I have a bit of an on/off thing with Hudson but these are all killer. Made me wish for a sweaty front room dance.

"Civilization" was on that Virgin Front Line compilation everybody had - well, my sister had it anyway.

Anyone here familiar with the French Patchworks label which seems to chug out a huge amount of music in this vein? My friend sent me this playlist and it's largely top drawer: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2HOOBwOtmgyPKhY49FEOkK?si=fe9b615c70054664

A new disco-reggae compilation.
not going to click through all the youtubes to figure it out, but hopefully this thread didn’t get to 200 posts without mentioning tyrone davis “rise up” (wackies)

More reggae-disco than disco-reggae, but I just pulled out "Nightflight to Venus" and I'm def adding "Never Change Lovers in the Middle of the Night" to my playlist:

Yeah that's a classic. I think I put that on my original mix made from suggestions to this thread. I absolutely love it

Atmosfear's Dancing in Outer Space has a couple of moments when it becomes almost reggae - the laser-ska bit between 2:17 and 2:52, and that liquidy dub bit between about 5:25-6:25 which sounds like the dubwise equivalent of paddling a canoe in choppy waters.

This is joyful and I think it deserves to be included in this thread: https://soundwayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/chi-town-reggae

Great stuff!
I thought I'd posted about it here already, but the Risco Connection comp has been a highlight of my year: https://riscoconnection.bandcamp.com/album/risco-version

xp hah, I opened this thread wondering if it was going to be that!

Moka, how on earth did I miss that extensive spotify playlist you posted way upthread? amazing work!

shame there's no dub version tbh because the synths are great but the singing is a bit much

Forgive me if this has been posted before (I can't see it) but this compilation looks great

That Margino track sounds so much like Yvonne Chaka Chaka's "I'm In Love With a DJ". I assume it's the same producer

Yep. Attie Van Wyk

agreed, Moka’s Spotify playlist is a complete banger.
Ernest Ranglin’s “Soft Touch” is complete fire.
