This week was hard. Most weeks, some tracks jump out as gems, others as easy to cut. Not so with NND. Everything is such a fine groove. And then there’s the length problem. A lot of these cuts are eight minutes plus - a few of our favs clocked in at over 10 minutes a piece - another challenge when you’re aiming for a representative sample of music in about an hour. We had the opposite problem with the Rocksteady Mix, where each song was barely two minutes each.

All said, enjoy. This took a bit longer to put together, and we’ve had to split it in two (expect part two tomorrow) but it is a wonderful backdrop to a summer evening, dreaming of dancing.

Track List:

  1. Todd Terje - Preben Goes to Acapulco2. Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas - Boney M Down3. Triangle Sun - Spaceship (SoundSAM Discomission Remix)4. Hubbabubbaklubb - Mopedbart5. Lindstrøm - Violent Group (Disco Version)6. Martin Wold - Fed Up7. Lindbæk & Lindstrøm - Aliens in My Pocket8. Dølle Jølle - Balearic Incarnation (Todd Terje’s Extra Døll Mix)9. Gundelach (feat. ARY) - Games (Prins Thomas Remix)10. Morcheeba - It’s Summertime (Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas Radio Edit)11. Blackbelt Andersen - Kuk Av Stal12. The Chemical Brothers - Swoon (Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas Remix)
