The high energy disco legend Giorgio Moroder stepped up earlier this week for what i find hard to believe, his first DJ set ever!?
As part of the Redbull studios event with Francois Ks "Deep Space" party Giorgio laid down a 74 minute set in New York City featuring a lathering of his timeless greats. I've had a listen and it is definitely packed with fire including personal favorites such as "From here to Eternity" and of course Donna Summer's "I Feel Love". Like i say, i find it hard to believe this is his first DJ set ever but with a back catalogue like his this is definitely worth a listen.
His recent collaboration with Daft Punk has brought back some well due attention to one of the pioneers of disco, techno and electronic music in general and hopefully this means we'll be hearing a lot more from the 73 year old don in the coming months.

A bit more disco today but in it's classic form. This cheeky selection mixed from original release 7 inch records only comes hot off the press direct from the studios of the legendary Larj Hans and his team the OK Jones band.
Organic, loose yet sexy as hell. Not going to say any more about this one so i suggest you crack it on loud and get on down. Look out for Larj Hans & The OK Jones Band at a festival site near you over the coming summer months. Mix on the player below and head on over to the Larj Hans Soundcloud page for more disco and funk splicings.

Easy all. Back in today after another break from the posting with this amazingly crafted mix from the one and only Skream.........And you know we love our disco.
Hats off to Skream for this one as well. Known throughout the World as one of Croydon's original dubstep pioneers it shows the true skill of the selector when they can splice together such a quality sack of disco and disco tinged edits like this.
From what we've seen on twitter and other trolling platforms it seems he's been getting a bit of stick for putting out mixes in a non "dubstep" genre or even for moving more towards house and techno in his sets. Well, to that we're with Skream all the way. Playing the same sets day in day out can get a tad boring and surely the art of the DJ set should not restrain you to the genre that you started putting out near on 8 years ago.
And too anyone that even hints at the idea that he is jumping on the Daft Punk band wagon. This man has been mixing disco for time with one set laid down at Corsica Studios many many moons ago being one of my top nights at our regular haunt.........ever.
Get it on the player below hosted by the the lovely people over at Do Androids Dance and make sure you don't miss out on any opportunity to catch Skream playing something with a little more funk over the coming festival season.
It's not about bass when you find your groove.

Something a touch different today.
You may know that we are massive fans of the Tusk Wax label and it's always very special when the mysterious label boss - Tusk puts together a mix.
This absolute beauty of a selection has been put together by the man himself for Audio Parallax. Head on over to the site here for the reasoning behind the mix as well as an interview with Tusk. Like i said earlier. Its not what you'll expect but i have a feeling you may secretly enjoy it.
Mix on the player below. This one is going out to our boy Dan. RIP bruv.
