Motor City Drum Ensemble | Boiler Room London




If you haven't already had a listen to this tasty little mix from MCDE then plug in the speakers and get stuck into it. Full of disco gems, a real feelgood set from the man we all know and love for his deeper house tracks. MCDE recently done a Behind the Beats for Resident Advisor, explaining why he took time out to think about his career and how he manages suffering from anxiety attacks. In the feature, you can see how much music means to him and he shows he has another side to his musical tastes here. One of our favourite DJ's and has been for some time ..

Los Amigos Invisibles & Dimitri From Paris ¦ Glad To Know You

Dimitri from Paris has been on our radar for a while now with some mouth watering sets and reworks.  Here's just a little slice....

Gil Scott-Heron ¦ The Bottle

One of my all time favourite tracks and a truly timeless musician with an endless back-catalogue and great tunes.  Well worth a dig if you haven't already.  Not quite disco, but guaranteed to be well received anywhere.





Marvin Gaye Heavy ¦ Love Affair (The Revenge ReWork)

Ahead of our gig today at RoCo Hair we've been busy digging for gold.




20.6.13

Fonda Rae ¦ Tuch Me

Absolutely love this track, effortless vocals from Fonda Rae and a great production, early night dance-floor filler for sure.




19.6.13

David Joseph ¦ You Can't Hide (Your Love From Me)

Having 2 first names is a pre-requiste for having talent, or so I've heard.  David Joseph goes a way to proving it with this one from 1983.



Eruption ¦ I Can't Stand The Rain

All the way back to 1978 for this one.  A one hit wonder's better than a no hit wonder...

Podcast 001 Get Down Edits

Prior to announcing our first series of events, we worked hard to ensure we got in the right acts.  The boys at Get Down Edits certainly fit the bill.  They have worked tirelessly in their native Waterford to spread their infectious sound and are now starting to fully reap the rewards.  Their summer roster is mouth watering and sees them play at gigs across the country, and indeed Europe, as well as an appearance at the much heralded SeaSessions.



So it was a massive honour when they agreed to put together an exclusive mix for Queen & Disco and help us kick off our Q&D Volumes with a bang.



They will of course be playing at our 2nd of August gig alongside Late Nite Tuff Guy, which already is shaping up to be a disco extravaganza.


We will be making it available to everyone to download over the weekend so keep an eye.

Disclosure ¦ Help Me Lose My Mind







Taken from latest album "Settle" Disclosure team up with London Grammar for Help me Lose My Mind. Showing their less dancey side, the boys show just how capable they are when producing with other artists. The end product is great and Disclosure have on multiple occasions shown how to collab with other artists and utilise their strengths alongside their own rough and ready style.

Diana Ross ¦ I Ain't Been Licked




Not much needs to be said about Diana Ross, this is a classic track of hers from Side A of "The Boss" that often gets overlooked and is criminally underplayed.

George Duke ¦ Shine on (Late Nite Tuff Guy Re-Edit)




Another one of our future guests LNTG is just the absolute man when it comes to re-edits these days. His back-catalogue of unbelievable tunes on youtube is hard to believe, check em out.

He plays with us, on the 2nd Aug so keep an eye out for more on that.
