A new disco-reggae compilation.
not going to click through all the youtubes to figure it out, but hopefully this thread didn’t get to 200 posts without mentioning tyrone davis “rise up” (wackies)

More reggae-disco than disco-reggae, but I just pulled out "Nightflight to Venus" and I'm def adding "Never Change Lovers in the Middle of the Night" to my playlist:

Yeah that's a classic. I think I put that on my original mix made from suggestions to this thread. I absolutely love it

Atmosfear's Dancing in Outer Space has a couple of moments when it becomes almost reggae - the laser-ska bit between 2:17 and 2:52, and that liquidy dub bit between about 5:25-6:25 which sounds like the dubwise equivalent of paddling a canoe in choppy waters.

This is joyful and I think it deserves to be included in this thread: https://soundwayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/chi-town-reggae

Great stuff!
I thought I'd posted about it here already, but the Risco Connection comp has been a highlight of my year: https://riscoconnection.bandcamp.com/album/risco-version

shame there's no dub version tbh because the synths are great but the singing is a bit much

Forgive me if this has been posted before (I can't see it) but this compilation looks great

That Margino track sounds so much like Yvonne Chaka Chaka's "I'm In Love With a DJ". I assume it's the same producer

Yep. Attie Van Wyk

agreed, Moka’s Spotify playlist is a complete banger.
Ernest Ranglin’s “Soft Touch” is complete fire.

Great song!
Glad some of you have enjoyed the playlist! I need to do a clean-up and add more… in the meantime I have added some of the great suggestions so far!

What a tune that is

as everyone's kids head back to the covid factory i mean classroom, i submit bunny wailer's "back to school." disco-adjacent groove in the "rapper's delight" vein.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kzgXlC7KCo
