Congratulations North Carolina! You passed an amendment to ban gay marriage, making it the second amendment in your state to limit marriage rights. In case you were wondering, the first was in the 187s0, when you banned interracial marriage. I don't know about you, but news like that makes me want to dance to some incredibly gay disco as an act of defiance. I hope this post can serve as a soundtrack to a giant gay dance party in North Carolina, preferably one outside a church run by closet-case homophobes who all secretly want to drop the bibles and vamp [...]
Carrying on our theme of treating this week like a DJ set today we're taking things up a notch. When the crowd starts to pick up and there's a few people on the floor we'll slap a bit of disco or something mid-tempo & weird. We don't want to skip to tops off hugging the speaker just yet so we're not going too mental but if someone has memorized the entire routine to 'You Could Be Dancin" from Saturday Night Fever (please God let that happen some night), which is one of the best films of ALL TIME (SRSLY), then [...]
Kid Who going deep with his new EP off Pizzico Records . The London-based DJ and producer is known for his Italo and funk inspired edits and remixes of artists such as Miguel Migs , Crystal Fighters , Jupiter and Patrick Cowley , but his Ursa Major/Ursa Minor EP has a harder house edge that I'm digging. The Ursa Minor cut is my favorite offering a deep (almost evil) vibe and a killer clap reminiscent or Permanent Vacation's remix of Woolfy vs. Projections' Neeve or Mungolian [...]
Trick or treat kiddies, here are some freebies to toss in your bag. "Halloween" - Glass Candy "Halloween" (Instrumental) - Glass Candy "They Came At Night" (Kid Who edit) - Patrick Cowley And this wouldn't be complete without a mixtape, so here's the latest from For Disco Play Only (mix #14) Jubilants - Antics (Dublin Aunts remix) [FDPO re-rub] by For Disco Play Only [...]
Posted about him before but again, Neil Diablo delivers disco in this damn strong EP .
A molti, il nome probabilmente dirà poco: eppure Patrick Cowley è stato ed è considerato tutt'ora un'autentico mito. Padre della dance Hi-NRG (più o meno il corrispettivo del nostro Eurobeat), il pioniere della musica elettronica da discoteca ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale sul finire degli anni '70 - quando la 'disco' era in forte crisi, preda dei suoi stessi limiti - e i sintetizzatori iniziavano a suggerire nuove sonorità. Compositore, arrangiatore, interprete e produttore, Patrick Cowley divenne un mito nella scena musicale di San Francisco e ebbe in Sylvester (non a caso un personaggio che arrivava [...]

We thought we would drop a proper little disco bomb in the mix, especially in the midst of our recent house pump. So its time to flex your guns to the spaced out sounds of Patrick Cowley,... DOWNLOAD/ STREAM http://www.feelmybicep.com
Many thanks to our friend Mystic Rock for turning us onto this one, taken from the 1979 LP ' Stars ' this hypnotic Patrick Cowley production marks the start of their working relationship that would shape Sylvester's later hi-NRG sound. Sylvetser - I Need Somebody To Love Tonight
I just received my copy of the Honey Soundsystem's recent Brotherhood compilation in the mail today. Fans of vintage disco & house take note - this 13 track CD is loaded with excellent edits, originals & obscurities (a tape edit of Maurice from 88?!). So far my favorites are Filthy Luka's Missing You , Gaye Marvin's (of Secret Mixes & Fixes fame!) edit of Lost in Music & the Discodromo cut. Have a listen below. You can pick up the CD directly from the Honey Soundsystem here . [...]

There's something about 32 year old Bulgarian producer Strahil Velchev that I can't seem to comprehend, wether it be his uncanny ability to turn every production work into gold, or his versatility as an artist, whatever it may be, this dude is a machine. He goes by the name of KiNK , and has been filling my library with pure brilliance for a couple years now. Here's a remix he did back in 2009 for San Francisco based experimental/electronic duo Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras that I can't seem to shake loose. Apologies for [...]
Incredible vocal and Patrick Cowley production on this 1984 disco-boogie number, flawless floor filler.
When in doubt, whip this out. The original needs no introduction but this remix has a slight acid line flying through it and thankfully its not an altogether big rework to say the least. Nice subtle... High quality download and some links hidden from RSS feed, click through to http://www.feelmybicep.com for full download
Essential Mix - это детище Eddie Gordon'a, музыкального журналиста, продюсера, диджея из Кента, что в Англии. С 1993 по 2001 он был продюсером этого шоу, с самого первого выпуска, а начиналось все так. В 1993 году Brian Chin, редактор US Billboard, записывал раз за разом кассеты с миксами, то Tony Humphries, то Frankie Knuckles, ведущих [...]
