A Festive season mix for warm nights, soft lights, and anyone who believes the dancefloor can feel like a heartbeat…

This set was crafted with pure affection—for groove, for connection, for that slow-burn heat that rises when the right records meet the right moment. It opens with the velvet glow of Jessie Ware’s “Freak Me Now,” Babert’s flirtatious “I Wanna Dance Tonight,” and the soulful lift of “Back Together Again.” From there, every track becomes a touch, a look, a breath.

Purple Disco Machine’s edit of Claptone’s remix of Mylo – “Drop the Pressure” pushes the energy into a beautiful, irresistible strut—sleek, sexy, and confident. Nick Reach Up’s remix of Gadjo’s “So Many Times” wraps everything in sunlit nostalgia, the kind of groove that feels like warm hands on your waist. And then there’s Fango’s remix of Silicone Soul’s “Right On”—deep, hypnotic, intimate. A late-night whisper disguised as a rhythm.

Mixed between the magic, you’ll find the tenderness of Nile Rodgers & Emeli Sandé’s “When Someone Loves You,” and the timeless swing of Moloko & Mousse T.’s “Sing It Back”. And to close it all with love, Crazy P’s “One True Light” brings the whole journey home—glowing, soulful, and softly euphoric.

This is a mix made to hold you.

To warm you.

To move with you—body, mind, and heart.

DISCOTHÈQUE DECADENCE PRESENTS: CHIC NU DISCO CLUB MIX (DD014)**

“Where CHIC’s mastery meets Studio 54 glamour — with sass tucked neatly in its back pocket.”

We open by celebrating the architects of the groove:

Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, and CHIC —

the heartbeat of disco, the masters of elegance, and the blueprint behind almost every iconic dancefloor moment that still matters today.

From that spark, the night slips instantly into Studio 54 glitz —

mirrorballs humming, lights glowing, sequins catching every beat.

A flipped-classics celebration built from extended edits, velvet grooves, and that unmistakable New York swagger.

Dimitri From Paris sets the tone with gleaming remasters of “Le Freak” and “I Want Your Love”, the perfect velvet curtain-raiser for a winter party in full shimmer.

Ivan Jack & Master Mike glide in with “Rapper’s Good Times,” stitching disco royalty to early hip-hop cool, before Ken@Work reshapes “Good Times” into a sleek, strut-ready roller glowing with December warmth.

The glamour peaks as Sister Sledge’s “Lost In Music” dissolves into Soulwax’s electric rework of Sylvester’s “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” — pure Studio 54 attitude: chic, confident, unstoppable.

Dimitri lights the room again with his super-disco blend of “Street Player,” followed by HP Vince & Discotron turning up the heat with a revitalised “Disco Inferno” built for late-night sparkle.

And to close the festivities…

Anita Ward’s “Ring My Bell” floats in like the final dance at a winter party wrapped in velvet, glitter, laughter, and golden light.

This is CHIC.

This is Studio 54.

This is the season — bright, warm, glamorous.

This is Discothèque Decadence: Chic Nu Disco Club Mix.

✨ Save it.

✨ Share it.

✨ Ring that bell.

What started as a casual Madchester session to nod to Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield (Stone Roses & Primal Scream) slipped fast into a full psychedelic plunge through Andrew Weatherall’s heaviest basslines, dubbed-out shadows, and Factory-coded deep cuts. A detour that became the destination — the Manchester Effect in full flight.

This mix moves through the key zones that shaped the city’s sound:

the Madchester pulse, the Haçienda haze, the crossover where indie psychedelia, rave pressure, and low-slung groove blur into one continuum.

The current that carried Manchester from rehearsal rooms to warehouse floors and into club culture’s long memory.

Deep Groove Disco Session — Mixed by The Funk Assassin

A journey through modern disco gold and timeless soulful reworks, driven by the unmistakable touch of the genre’s finest selectors and remixers. This mix locks you straight into that velvet groove from the opening bars.

Expect heavyweight energy from the start — the Antonello Ferrari & Aldo Bergamasco Club Mix of “Relight My Fire” ignites the floor, paving the way for Dr Packer’s signature multi-track magic on “Do It To The Music.” Dave Lee’s fingerprints run deep throughout: from the Kashif-flavoured tribute on “I’m In Love” to the zoned-in smoothness of “You,” his craftsmanship shapes the heart of this session.

Purple Disco Machine’s edit of “She Can’t Love You” lifts the tempo into that shimmering disco-funk pocket, while Ken@Work flips “Outstanding” into a head-nodding burner. Groovemasta keeps momentum alive with “Still In Love” and “Love Insurance,” locking in a warm, soulful mid-set flow.

Closing out in style, Dave Lee’s Found a Place Mix of “Come Go With Me” rolls effortlessly into the legendary Larry Levan 12” remix of “I Know You Will” — a perfect homage to the roots that shaped dance culture.

This is modern disco done properly: soulful, stylish, and built for dancefloors that know the difference.

Stream, share, and turn it up.

The night begins with a slow burn… Greg Wilson’s version of Love Is the Drug by Roxy Music — a timeless groove celebrating 50 years of a record that still drips with danger, desire, and velvet allure. 🥀✨

From there, we slide deeper into the pulse — smooth edits, late-night disco burners, and grooves built to make the floor melt. Raw Silk’s Just in Time gets a lush lift with Michael Gray on the remix, setting the tone for a night where every beat is a touch, every bassline a whisper.

D.C. LaRue’s Cathedrals — wrapped in that classic Dave Lee disco extension — unfurls like a velvet curtain. Rhyze’s Do Your Dance slides in with that Moodena bounce, the kind of track that makes hips talk without words.

