Horse Meat Disco 2

Horse Meat Disco return to Glasgow at the beginning of June for another debauched disco party at the legendary Melting Pot which coincides with their second mix release on Strut Records out on the 21st of June. The last party was awesome with James Hillard and Jim Stanton rocking that sweaty little basement to its foundations, so this one should be no different. The music they pluck from obscurity is a joy to be hold and I for one is looking forward to their second installment and also the mix cd forthcoming.

Until then here is a little taster from the mix. Enjoy

Cyclades - Fire To Desire (1979)

There's so much good music out these days it's so god damn hard to keep up with it all. I reckon though that the latest from Mark E on his very own Merc records titled "Works 2005 - 2009 : Selected Tracks & Edits" is going to be in my opinion in the top ten albums released this year, even though it was only released a few weeks back. Featuring some of his finest moments to date on one disc with the irresistible groove on the opener "Sun Shadow", his re-take on Don Rays "Body & Soul" on "Ray Gun" and surely worth the asking price alone for his take on Janet Jackson with the glorious "R N B Drunkie" which has been huge since its release on 12.
As If that ain't enough to wet your appetite then the man himself will be back gracing the decks again at the Melting Pot on sat the 6th of Feb. So...?, what you waiting for...???




Buy Here or Here

Roll another at the campfire !

I must apologise with the lack of posts lately i've been rather busy and finding the time is difficult. Plus the fact i'm a lazy sod!
Anyway on with the show and first of all i'm really peeved that i didn't get the chance to go to the last couple of Melting Pot nights, not only missing Paul "Mudd" Murphy but also the super Mark Seven!!!
Next up and as always the MP crew have got another sterling line up featuring New Yorker Eric Duncan of Rub 'N' Tug, Birminghams man of the moment Mark E and Glasgows own JD Twitch of Optimo. This is sure to be one helluva party and one not to be missed.





















In the mean time here's Rub 'N' Tug's excellent Campfire mix out a couple of years back on Eskimo. Enjoy

HMD vs MP

Thanks to all who came out on friday, was a great night even though the weather was rotten.
The beginning of September will see two heavy weights in the disco scene coming together for a Melting Pot extravaganza.
The infamous Horse Meat Disco crew from London and The Melting Pot gang makes this look as though this is gonna be something special and if i'm back in time from having a jont around the balearics then its a night i wouldn't want to miss.

So in the meantime here is one from 1978 released on columbia records by Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.

Sweet soulful disco just the way it should be...

kitchen Sessions @ The Soundhaus August

The last Kitchen sessions night went really well and seems most people rather enjoyed themselves. So we have another and this time it's on Friday 14th August so should be good. The night is still in its infancy but we've got a good feeling about it and it lets us play some sweaty house music all night long so that can't be a bad thing!! Right?? I'll hopefully be posting up some mixes soon so watch out for them.

Kitchen Sessions @ The Soundhaus

Firstly can i just say that the Melting pot night with Dimitri from Paris was outstanding. Al kent warmed us all up very nicely with his unbelievable taste in music and Dimitri truly delivered the goods. I really have to say this but i reckon the guys at Melting pot are putting on the best monthly nights in Glasgow. Although thats just my opinion.
Anyway i shall be at the controls with my good friend Clouston and Colours resident Michael Paterson @ The Soundhaus on the 13th june, so should be a blast and the music will be slanting in a house/techno tip. So without further to do here is a bit of self promotion.

DJ Cosmo @ The Melting Pot

Another weekend approaches and down at Melting Pot the guys there have produced the goods once more with NYC's DJ Cosmo.Born in Boston then relocating to New York where she had her own radio show at 14.Wow!!! You can get more info on this very talented lady regarding her record label,her work as one half of Wild Rumpus and loads of other interesting stuff by clicking on the link to her Myspace here.
So if your in and around Glasgow then get your ass down there as it sure looks to be a good one.
