examples of DISCO-REGGAE

*sigh* yeah, unfortunately soundcloud won't let me have enough space to host both mixes :-( if you have gmail i could try forwarding it to you?

or if anyone can host both, would be even better!

i'm pretty sure if it's more than 10mb it won't forward. if its under 100mb, mediafire works great.

okay, i'm giving it a try. i will try and host these somewhere better soon cos i'm not ashamed to admit i'm really pleased with them.

"fly away/walking in the sunshine" has grown on me so much since i first heard it (thanks to this thread and making the mix).

just discovered this one on that Bamboo LP (a Supermax-related project). not sure what the naked lady is all about, but:

^ it's the cover of an in flagranti record

Waht about this?

In a similar vein, I've been kind of enjoying this recently. Don't know how disco-y they are, but the definition is intentionally loose.

cosmic disco?

a Spotify playlist made thanks to all the suggestions on this thread!

Cool!

One day I'm going to edit the two mixes I posted upthread, cut out a bit of the fat and add a few latecomers for a single-cd version.

lew kirton : island girl

as the man says, 'do a little disco, and a little reggae, i guarantee you everythings ok'

Right, it's high time I put this reggae-disco mix together properly. More suggestions please!

Joe Gibbs has some excellent almost entirely disco-based tunes. Bionic Encounter is like a dubbed-out version of "Runaway" by Loleatta Holloway. He also has a version of "I Want Your Love".

I was sure I'd posted this before (is there another disco reggae thread?):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1u_h090m-k

The "version" is even better but not on YouTube.

Risco Connection also worth a mention here; is this the version of "It's My House" that jaime mentioned upthread?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61_Ceg8rRKg

Cheers - Not sure about either of these versions as I'm at work. The version of It's My House posted upthread was by Storm IIRC.

The Brentford versh of I Want Your Love is possibly the Joe Gibbs production I mentioned too.

just picked up this from the 2nd hand store -

!!!! What's it like? I need this.

Google album title. First page of results.

Sadly (well not that sadly, but for the purposes of this thread), the "disco" part of the title only refers to where one would hear it, not the music style.

probably already said in this thread, but 'discomix' in reggae generally refers to a combination of the original vocal mix plus either the dub mix or the dj version.

xpost yeah i hadnt listened to it before i posted! its a good comp, but not disco-y at all

supermax, camillo

Heard this Marcia Griffiths cover of a Gamble & Huff song the other day and thought of this thread.

Hopefully this isn't a repeat of one of the many removed youtubes upthread.

Bob Marley and the Wailers - I Know (on Confrontation album)

Nazia hassan - "aao na"

Repost from an ID thread for future reference: I made this 40+ song playlist on spotify (it's set to private... although I think you can share it even if it's private?)

"Michael Oliviere - Reggae Is Here Once Again" is in lieu of the Steel an Skin song of the same name since it's not on spotify. Is this the original song? A cover? It's actually pretty good, not as good and funky as the steel an skin one but an apt substitute.

Here's another good reggae/disco track that hadn't been mentioned yet and is not available on spotify.

Capo And The Crew -- Mad Blank
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEzXav84ACk

wow Moka, amazing! I'll have to dust down my copy of spotify and take a listen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVHEljAd13M

bought this on vinyl this week. almost reggae house music - but i guess reggae disco. amazing tune.

so good. i had been chasing it for years so was delighted it got put out again.

Why has this song changed to B.B. Seaton - Dancing In The Moonlight?

https://soundcloud.com/dkmntl/orpheu-the-wizard-jamie-tiller-at-lente-kabinet-festival-28052016

anyone know the id of the tune at 1 hour 1 minute? it is total fire.

https://www.discogs.com/Michael-Paul-Reggae-Music/release/4840338

according to the comments. i think that's right but i'm struggling to find an online sample

yeah I couldn't find on either, but it being US-produced makes sense and this sounds like the same dude years later: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/mpaulitopia

turns out it's this: https://www.discogs.com/Michael-Paul-Reggae-Music/release/4840338

xpost yeah otm. can't find it online.

this is also good, the first track on the below ep - at 1 hour 14

https://www.discogs.com/Staffud-Reggae-Revival/release/2941696

not reggae, just disco but the track at 1.15.48 is amazing as well. anyone know what that is?

it's a brilliant mix, especially from about 55 mins in.

http://www.noiseinmyhead.com.au/2016/06/240516-w-chris-bonato-left-ear-records/

there's a mix on there with the same Michael Paul track, so it's definitely that track, but he's barely released anything else i can find. great tune tho.
