Mix)

Time to Move Your Body with another dose of Retro House Mixtape goodness

Listen on Mixcloud

I didn’t know where to start with this episode so I ended up just closing my eyes and flicking through my selection of tunes. I decided that whatever I landed on was what I would start with. As luck would have it, the fates chose a solid tribal-drum banger from Eric Kupper. What a fantastic place to start! From there it was a steady job of building a set on the fly which is always fun. I managed to work in a few favourites on the way such as “Move Your Body” by Ruffneck and Full Intention’s remake of “You’re The One For Me”.
