Bobby's Back



It's been a long time ....

A quick fill in mix while I make some time to do a proper job. This effort is pretty "phoned in" and sounds a lot like every other mix on the interblog from the last three years, but I put it together on a late night train ride with a pair of those horrible white 'buds' that dont fit properly in my strangely shaped head.

Immoralist May Mix

This month I have mostly been downloading disco songs and my mix shares with you some of the stuff I have found.

The mix starts with a couple of numbers that could have been made in the seventies, but weren’t (they were actually made last Friday or something). I’ve chosen them because they have the spirit of the “Warriors” soundtrack which is officially the best music to listen to when commuting on the underground and thus ideal walkman fodder.

We then move into the main part of the mix, which is some delightful disco gems. Chief amongst these is Jean Carne’s “Was that all it was” which was a key song at The Saint nightclub in New York, and a track I’ve been wanting to have for a long time.

Things get a bit housy-er from here on in and climax with all nine minutes of Sebbo’s “Beirut Boogie”. There is a man having some sort of fit in front of a keyboard set to “parp” when a sinister orchestra wanders in. No bass line. Wrong on so many levels but my top tune so far this year.
