Description

When we think of disco and reggae, they seem like two very different worlds — mirror balls and four‑on‑the‑floor beats versus one‑drop grooves and heavy bass. But look closer, and you’ll find that disco and reggae have been dancing together since the 1970s. For our mix today, the focus is on the groove of disco from the crates, with the inclusion of the classic Third World version of' Now That We Found Love.