We keep the energy hot with The Shapeshifters’ Slippery People featuring Ramona Renea & Fiorious — Sophie Lloyd turning it into pure sweat and seduction.

The night’s heartbeat hits its stride with Phyllis Hyman’s You Know How to Love Me (Dave Lee’s Extended Disco Mix) — a record that glides like silk and bites like champagne bubbles.

Then… D.C. LaRue returns with Do You Want the Real Thing in an Opolopo rework that’s all heat and no hesitation.

Finally, we bring it home with disco royalty — Candido’s Dancin’ and Prancin’ (The Reflex Revision) and The Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra’s Step Into My Life — a one-two punch designed to keep you locked in the groove, body to body, beat to beat.

This is Lovers Groove.

Where disco sweats, seduces, and never says goodnight. 🖤🪩

Step inside… the lights are low, the floor is glowing, and the night is ready to misbehave. 🪩

This isn’t just a mix — it’s a love letter to the dance floor. A shimmering journey through the golden pulse of 70s–00s pop culture, reborn through remixes where legends slip into something new and every beat drapes across the skin like silk.

It opens with a David Morales remix of Ain’t Nobody by Chaka Khan — a slow-burning rework that pulls you in. The glow spreads through remixed cuts of Groove Is in the Heart by Deee-Lite, Boogie Nights by Heatwave, My Forbidden Lover by Chic, and Ladies’ Night by Kool & the Gang — satin grooves designed to make hips sway and pulses skip.

The temperature rises with Give Me Love by Cerrone — remixed by Louie Vega — before Cosmic Girl by Jamiroquai gets a disco-funk remix from Dimitri from Paris.

Then comes the champagne rush: the Studio 2054 remix of Real Groove by Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa, followed by Give Me the Night by George Benson in a smooth remix from Shane D.

Jealousy by Róisín Murphy keeps the room simmering with a Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye remix, seductive and slow like an exhale in a crowded room.

Finally, the night exhales with the PNAU remix of Cold Heart by Elton John and Dua Lipa — a cosmic kiss goodnight.

The lights don’t fade here… they smolder.

Legends don’t age — they seduce.

SUNSET TO SUNRISE: Autumnal Equinox Special

🍂 A golden-hour soul session by The Funk Assassin

As day and night meet in perfect balance, this mix captures the deep amber glow of autumn’s first long evening. A velvet-smooth journey of laid-back grooves, Balearic soul, and deep, sultry house — designed to carry you from the last rays of light into the season’s crisp night air.

Big moments shine through The Shapeshifters & Kimberly Davis’ “Life Is A Dancefloor,” the radiant uplift of Mousse T’s “Love If You Need It,” and the irresistible pulse of Opolopo’s remixes of “Just Be” and “Deeper Love.”

Jack Back’s “(It Happens) Sometimes” and Honey Dijon’s “Stand” stoke the evening fire, while Michele Chiavarini & DJ Spen’s “Everybody (On The Dancefloor)” and Sebb Junior’s “Never Be Alone” keep the energy balanced and glowing.

And as the night tips past midnight, the incomparable Ron Carroll seals the set with closing classics “Lucky Star” and “Back Together,” a timeless reminder of the soulful house spirit that bridges summer’s warmth and autumn’s cool embrace.

🍁 Perfect for equinox evenings — where day and night share the sky.

Mixed with love by The Funk Assassin.

And as the seasons turn… remember: the Eye of Solaris is always watching.

Step inside a world wrapped in velvet, a soundtrack for liminal spaces—where time, emotion, and destiny are in flux.

Velvety Grooves VG002 invites you deeper into the shadows, where the lights glow low and the air hums with a slow, seductive pulse. This is deep, sexy, sultry house at its finest—a soundtrack for late-night whispers and bodies moving in perfect sync.

From the hypnotic touch of Finnebassen’s “When Doves Cry” and “What You Do” to the moody textures of Karmon’s “Circus” and “Wowshit,” every beat drips with warmth and desire. Fly O Tech’s “Funk Me Down” teases with playful basslines, while Finnebassen & Gundelach’s “When It Rains” washes over you in silky waves. Fabian Kash’s “Chrome,” Robosonic’s “The Edge,” Adana Twins’ “Strange,” Climbers’ “Equal Responsibility,” and Schwarz & Funk’s “Bonjour Ibiza” complete the journey—grooves smoother than satin sheets.

Basslines slide under your skin. Chords wash over you like silk. Each track beckons you closer, daring you to stay until the very last note.

Whether you’re lost in your own thoughts under neon lights or tangled up in someone’s arms, Velvety Grooves VG002 is here to make the night feel endless.

Press play. Close your eyes. Let the velvet take over.

This mix is a celebration of the edit – where funk, soul, disco, and hip hop get reimagined for today’s dancefloor.

We open with Greg Wilson & Ché’s remix of The Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” – a fresh, floor-shaking twist on a timeless classic. From there, it’s pure groove: The Reflex lifts Instant Funk to new heights, DJ Fudge adds fire to Sadam Ant, and Dave Lee delivers pure gold with Glenn Jones, Mtume, Harvey Mason, and Gwen McCrae.

Ken@Work flips Curtis Mayfield and Tom Browne into modern floor-fillers, keeping the energy alive and kicking.

The originals – Tom Browne, Gwen McCrae, Instant Funk, The Sugarhill Gang – built the foundation. The editors – Greg Wilson & Ché, The Reflex, Dave Lee, DJ Fudge, Ken@Work – keep it alive, fresh, and powerful in 2025.

This is about groove, respect, and reinvention. Turn it up and celebrate the culture.
