This is a fantastic mix, I like it much better than "Night". I also like Hemingway's style, who is similar... maybe a bit more like nerdy digital but still very much "cosmic" disco: https://soundcloud.com/hemingway/summer-mixtape-sessions

Yo I dig your taste in music sir.

I'd like to invite you to listen to a mix I just finished .. I think it might be up your alley.

Hey .. I'd like to invite anyone who is into the this stuff to throw your ears at a new mix I just finished. It's my own angle on cosmic / italo / retro disco sound .. heavy on the 80s flava without going all nu-disco.

I'll bake you a friggin cake.

Yo! I just stumbled across this thread and saw you mention Ichisan ..

I just put a new mix up on my Mixcloud (that has, as of yet, like .. no traffic) .. and Ichisan makes an appearance.

I'd love you to take a listen .. it's pretty dope if I do say so myself.

Click me.

Holy Shit!! i was also going to say this but it seems it was reissued as well!! https://www.discogs.com/Golden-Flamingo-Orchestra-Featuring-Margo-Williams-The-Guardian-Angel-Is-Watching-Over-Us/release/1676842 fucking nice one!!

https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=526431&ev=mb this was one but i just saw it was actually repressed this year! the mains song i want is also on Jeremy Underground Paris' new compilation as well. If you go through Red Gregs RA mix some of those are ones i want as are the Youre A Melody mixes.

you can sample anything easily, its what you do with it then makes it good check out http://www.whosampled.com/ .... but you probably mean something like salsoul. lots of brass and strings and breaks there.

Are you thinking of the San Francisco Disco Preservation Society? They have hundreds of uploaded tape recordings of disco sets by notable DJs, mostly late 70s & early 80s. They’ve got a number of sets from NYC but mostly around the Bay Area.

It’s one of my favourite go-to directories of playlists...listening to these guys feels like you’re on the floor at Studio 54.

Here is one of my favs, which was recorded on the 4th of July 1981 at Crisco Disco in the Meatpacking District.

I agree on the mirror balls. Mirror balls are classy whereas a lot of the effects I see these days strike me as rather tacky or, if you are six years old, awesome. In the US you can get 8" mirror balls shipped for less than $10. Of course then you need some way to hang, rotate and illuminate them so there is the added cost of the motor mounts, lights and dilemma of how/where to hang them. Depending on how crafty/cheap you are you might possibly arrange something with multiple 8"-10" mirror balls, some clothesline and some borrowed LED bicycle headlights. A simpler solution might be multiple tabletop mirror balls: http://www.amazon.com/Lumisource-LS-MIR-MADNESS-Energy-Saving/dp/B0045CXY3E/ref=pd_sbs_indust_1

Also, consider a cheap fog machine: http://www.amazon.com/Eliminator-Lighting-Machines-EF-400-Machine/dp/B0006M59M6 Fog machines turn cheap lighting effects into pretty cool lighting effects.

FYI, virtually every effect made by American DJ and Chauvet have somebody demonstrating it on Youtube.
