Spacial French Disco

Over the past few weeks there has been some great releases based around Marc Chantereau, Pierre-Alain Dahan, and Slim Pezin's disco projects Arpadys, Disco & Co, and Spacial & Co. The Tubetracks label has released two volumes of great music from all three groups entitled Spacial French Disco 1975-79, as well as a re-issue twelve of Disco & Co.'s disco classic "Cold Coke" which featured a nice re-edit from Daniele Baldelli and Marco Dionigi. The great guys over at DJhostory.com just released a compilation entitled Le Disco: Tele Music Remixed that features a collection of re-edited Arpadys, Disco & Co, and Spacial & Co material by some of today's best disco producers including Prins Thomas, Ray Mang, Faze Action, Leo Zero, The Idjut Boys, and many many more. Here is one of my favorite original cuts, entitled "Black Cars", from the Spacial French Disco 1975-79 vol.01 record. I highly recommend picking up each and all of these newly released records, as I don't expect them to sit around long on the shelves. Enjoy!

Another Disco Voyage

Today I find myself, for the first time in awhile, listening and very much enjoying Voyage's 1977 self-titled album. This outstanding release is very solid from start to finish, with the album including classic cuts like ""From East to West", "Point Zero", "Latin Odyssey", and "Lady America" among others. This record was just one of the many incredible contributions that members of this disco group produced during their accomplished careers. Not only did this group produce a number of solid disco classics, members Marc Chantereau, Pierre-Alain Dahan, and Slim Pezin were also the brilliant minds behind the rare Disco & Co releases and the French cosmic disco group Arpadys. If there were a “Disco Hall of Fame”, you could be sure that these individuals would be some of the first to be inducted. With that being said, here is one of my personal favorite Voyage tracks in "Lady America". Enjoy!
