Babert & Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue - Good Lyfe (Severino Remix)

Friday night I finally got the chance to see Horse Meat Disco in person (at least half of the quartet as it were). Love and freedom ruled CODA as Severino Panzetta and Luke Howard hit the decks for an extended set full of fabulous edits and originals alike. all oozing with funk, biting brass, sensational strings and piquant piano. True to the talk around Horse Meat Disco and their long running party at The Eagle, the atmosphere was incredible and the dance floor was packed the whole night.

While I'm still relatively green when it comes to the greater disco catalog (certainly in comparison to Severino and/or Luke), there were numerous tracks that I knew right off the bat and was able to enjoy in utter ecstasy (see Dimitri From Paris's edit of "Salsoul Rainbow" or Joey Negro's dub of "Found A Cure"). On the other side of things, Horse Meat Disco don't have many of their own productions, however Severino did just release a solo remix effort, taking on Babert & Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue.

Out now on Midnight Riot Records, this "Good Lyfe" remix is a brilliant blend of the bottomless bounce and groove of deep house with the distinct flair of disco. The chords craft a cool, luxurious italo-disco dance floor primed for your feet to follow the playful percussion all as the vocals spin around your head. It is a hearty and powerful production, that while featuring extended dance sequences never seems to drag, but rather further welcome you to the floor for more fun. Get Severino's "Good Lyfe" here.

Greg Wilson @ Glitterbox, Hï Ibiza (15.09.17)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love disco. Not just because it's where DJing started, nor merely as a result of it's light and fun nature, but also that it's efficient and reliable (a line I'm borrowing from Kyle Kinane, who last night claimed German Techno is not good music but rather reliable).

A disco groove is an easy one to fall into with its four on the floor backbone. It's always there and while each second may not be utter excitement, it's truly epic long-form dance music, the kind you can rely on whenever you need a pick me up. It can serve as a subtle background beat or a groove guaranteed to get you moving.

Now, I try not to focus too much on disco because there's just so much of it that I could tie up all my time sharing it, but as I'm busy preparing a new season of Bump In The Hump in between attending comedy shows for JFL42, I've decided to showcase a mix I just came across: the legendary Greg Wilson's live set at Glitterbox. It kicks off with a killer Chic sampler in Chewy Rubs "Future Freak," before getting deep with strings and things from First Choice with "Doctor Love." We might have to start calling Greg Wilson, Doctor Disco because the medicinal vibes continue with Dr Packer's rework of Oliver Cheatham tune "Friday's Enemy." The blessed beats continue to churn with Cordycep's "7 PM" and Babert's "Boogie Oogie." The fun filled hour then finds its finishing line with the majesty of Marshall Hain's "Dancing In The City." You too can dance (where ever you want), as the full mix is available for download, absolutely free here, and be sure to check out more of Mr. Wilson's work below.FOLLOW GREG WILSON: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
