The Funk Assassin

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.

✨ Discothèque Decadence

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.

We begin with a slow tease: Daft Punk – “Get Lucky” (The Funk Assassin’s Groove Lucky Edit). A stripped, sultry rework that slides straight into your hips and lingers there. The lights are low, the air’s warm, and the rhythm wastes no time getting intimate.

Also expect my remix of Jamiroquai – “Space Cowboy” (The Funk Assassin’s Synths In Space Remix)—galactic funk for bodies that don’t want to land. Throughout the mix, I flip the greats: Barry White gets deeper, SOS Band gets sexier, Róisín Murphy glows with neon seduction, and Kathy Brown delivers pure heat.

Expect serious floor friction from:

Purple Disco Machine – Beat Of Your Heart

Sgt Slick – White Treble Black Bass

Ken@Work – Such A Special Night

Crazy P – Human After All

Plus many more!

This one’s built to move you—slow grinds, stolen glances, and grooves that touch all the right places. Turn it up, dim everything else, and let the mix take its time.

This set drips with the kind of late-night heat that keeps bodies moving and eyes locked.

You’ll glide through Sade’s “Paradise” given fresh life by Mark Lower & Alexandra Prince, a honeyed spin on A Taste of Honey’s “Boogie Oogie Oogie”, the shimmering disco mischief of KC & The Sunshine Band in an Eric Kipper extended ride, and Kool & The Gang’s “Fresh” reinvented with OnDaMike’s club-ready punch.

🎚️ DISCOTHÈQUE DECADENCE PRESENTS: STUDIO 54 FLIPPED (DD005)

“Turning the sound of Studio 54 on its head…”

This isn’t your typical disco revival. This is Studio 54 flipped — a glitterball-splashed rework of dancefloor royalty, rebuilt with house heat, nu-disco flair, and edit culture energy.

We kick things off with a killer mashup that fuses “Rapper’s Delight” with CHIC’s “Good Times”, courtesy of Ivan Jack & Master Mike — a nod to the birth of hip-hop and disco’s golden groove in one seamless jam.

Then Ken@Work steps up with a slick remix of “Good Times”, reshaping a classic into a strut-ready roller.

The fire continues with Purple Disco Machine, Benjamin Ingrosso & Nile Rodgers on the outrageously funky “Honey Boy (Extended Version)”.

We roll into Kylie Minogue’s “Tension”, given a shimmering electro-glam remix by Chromeo, and a twilight anthem in Shakedown’s “At Night” (Purple Disco Machine Extended Remix).

Also packed in the crate is a bouncing remix of Kool & The Gang’s “Fresh” from HP Vince, bringing neon-tinted boogie to the dancefloor revival.

We round things off with a high-voltage twist on CHIC’s “Freak Out”, with Pitbull and Nile Rodgers closing the party in full hands-up style.

And that’s not all — this mix is stacked with edits and grooves from the likes of Nathalie Duchene & Yuksek, CHMI, Michael Gray & LaMay, Javier Penna, DiscoRocks, Ladies On Mars, Sammy Deuce, and the ever-slick Crazy P.

Modern disco. Golden soul. All attitude.

This is Discothèque Decadence: Studio 54 Flipped.

👠✨ Save it. Share it. Freak out.

Step inside a world wrapped in velvet.

Velvety Grooves VG001 is your invitation to the shadows where the lights glow low, and the air pulses with rhythm. This is deep, sexy, sultry house at its finest—a soundtrack for late-night whispers and bodies moving slow.

Lisa Shaw tempts you with her sultry vocals on “I Can See It,” while the talented productions of Lovebirds, Eelke Kleijn, Mat.Joe, and more weave grooves smoother than satin sheets.

Basslines slide under your skin. Chords wash over you like silk. Vocals tease and beckon. It’s deep, sophisticated house designed to touch your soul—and everything else.
