Soggy Disco Biscuit -- Volume 11

I had the chance over January to get out and hear a couple of DJs play and I really liked what they were doing. None of that commercial house bollox. No LMFAO or Pitbull. Just a strong range of new-disco, soul remixes, and the odd classic thrown in. Harder to mix, but much better to listen to.

This is the inspiration for February's mix. All sorts of stuff here for you to listen to. That version of Bananarama's "Cruel Summer" is a classic electro version. You'll need to turn up Michael' Wycoff's song, sorry it's a little low but it's a hard track to find. I heard Spenda C play this great cover of the Strokes by Jumbonics, and I've also chucked in his remix of Bob Marley.

The song of the mix for me is Luke Million's "Arnold". Soooooo good! 'More Energy!' Everyone seemed to be playing "Hollywood Seven" just at the right time, and I had to get some deep disco in, so here's Moullinex, and that splendid remix of Canyons by DJ Harvey, and some Chet Faker.

Oh, and a cheeky little mashup I made of World's End Press to finish.

We Belong (soggy disco biscuit breakdown) -- Pat Benatar

Here's a little something for you to get annoyed at. It's me, once again destroying a perfectly good song for no good reason at all!

"Arnold" -- Luke Million

Oh my, can disco get any cheesier than this! Or, as my wife would say, any gayer! This is brilliant. It's another great disco track from an Australian. Luke Million is some geezer from Adelaide and is hooked up with Modular. He plays synth in the band "The Swiss" -- a live disco act.

This made it into the JJJ Hottest 100, at number 71. Good work!

"More Energy!"

Oh, and what have Soundcloud done with their player. It looks ace!

Bob Marley - Could You Be Love (Spenda C MoombahBooty)

Steve Lind is the guy making this remix under the guise of Spenda C. I caught a great set by Spenda C at the Sydney Festival a couple of weeks ago. He played for about 4 hours, and dropped everything from disco deep house to soul remixes. He got me on the dancefloor a couple of times, but I was more than happy to sit back with beer and listen to his remixes.

This was one of them. It's a Moombahton remix of a great Bob Marley classic. Moombahton? I hear you ask. Yeah!

Johnny Pate - Shaft In Africa (scratchandsniff re-rub)

Scratch and Sniff are at it again. Read what they have to say about this little number.

"Taken from the 1973 soundtrack released on ABC Records.
Funky as they come, but unfortunately over before you fully got your groove on.

I've extended the breaks and played with the arrangement so you can nod your head and tap your foot that little bit longer.

By now you should know what to expect, a simple cut and paste job with nothing added to stay true to the original material, just the way I want it to sound when I play it out."

Bag Raiders -- Monthly Mixtape

Everyone's jumping on the monthly mixtape bandwagon. Have you downloaded mine? It's up there on the right. See it? Just up there. That's it.

If you've been listening to them, then you'll know how much I'm digging the Bag Raiders. They seem to feature quite a lot. 

Take a listen to their monthly mixtape. Lots of deep house and tasty treats in this mix. They promise to release one a month. This is a good start.
