You're right about the track having a universal appeal. I was at a party a few weeks ago where this was dropped and it got EVERYBODY to dance. Truly magical, indeed.

i like how eddie kendricks' vision of fiery hell is based on the sun getting a bit closer to the earth every day. it is reassuringly practical?

Marlena Shaw - Love Dancing Chaka Khan - I'm Every Woman Sparks - The Number One Song in Heaven Donna Summer - I Feel Love Earth, Wind & Fire - Let's Groove The Crusaders - Street Life (the 11 minute version with the slow intro, not the shorter version sometimes credited to Randy Newman) Anita Ward - Ring My bell Curtis Mayfield - Do It All Night Lalo Schifrin - Jaws (a wonderful disco version of the Jaws theme) The J.B.'s - Rock Groove Machine
Everyone who hasn't heard it should check out "Rock Groove Machine", it's an incredible stripped-down proto-house tune with a squeaky, modulating synth line that sounds like a 303.

I lie awake at night wondering if "Disco Juice" has a 3/4 measure followed by a 4/4 one or if it's just one big long 7/4 measure.

that Azoto track is a killer, and so is the entire album ... http://dreamchimney.com/slvs/Azoto_-_Disco_Fizz_20060815085105.jpg

― jaime, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:06 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm starting to think "happy man" is the killer track on c'est chic

couple of things not mentioned yet on this thread that i love love love
azoto - san salvador t-connection - at midnight kool & the gang - open sesasme ltg exchange - corazon two man sound - que tal america
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:12 (fifteen years ago) link
oh and people mentioned gino soccio but not "dancer"?!? WTF
i gotta second these: "going up in smoke," "got to get your love," "there but for the grace of god," and "bourgie bourgie"

leftfield selection that's more rock-disco: "not tonight". incredible!

<3 "Circles" by City Limits, "Disco Madness" by Sparkle <-----heard this at a deep house page show the other day
― deej, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:23 (fifteen years ago) link
xpost: I live to please...
Ten gamey, well-hung and not for the faint-hearted selections:
Powerline - "Double Journey" I'm sure lots of "cats" like this record but the jazz chops aren't what makes it great, it's just, like, a journey man
First Choice - "Double Cross" If you only like disco that doesn't sound like disco you're going to fucking hate this one. Strings, melodrama and slap bass make it fruitier than a make-up convention on a mango plantation
T-Connection - "At midnight" This could well be the biggest tease in disco, even more so than "work that body". About 6 minutes of hard, forceful drumming that you'd swear is a house track, and then *bang* vocals, horns, organs everything hits at once. There's nothing light or fluffy about this.
The Whatnauts - "Help is on the way" Bassline.
Erotic Drum Band - "Jerky Rhythm" Drums that hang out on street corners and bother pensioners.
The Cats'n'Jammer Kids - "Disco drum" Yeah the C2 edit is better than the original. But it's still good. Punchy punchy horns.
Kano - "It's a war" Token italo mention. OTT space battle disco.
Slimline - "If you can dance you can do it" (inst. with count) Like a workout video with cocaine and strippers. Imperious, demanding strippers.
Loleatta Holloway - "Hit and run" (Walter Gibbons mix) More like hit, hit, hit and eventually run.
Billy Nichols - "Give your body up to the music" I'm not ashamed. I can walk down the street in broad daylight looking like this. There's no room for apologies on the dancefloor.

Also, Don Ray "Standing in the rain" is on the Roy Ayers radio station in GTA4. That made me chuckle when I heard it come on...
― J@cob, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:25 (fifteen years ago) link
cant believe so few Change songs were mentioned!!!
"Glow of Love," "Girls Affair," "Searching," "Angel in my Pocket," "The End," so uh yeah the entire "Glow of Love" album
― deej, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:27 (fifteen years ago) link
"love you inside and out" by the bee gees
― jaime, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:28 (fifteen years ago) link
I love love love "Angel in my pocket", that little slide before it hits is totally classic. A lot of people find that track cornball though.

i dont want those ppl in my disco

― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:43 (fifteen years ago) link
The only bad thing about the GTA4 disco station is that it's only 10 songs long when it should be about 70.

"Peanut Butter," Twennynine "You're So Good To Me," Curtis Mayfield "Heart's Desire," Don Blackman (iffy as disco at best, but wow!)

OK, that Blackman track isn't disco at all. I second Bohannon's "Foot Stompin' Music."
