My kids hate my music or the music i force them to listen to when we are in the car. They tell me, can we listen to some proper music or something modern, I tell them the day they get their own car will be the day when they can listen to their music. Just quietly, i can’t stand the music they listen to and nowadays i mostly find myself drawn to music from the late seveties and early eigthees, especially rare disco and boogie. It’s proper dance music that super soulful and gets your body movin’. It’s not trying to beat me around the head with a sledge hammer or give me a nose bleed.

While the nothern hemishere is knee deep in wintery blasts we down the bottom of the globe are in the middle of a sizzling summer and what better sound track to go with the nice weather is some good vintage boogie from three damn fine sources.

1. Disco Deviance mix for Cosmic Boogie by Dicky Trisco.

Disco Deviance is a label that releases new and re-edits in a classic disco boogie viegn.

2. Dam Funk – Beautiful Music for Beautiful People

all vinyl, no cd’s, Mp3′s or downloads, just vinyl goodness in this mix from LA’s boogie master.

3. Dj Ayers and DJ ELeven – The Glamorous Life Vol. 3

Killer 80′s mix with some classic jams from back in the day. If you were an eighties kid like me then expect some nostalgia with this mix. Check his webiste for a load of mixes including the history of hip hop series. Each year is chronicled in a mixtape beginning in 1979 up to 2000.
