map, my weekly gig is in a small town in northern England where people mostly dance to what they know, and I'm enough of a whore to oblige them. That said, I do slip some lesser known tracks into the first hour of my set, when people are happy to listen to them. Tracks that have gone down well early-doors include Hiroshi Fukumura "Hunt Up Wind", Alphonse Mouzon "I'm Glad That You're Here", Mary Clark "Take Me I'm Yours", Scherrie Payne "I'm Not In Love", Chicago "Street Player", Carrie Lucas "Dance With You", Deodato "Night Cruiser", Toney Lee "Reach Up", Otis Clay "The Only Way Is Up", the Reflex remix of "Got To Give It Up", L.T.D. "Back In Love Again", Boiling Point "Let's Get Funktified", Jean Carn "Was That All It Was" and "If You Wanna Go Back", Phyllis Hyman "You Know How To Love Me", Arthur Adams "You Got The Floor", Paulhino Da Costa "Deja Vu", Cameo "It's Serious", Ashford & Simpson "Found A Cure" and "It Seems To Hang On", Fat Larry's Band "Act Like You Know", Melba Moore "You Stepped Into My Life", Donald Byrd "Thank You For Funking Up My Life", Thelma Houston "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning", Samuel Jonathan Johnson "You" (Joey Negro remix) and "Sweet Love", T-Connection "Saturday Night", Chaka Khan "Fate", Locksmith "Far Beyond", MFSB "Sexy", Patrice Rushen "Number One", Wilton Felder/Bobby Womack "Inherit The Wind", Tracey Weber "Sure Shot", Jazzy Dee "Get On Up", Magic Disco Machine "Scratchin", Tony Rallo & The Midnite Band "Holdin' On", Timeless Legend "I Was Born To Love You", Brothers "Are You Ready For This", Marilyn Scott "God Only Knows", Mike T "Do It Anyway You Wanna", Cissy Houston "Think It Over", Pockets "Come Go With Me", New York Port Authority "I Got It", Light Of The World "Time (Remix)", Level 42 "Starchild", Rahni Harris & FLO "Six Million Steps", Azymuth "Jazz Carnival", Maze "Back In Stride". The original 1986 version of The Source/Candi Staton "You Got The Love" also very much does the business and brings the dancing.

Cool, I didn't know that "God Only Knows" cover. Thanks, Mike!

I made myself a playlist of those tracks mike t - bloody marvellous.

I have a thing that I reckon might just be me but I've just listened to that Tracey Weber track and well: does anyone hear that vocal as slightly off-key, flat or off-pitch? It's something I notice more in late 70s/early 80s disco than anywhere else, but I can't tell if it's just my ears.
