Disco Superfly



Marcy Playground – Sex & Candy (Kreap's Disco Superfly Mix)
Buy on Amazon (US only) - Download

I've been waiting for ages for this to come out, and now to my absolute delight it finally has been released. Unfortunately only US customers are able to purchase the track so I have included a download link for everyone else. Also, the track in the Amazon store is some sort of shortened radio edit, so if you're for a more DJ friendly version the download is where to go.

If you've been reading this blog for a while you probably already know about Kreap and his funkylicious disco-flavoured productions. This one oozes freshness on a whole new level. It's one of those tracks where everything works and sounds delicious, and it's definitely in my top-5 tracks this year. Kreap is the man.

Freebie Fridays #3


Time for another edition of Freebie Fridays – I got some real gems for you...


Luminaire – Shake
Download via SoundCloud

Let's hit it off with Luminaire's fresh sounding synth and sample heavy "Shake". Pay special attention to the level of production here, everything is so nice and fat. As usually it all just works and gets me on a really good mood. Feel-good stuff.


Bit Funk – It's My Love
Download via tracks.by

You might've heard of this already, but hey I have to hype it too! The start didn't convince me immediately, and for a moment I was afraid if this was to be the first Bit Funk track I wouldn't like. But then I heard some lovely chords rising and the piano finally won me over. It's a classic-flavour house track with that M1 piano and lately bass spiced up with soulful vocals and some guitars. 3:13 is a wonderful moment.


The 3rd Eyebrow – Gentle Mirage (Fukuyamas Filtered Remix)
Download via SoundCloud

This remix was uploaded by Fukuyama literally a couple hours ago. It's got a huge amount of drive, and that bassline action is really well executed.

Joey Negro & The Sunburst Band


Joey Negro and The Sunburst Band – The Secret Life of Us
Buy CD via Z Records Store

Joey Negro and his session band "The Sunburst Band" deserve major respect for staying true to their faultless jazz-influenced disco boogie sound. The collective just released a new album called "The Secred Life of Us" consisting of 15 brand new tracks previewed in the 10-minute album sampler above. It's reassuring to hear people still make music like this nowadays among all the over-compressed super-loud modern dance music. Befitting the style and spirit of the music, this album can only be ordered as a CD. That's completely fine though – this is a product that (I at least) really want to own.

Jackin Box Funks The Mansion


It's been a while since I've featured a Funk Mansion release, but here's one that won't leave your feet cold. Jackin Box might be best known for their funk-laden hip-house track "Big Mama", but their latest EP "The Meat Sweats" doesn't fall short. It's a four-track EP, and I recommend checking out at least "American Houser" and "Titty Shaker". Buy the release on Beatport.

Skibblez All The Way


Stumbled over Skibblez today and oh how happy I am that happened. This Canadian french/disco/funky house act has put almost all their tracks are up for free download, yet their sound is so professional and sophisticated. But above all, they really get a smile on my face. Here are a couple picks, but I essentially could've featured all of their tracks here. Check out Skibblez on SoundCloud for the rest, and don't forget to like 'em on Facebook!
