Ashely's disjointed evening mixtape


Big thanks to the AOR Disco crew for posting a mixtape I put together over a few nights in Summer.


"A friend of mine has seen a few nights closing in lately," says DJ Mase aka Soggy Disco Biscuit. "It's good to get out on the road, think a few thoughts and hum a few tunes. Behind the wheel we can expel a few demons and as the sun sets, the memories cease to be howling. This mix is for Ash!"

10CC - Dreadlock holiday (Disco Syndicate's summervibes special)



I'm yet to find my feet having spent the last 7 nights on a Wooden Shjip in QLD. A roll in the ocean needs a slower beat, a steady foot, and an eye on the horizon. Hold the helm and let the elements drive you forward. 

10CC know a few things about smooth sailing tunes and concentrating on tackin' right. But check that key change, drop down the tempo, and get our mate Disco Syndicate to twist it into a 'Round Turn with Two Half Hitches'.

Late night, last song groove right here! 




Hear it in the mix -- Soggy Disco Biscuit -- Volume 26

Soggy Disco Biscuit -- Volume 26


Hey there disco catz! I've been hearing a great range of tunes this month. Must be summer in Europe just around the corner. That's why the new Daft Punk and the new Empire of the Sun songs are getting massive airplay. Keep an eye out for the new World's End Press tune.

This mix is a bit of fun. Lots of disco, of course, but I had to drop in that protest song by The Beat to celebrate Thatcher's death. Some old remixes, some fun mashups, some crazy edits -- you know what to expect from a Soggy Disco Biscuit podcast.

Oh, and those fuckers on Soundcloud wouldn't let me uploads this mix this time. Copyright issues, or some bollox. So it's on Mixcloud.

Tell ya mates, share it on your Facebook, post in on your sister's Pinterest.

Flight Facilities for 'triple j Mix Up Exclusives': 2002-2012


So we finally got there. The Flight Facilties dudes have posted the fourth and final set in their decade series.

This one is probably the best of the bunch. It actually is worth a couple of listens and you'll enjoy a lot of these tracks. Give it a whirl.

Looking back on the whole series, while I applaud the idea, and can see why the blogging world went bananas over it all, I still feel a bit bleugh. Maybe a bit underwhelmed. Maybe just a bit whelmed.

Daft Punk - Get Lucky feat. Pharrell & Nile Rodgers

Ha! You thought this was going to be a preview of the new Daft Punk single, didn't you? Sorry to get your hopes up. It seems that everyone is just wetting themselves soggy over this new single, and it hasn't even dropped yet. There's been sneak previews on SNL, a bit of airtime at Coachella, and a lot of speculation. We know that Pharrel has some sweet vocals, and the master, Nile Rodgers is in the house. But that's it!

Which means that every kid with a pirated copy of Ableton and a bit of spare time has been busy looping together the clips and creating their own version of what this song could possibly be like.

This one's probably the best of the bunch and sounds the closest to what a true Daft Punk song is. What it is lacking, I'm sure you'll agree, is the classic breakdown that Daft Punk do so well.

But until the song is finally released, you'll have to enjoy this version.

Sade - Smooth Operator (Leon DeeJay Aegean Sunset Mix)


No need to ask, this is one smooth remix. Like a lot of the edits of this song, the intro is long enough to keep your dancefloor guessing as to what the song actually is.

Throw it on as the sun is coming down.
