Perfect Love Affair

Constellation Orchestra was a studio based adventure for producers Moses Billard (Guitarist) and Jesse Boyce (Bass) released on U.S Prelude Records in 1978.Only one album was made with the four tracks being "Funk Encounters" ,"Dancing Angel" ,"Cosmic Melody" and the self titled "Perfect Love Affair."The latter for me is the standout track and when it hits the five minute mark disco heaven is unleashed.No suprise then that the superb Ray Mang uses this to great effect on his "Orchestral Manouvres" track from his excellent album 'Mangled.' Two tracks that would tear up any discerning dance floor without a shadow of doubt.Enjoy...

Sucker for a Melting Pot night...

Well another bank holiday this weekend and that only means one thing.Yep Melting Pot's Andrew Pirie and Simon Cordiner are hosting another delightful night with the one and only...Ray Mang.I'm really looking forward to this one as Ray Mang (real name Raj Gupta) has been causing quite a stir over a good few years with his blend of leftfield deep house and disco edits.Me thinks this is going to be a mighty fine evening and a big thanks again for the guys at Melting Pot for pulling another ace out the bag.

So here's the flyer for the night and Ray Mangs top ten for May...
