Sweet lord, Christmas has come early! Yes sir!
And so the Ugly Talented Mix Series rolls on after a brief hiatus and we're kicking this refreshed feature off with one of the best blogs out there. It's a genuine personal favourite of both myself and Haydn plus home to my most used 'smart playlist' on my Ipod.
Beat Electric deliver some of the best unsung and rare Disco-Lazer-Soul-Uber-Funk goodness that you will ever hear courtesy of our San Francisco brethren ripping vinyl 'til their fingers bleed. Subscribe now - your life is about to get so much better.
About 6 months ago our fellow Manchester bloggers 'Cosmic Disco' secured an awesome mix from Beat Electric and I seethed with jealousy for days. I can now finally lay that ghost to rest.
Here's the blurb from the West Coast boogie kings on the mix...
Here is a collection of tunes that have a synthy disco sound and a post disco, boogie feel. Trademarks of this sound are live drums, analogue synthesizers and funky bass lines. The mix follows a continuum of influence and contrasting styles of the music that gets us excited at Beat Electric. This is an all vinyl mix that was executed on a 1978 Bozak mixer that came out of the Midtown Manhattan club Inferno.
You all know how this works - let us know what the tracks are and we'll update you as you post comments. I'll have one eye on the responses and keep the track listing in check as you go.
Many thanks go out to the Beat Electric crew for pulling this together and not telling us where to get off after I did a bit of chasing. 'Tis truly an honour.
Enjoy.

Track 4 - Stargard Wear It Out Instrumental version. Ace mix. Cheers
Yes Jojo - good call. Some tougher ones though...
Track 2 actually but near enough.
Right, first things first. superb mix. Track 8 is Loose Joints - Is It All Over My Face? but maybe a different version. Dunno?
Stephanie Mills "Put Your Body In It" 20th Century Fox Records (1979)
Track 3 is Alphonse Mouzon - I'm Glad That You're Here but a remixed version and track 4 is
One On One - Body Music. Incredible mix!
Nice one Johno!
The first one is Demi Roussos - I dig you
(but the bass is boosted I think)
Original song was Odyssey - Who, which was in Pilooski's Dirty Space Disco compilation. What an awesome track!
Cheers!
Top shout - Demi it is. Keep 'em coming!
#5 Tempest Trio - Do You Like The Way That It Feels (Marlin, 1979)
#8 Loose Joints - Is It All Over My Face (West End, 1980)
#9 Janice Christie - One Love (Supertronics, 1985)
#11 Legacy - Word Up (Brunswick, 1982)
#13 First Love - It's A Mystery To Me (Chycago International Music, 1982)
All spot on - only 7, 10 and 12 to go.
Haydn's nailed the remaining tracks but I'm not going to stick them up - anyone else know the remaining three?
Thanks for the comments,
The Loose Joints track is the Female Vocal version and it is a Larry Levan Mix. The Demis Rousos track was taken from the 7" where it is a b side. None of the tracks have been modified or EQed at all, they didn't even go through the tone circuit.
Cheers, LeBaron
It's my first visit on your great blog, I came along through Beatelectric...

& #12 is
Cashmere - Do It Anyway You Wanna (Instrumental) - Philly World Records - 1983.

Cheers Boo - I checked the download and it seemed fine. Glad you got your hands on it. There we go - all sorted - excellent stuff from the Beat Electric Team!
I always like the things the Beat Electric guys do and again they put a great mix together! The 1978 selftitled album by Demis Roussos is one of the best disco albums ever. I like every mix with this big guy squeezed into it! ;-)

Chris

Which in turn elements of TOCA Competition New driver Two have you been especially looking to improve upon?Gary: Just about any aspect of the sport is being either revisited or rewritten to improve on TOCA Contest Motorist Two. Obtaining double the information of their forerunner is simply the kick off point, with all the further contest regulations along with regulations--including exercise sessions, qualifying, contest banners, and also pit-stop refueling as well as exhaust strategies--all increasing the total race experience. Graphically, the environments and the automobile designs tend to be comprehensive together with standard maps along with radiosity lighting effects used through.

And in other pics you can observe two more bridesmaids, one wearing this feeltimes dresses and something wearing that one.
All the ladies' bridesmaid dresses were within the collection's Blush color, so that they match perfectly. And they all are less expensive than $180, causing them to be even more awesome in my book.
