I came across this mix from Bottin while looking for some new tracks, Bottin is an Italian DJ, Producer, sound designer who is based in Venice. With the rise of Nu-Disco, this is a sound that is getting bigger by the day. It is also a sound that has been around for years and years, so its not really new. Most of it is loops from classic disco tracks with heavy synths and driving basslines. Italian disco has always been big with me, in fact any disco is usually my thing. This CD mix comp was released by Nang Records, iv a good few tunes on this label and it is well worth a mention.

This Discoursive Diversions mix is right up my street, as Bottin takes a handfull or tracks and carefully edits them into this mix. Its finger snapping, head nodding grooves are perfect to inject some daily disco into your life.

you can download it from Soundcloud also, which is always a bonus.

Enjoy.

To say I stumbled across this track is an understatement. For many Years Radio 1 have been ditching their famous DJ’s in search of something new and fresh. This has resulted in many a great DJ being cast aside; though this was not the case with the late John Peel. I have often said that Rob Da Bank is one of the few great DJs on this stations airwaves. Rob is music through and through from his Sunday Best label, DJing and the various festival events he curates.

Rob is one of them DJs that covers such a wide range of genres, It easier to say he is just a great DJ. It was through Rob that I got my hands on this little number, “Summer Girl” by Family Of The Year. It was featured as a tune of the day on Robs Twitter page, a little bonus for anybody who follows the DJ.

Family of the year are a band that I know nothing about but i will be keeping an eye out for. This track has a distinctive summer feel to it, like the name suggests. It has similarities to that of the great Beach Boys, something that is often over used but certainly worthy in this case. I see nothing wrong with posting this mid November, something to help us think of warmer times.

I literally cannot stop listening to this track and have been forcing people to listen to it. For this reason it seems a good place to kick of my new blog with this post.

You can download this track for free here thanks to our friends at CRC Music.

Dedicated to the eternal summer girl, Miss Traffic.
