Ok, just to clear things up, Stephen Connolly had no part to play in that terrible blog title that I came up with. He isn't to blame. What he is to blame for, however, is the choice of songs for today. He is making his DJ debut at GIGANTIC tonight, and has picked these three tunes as representative of the kind of stuff he'll be dropping. In his own words... ------ The part of GIGANTIC that I think gets over-looked on the blog is the 10 - [...]

Jeff Wayne - Horsell Common & The Hea Ray 3. Patrick Cowley - [...]
I posted this over here recently, but seeing as Dublin Bus Disco & the new 12 Sundays blog cover similar ground, I'll be reposting some relevant stuff over here from time to time. Do go over & check out the 12 blog though if you find this place dacent, there's 7 of us writing for it so there's plenty of juicy tings goin' down, nearly every day like.. I did this edit ages ago, to cut out the filler & extend the killer. I'm pretty sure I just cut it in 2 & gave the second [...]
Над чем ты сейчас работаешь? Над собственными треками. Первая пластинка ( Waves и Death Suite , которую я записал с Алексом из Boys Noize ) недавно вышла на Boys Noize Records . Еще я работаю над альбомом Beyond The Wizards Sleeve , должно получиться здорово. Когда и где был записан этот микс? Некоторые задумки еще из первого подкаста Disco 3000 , который я начал в рождество 2007 года, позднее попытался закончить компиляцию в марте, но что-то не срослось и [...]

What happened to Harry Thumann ? After an incredible span of work from '77 to '83, he just kinda disappeared. How could we let him go? I mean, in addition to his own work including his signature tunes, Sphinx and Underwater, he also worked with La Bionda and Rondo Veneziano on the great La Serinissima . And then poof. Gone. Lost to the cosmos. I'd like to toss this golden rope out there Harry , one you wove of shimmering arpeggios and twinkling synths, in hopes that [...]
Harry Thumann - Underwater (Mischief Brew edit) Both a deadly synth, and from a synth-pioneer.. according to Wiki-P, (and I have to quote as I'm nowhere near the synth nerd that Hal is), "Always quick to embrace new technology, Thumann recognised the potential of MIDI and used Commodore 64 computers with MIDI cards controlling a system that evolved into a huge MIDI-controlled synthesizer installation including a plethora of synths and modules, plus a Fairlight II and Moog 3C modular system. This led to a string of albums of Rondo Veneziano, [...]
It's Friday & that means it's nearly Disco o'clock. And you can't get any more Disco than this: Harry Thumann's 'Underwater' pretty much sums up the whole genre. Utterly ridiculous, completely decadent, bloomin' awesome.. Harry Thumann- Underwater (Z Share) (YSI) Neuvo Disco- Boys Noize give Justice a good fisting: Justice- Phantom Pt 2 (Boys Noize remix) (Z Share) (YSI) On the other hand, if your planning a quiet weekend you could do a lot worse than wrapping yourself up in [...]
