…because disco

in the 1970s i was but a child and, even though disco was around, i was a bit too young to hit the clubs. i really began appreciating disco music when i started falling for house music. my curiosity made track down the samples and opened my ears to the disco sound. so here’s a good end of summer late seventies disco mix for those who like to party and can’t stop dancin’.

The Solace Of Grass

after finishing this, the 300th mixtape on dj luv’s records, i wanted to collect my thoughts and go for a walk in the countryside. take time to slowly ramble down the road communing with the land, contemplating the big blue sky, and the future. the auditory expedition contained within was created to enhance such wanderings. let’s go for a walk.

footwork 'n' juke
luv312 Jukeboxing

Jukeboxing

about six years ago i starting buying a new sound that was coming out of Chicago. it was raw with skittery beats, big drums, casio tones and mangled samples. seems a new generation had adopted a style of competitive dancing known as footwork and this new sound, sometimes called juke, is what drove the dancers wild. this is my first foray into this new, underground,  messed up and exciting evolution in electronic music; but it won’t be my last.

balearic beat
luv309 Or Is It

Or Is It?

the balearic sound is hard to describe because it’s everything and nothing; it’s whatever you want it to be. balearic beat was birthed in Ibiza during the mid-eighties for well off vacationing party goers from all over the globe to lose their minds to as the sun rose on the beach. so it tends to be happy, eclectic, international, chill, danceable grooves full of positive vibes. it’s also kinda cheesy… or is it?
