Music with an emphasis on everything with a steady Disco beat. From obscure 70s soundtracks to weird 80s electronic dancefloor tunes. This blog is Disco 2.0 compliant.
Denn Ich Kann Dich Nicht Vergessen Carnevalito Apologies please! Yes, also for the lack of contributions from my side but especially for the possibly gained impression that “Mingo” is the only good title by Monika, as it is the only one presented here so far. Her ’79 LP indeed contains so many that it is […]
It’s not too hard to understand the correlation between the sausage and the pet name for the male sexual organ. Rather interesting, the sausage is called Frankfurter in Vienna- a fact that should be further investigated. Meanwhile, some music. Tina 4 – Die Ganze Nacht Art Mayr Band – Mona Lisa Aniko Benkö – Rattenfänger […]
Ich bleibe in der DDR (I’d never signed this bitd). Sandra Mo was well known, Eva Kyselka not at all. They have something in common though, agreed? Sandra Mo – Romale Eva Kyselka – Das War Ein Tanz
Isa leaves no room for interpretation here and certainly doesn’t need sister support to make her point clear! Isa Caufner – Ich Bin Ich
Once upon a time, the term stood for quality & reliability. As outsourcing is the not-so-new thing, Assembled In Germany might just do as fine. Anyway here’s some music. Made In Germany – Made In Germany
Besame Mucho Hans James Last, founder of Non Stop Dancing and the Happy Sound, would have turned 90 today. Congrats, salute and Rest In Party
By request, some turkish delights for your candy jar. Asu Maralman – Bir Ayrilik Bir Yoksulluk Bir Ölüm Asu Maralman – Bozuk… Bozuk… Osman Ismen ve Orkestrasi – Esmerim Istanbul Sarkicilari – Yarim Gitti Cesmeye Beyaz Kelebekler – Elmalarin Yongasi Zaliha – Reyhan Kenan – Tesekkür Edirim Meral Zuhal – Defne Dali
Ingrid silently requires you to discover her regions. Ingrid Kup – Feel Me (Instrumental)
Typical local flee find here. Elefant consisted of three front girls (hence the title) with Ute Freudenberg being one of them. The song was their first single in ’76 and can be found on the advertised compilation. Do not even try to drop the needle anywhere else! Elefant – Drei Mädchen Und Eine Band
From Petit Prince album by the mighty Elias Rahbani. Pictured above his mother, known as Fairouz. She smokes and drinks coffee, just as I do in this moment. But she looks better while at it. Kezzabi
Entschuldigung, whats happening here? Why hasn’t this monster been posted yet? I best blame myself as it has been a favorite for many years. This private 7″ is a dance floor excursion by the dubious german concept prog band, which only released one album that also plunged quickly- both first and re-licensed- due to legal […]
Something to make up for the summer time vacuum, here’s a selection of singles collected from Vienna. Except United Balls, which is a Jörg Evers production, all are austrian and yes, rather cool and slow as thats the business in der Wiener Diskotheke. Peter Schleicher – Heut’ Wü I Di’ Gerty S. – Surrender Cosmetics […]
If the weather doesn’t make you sweat, perhaps this will. Erotic starlet Teresita “La Mojada” (Die Nasse), who completely disappeared in the 80s and Josep Llobell delivering the perfect sound track for your next beach partyTeresita – Tres Cosas
Why do bans draw us so irresistibly? Give to any child in this world a no as an answer around his interest to wake up. A tip to the concealed truth that nothing can substitute for the value of self-lived experience. Now go have some fun! Greek Salad with Gus Kamaras – Taboo
Another geat record from the cheapo bins. Conducted by french singer/guitar player Alain Labacci, who also appears on Toni Van Duyne’s Cosmic Dancer album. The spanish guitar and my Discos Movieplay pressing initially led me to the conclusion it’s español, however français it is. Heredia & Co. – Gypsy Sky
This bagel has been lounging around for quite some time, but it’s still tender and luscious. Released in ’76, it has all the right ingredients- infectious groove, seraphic voice and oh these Moogs! It won’t break the bank either and gets the deck sharks going. The Lime & Lemon Co – Colour Generator
Radio Vendetta, you wished! Let’s just pretend, Ilona “Cicciolina” Staller has been a co-host like she pretends “I Was Made For Dancing” (some gents know better) Ilona Staller – I Was Made For Dancing
Back after a god knows how long offline period with a promise. And a hit. Ofcourse everybody in the multiverse knows it but how about this version by The Droogs (if I remember right)? The tune is taken from Vetrina Di Hit Parade Vol.10 and the sleeve doesn’t offer any artist info. In any case, […]
Way back in kindergarden, we were painting Misha, the mascot of ’80 Moscow Olympic Summer Games. I was allowed to finish mine at home, resulting in next days total disbelief of my nurse in my deepest affirmation I was helped by nobody. Nothing changed over the years, still the misjudged mastermind (or slick cheater?). Here […]
Another fantastic Llobell production here. While the song starts fairly innocent but monster nonetheless, it eventually flips into orgiastic kosmische madness with Susana doing what she does… faking(?) climax. Full clip attached for evidence. If anybody possesses this tape cassette only release, PLEASE get in touch!
Two slices of catchyness by a 19-year-old Miharu Koshi before she became more well known (and less catchy) for working with Haruomi Hosono of YMO. Remarkably positive vibes and strong arpeggiated synth on Sea Of Kardia fail to disappoint. Fly-day China Town Sea of Kardia
Whats your preferred way to spend saturday night- classy discotheque or campfire dancing? Biddu Orchestra – Chic-Chica-Chic-Chica-Chic Sevda Karaca – Çık ortaya
A ballet dancer (Italian: ballerina fem., ballerino masc.) is a person who practices the art of ballet. Traditional, gender-specific titles are used for ballet dancers. Since ballerino is not used in English, it does not enjoy the same connotation as ballerina. A regular male dancer in Italy is called a danzatore, while ballerino usually denotes […]
I hereby like to offer a refund for the lack of a decent Halloween contribution. As Black Dracula has been posted here before, I added the flip slightly pitched down, whose rather unusual instrumentation scores in weirdness. Possession – Black Dracula Possession – Living and Dancing
Pisanese Daniela Davoli as played by Carlo Simula this years Camp Cosmic. Daniela Davoli – Tipo
Another great tune on same LP like yesterdays Familie Silly post and as much Disco as you can get from any East German outfit. Apart from two exceptions, all lyrics on this LP are written by Kurt Demmler, with about 10000 songs reliable workhorse of the republic, who committed suicide in 2009 due to pedophilia […]
DDR 1980. A young ambitious band releases their first songs along with two other young ambitious bands within the Kleeblatt series on Amiga, where else. The same group should become within a few years one of the most beloved East German Super Combos. Here, the former accompanying text: In its current form “Familie Silly” has […]
