Usual silly BPM business from me on this episode, starting at about 112, right up to 126, down to under 100, then back up. Always a rollercoaster! Along the way I dropped the new chart topper from my good friend Pete Ellison, Boogietraxx, Shalvoy and a load more. I also included something from Moodymann, simply because I had the privilege of seeing him this Saturday just gone in what’s basically my local park. Awesome stuff. There's also a new one from myself, forthcoming on Hive Label.
For hour 2 it fills me with joy to welcome back my good friend and fellow Disco Walton Ken Avalon, AKA Discoholic Ken, AKA Kenny Ken Ken, AKA Kenmark for a second guest mix. The first one was waaaaay back in episode 25, right at the start of covid, and I didn’t know him at all. But since then we’ve become good friends despite still being yet to meet in real life. He runs an awesome blog at discoanon.com, an excellent show called Hot To The Touch on Friday nights on primeradio.gr, and a record label - Discoholics Anonymous Recordings - that I’ve been lucky enough to release a couple of tracks on, and I’ve got more lined up. I honestly regard Ken as my Disco Brother, and I couldn’t be happier to get him back on.
Ken’s mix is to me like an immaculately curated little snapshot of disco right now. Not all of the songs are brand new, but there’s a very generous sprinkling of the freshest and best tracks out there at the moment. I’d expect nothing less from someone who devotes so much time to keeping his finger on the pulse of the scene and promoting, pushing and championing the music that we love. So join us for a tour through disco as it stands right this moment.
Big love to Ken for coming back, love to the Disco Waltons, and love to Stream101 for letting me do my little show. Catch loads more from them on mixcloud.com/stream101
