LISTEN: Sleeping at the disco
There’s an indie DJ in Sydney at the moment calling himself Fire In The Disco, but one of the things that stuck with me from being in Tokyo in 2005 is kids asleep beside the dancefloor because the trains shut down in the early hours.
- Herbie Hancock - Tell Everybody
- Disco Dub Band - For the Love of Money (Underdog mix)
- Domu - Not in Common
- Double U - Secret Love (Metoboman remix)
- Black Devil Disco Club - No Regrets
- Imagination - Changes (Larry Levan version)
- OTW - He Dance Funny
- Domu - Fun No More
- As One - Away From All of This
So that’s the name. The reason it sounds like it does was Jamie Lloyd’s new album, Trouble Within, on Sydney label Future Classic. I’m not saying this mix hits the same notes as that great record. But after listening to Lloyd’s record three times in a row I got thinking about all these other great records and had to listen to them.
I would have fitted some Arthur Russell in, but it was very much of the moment, and in that moment I couldn’t find any.
