The Return of Disco Jesus

Back for the New Year.
Still able to bring together a killer selection of (mostly) unknown (to me) discoid gems.
Massive.

HAND RAISED BY ROBOTS
14 July 2008 
Damn! It’s all about Detroit this month. Fresh on the heels of innersound-boy jez’s killer ‘4am in Detroit‘ mix (one of my favorite mixes of the year) comes Brother Quaid’s seriously deep sci-fi soul adventure.
Mixing bladerunner sound fx with the soulful side of the motorcity and a whole host of new edits and versions from East London’s very own analog cylon. Or as the man himself puts it;
This is the re-imagined soundtrack to a Sci-Fi noir classic. One where
‘Deckard’ fronts a covert troupe of Replicant producers, searching for
their soul in the rain swept neon underground.
Also got to hear the first track from the forthcoming ‘Reflections on a Creations & Bass‘ lp this weekend-SICK!!!
Gonna be dropping it at ‘Ain’t it Black‘ on Wednesday if you’re local. (it’ll be the track with an enormous east london hiphop/synth freak vibe-and me & chris going nuts in the background)
In the meantime your Spinner awaits….
Blackjoy mixtapes
4 July 2008
Gotta a lot of love for Blackjoy.
Both ‘Moustache’ and ‘Untitled’ got heavily caned back in the basilika love disco days.
I stumbled across their blog a few months back (probably via chris’ ever-heavy another night on earth blog) and it’s just the kind of thing I would love to see more of; artists using blogs to give out real quality unreleased edits and mixes.
To celebrate summertime they have released three Disco mixes to download.
And as a bonus here’s a snippet of an unreleased track I got from their myspace years ago (and have been known to loop up and filter to death)
