I've already paid fitting tribute to the late Donna Summer and Robin Gibb , who died on May 20 at age 62 in London after battling colon and liver cancer for much of the past year. So what can I say now that hasn't already been said, and that won't be said in the coming days and weeks and months of eulogies for the two disco-era icons? Instead I'll leave you with what could possibly be the only existing film of Summer and Gibb together onstage (along with Gibb's brothers, Barry, the sole surviving [...]
Lionel Richie has been on my mind this week. A lot. Not just because I've been writing a piece about him for my Sound and Vision column at OurStage. He's been in my head because everywhere I go, his songs seem to be blaring in my ears. Lately, unexpectedly, he's been all over the radio in Thailand, with tracks from Tuskegee , his recent No. 1 album featuring duets with top country stars on his golden oldies, as well as the original versions of some of those golden oldies. The only Richie songs on [...]
Earth, Wind & Fire with The Emotions: Boogie Wonderland [ purchase ] Earth, Wind and Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" is not about what you think it's about. The casual listener can be forgiven for believing "Boogie Wonderland" is merely a paean to the disco era: The bouncy rhythm, the cool vocals by Maurice White, the Emotions' soul-sister backing chorus. The song wants you to believe it's a magical place, this Boogie Wonderland. But, for a moment, stop dancing and listen closely at the lyrics. "Boogie Wonderland" [...]
Friday night means disco time . And we got the perfect Dj tool just for that.

We'll be joining Andycap at Grand Central in Sthlm tonight, with our own modern DJ family: Sebastian Gudding [...]
It's old news for some but I figured I would just post about it again for those who haven't heard. I was lucky enough to see Daft Punk's Alive concert and this time around it will be Tron based. From what people have been saying by the watercooler is that Daft Punk is going to be releasing a new album some time soon including that "one" track from the club scene we all love but can't find. We will start [...]
Teen Daze gave us a treat this past New Years Eve weekend, in doing his own version of Earth, Wind, and Fire's 1981 classic, "Let's Groove." As I'm so used to chilled out vibes from the Canadian, I was a bit hesistant about that, but the result is fantastic. He has successfully brought one of the best disco era song to the present. <a href=" http://teendaze.bandcamp.com/t rack/lets-groove" _mce_href=" http://teendaze.bandcamp.com/t rack/lets-groove">Let's Groove by Teen Daze</a>
Well, this is pretty dope. Vancouver production wiz Teen Daze has chopped up "Let's Groove," the 1981 synth-disco masterpiece from Earth, Wind & Fire, turning it into a careening, pounding disco-house monster. Grab it below, and watch the enduringly loony video for the original while you're at it. Read More...
Anything Earth, Wind & Fire stamped on it is an automatic listen for me. I can't say this is the most creative or quality remix I've heard, but it's still got that Earth, Wind & Fire pizzaz. If you love "September" as much as I do, you'll get a kick out of this! Earth, Wind & Fire - September (One Love Bootleg) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Thanks to DML for this. One Love [...]

'Round this time of year, Québec revels in its modest share of lush tropical-esque weather. Lawn chairs are on the sprawl; Coronas are handy; UV rays toast the toxin-laden sweat out of bodies that took advantage of the balmy air of the night before to guzzle malted beverages like there was no tomorrow. Neo-catholic expletives blow out of mouths hither-tither and dissipate amidst the smoke of the last few King Size Export A's left. (*soupir* 'Sti qui fait chaud...) Inevitably, heat in itself is a manifestation of energy: as such, the higher concentration of energy in summer stirs [...]

Earth Wind & Fire: Official Multi-Grammy Winning, Multi-Platinum Album Selling, Legendary Music Pioneers: Earth, Wind & Fire gave me my first dose of real music as a child. Hearing their uplifting blend of soul, funk, gospel, jazz, rock, and dance music on the radio on the ride home from school was always a treat. Their grooves always had me tapping my feet, bobbing my head, and dancing in the car. Catchy melodies and fun lyrics would be stuck in my head long after the song was over. A lot of music would not exist today [...]
