*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?
― village idiot (dog latin), Wednesday, 25 August 2010 19:46 (thirteen years ago) link
or if anyone can host both, would be even better!
― village idiot (dog latin), Wednesday, 25 August 2010 19:48 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm pretty sure if it's more than 10mb it won't forward. if its under 100mb, mediafire works great.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 25 August 2010 19:52 (thirteen years ago) link
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).

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.

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.

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".
― Evil Eau (dog latin), Thursday, 28 April 2011 08:57 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― Lidl Monsters (seandalai), Thursday, 28 April 2011 10:35 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― Lidl Monsters (seandalai), Thursday, 28 April 2011 10:46 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

Google album title. First page of results.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 2 May 2011 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― Evil Eau (dog latin), Monday, 2 May 2011 18:07 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 2 May 2011 18:18 (thirteen years ago) link

Love those dog latin mixes.
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?) Inspired by this reggae-disco thing. Some of my favorite are unfortunately not available in there (clout's sunshine baby and steel an skin come to mind) but there's some songs you might enjoy, several which I didn't see mentioned in this thread (will copy the text in a minute), in case you want to take a listen for your own sets/playlists:

Here's the playlist in text form:

"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.

Oh the order of the playlist is important for the flow. Here's the actual arranged playlist (without the album name, no idea why it copied it the last time)
