For all our peeps in the Glasgow area, we'd like to remind you all
that this Saturday Discopia is celebrating it's 2nd Birthday Party, as
part of "Death Disco" at Glasgow's legendary Arches! We have a special
guest in the form of Belgian Italo and Acid House maestro DJ SPACID,
head of the excellent Italo and nu-disco label Radius. We will be
recording the show for future broadcast, and giving away lots of
things like t-shirts, stickers, cds, and also hosting a charity raffle
with the prize of getting to pop James Pole's "man-cherry"! Only
kidding - but it will be a great night anyway, so get your glad rags
on and get ready to boogie!

We're back baby! With one hell of a show for you this month, featuring
a very special exclusive guest disco mix from none other than
everyone's favourite NewYork/SanFran/Berlin mix master Daniel Wang! An
intergral part of the disco scene since the early Nineties, and a
major recording artist in his own right, Danny presents over an hour
of rare and deep disco, with your host James Pole supplying the
all-important non-disco Discopia flavours. Just click below to check
it out:

Yowsah!

Yo Homebodies,

 

Here comes your second installment in the "So What's New On The Discopia SOUNDS Page?" series!

 

Well, we have a brand new Trippy Disco mix for you, starting the year as we mean to go on, with the deeply spaced out "6AM Eternal" mix. It will take you on an aural journey, man, from the Balearic bliss of Laurie Anderson and the Korgis to glitch pop James Bond themes, and from some classic deep house and disco boogie by the likes of Daniel Wang and the Idjut Boys, all the way to some Cosmic-style slo-mo madness… perfect for that hazy Sunday morning retreat from harsh reality! Let your ears embark on the adventure right now…

Keep checking back with us, as in the next few weeks we will be hosting new mixes from the likes of Greg Wilson, Laser Magnetic, Todd Terje, and a whole host of Glsgow disco talent, including the Discopia All-Stars look back at 2006!

 

Keep it Disco!

That's right Disco Lovers!

 

Happy Christmas to all our listeners out there in Disco land, on this edition of the Discopia shoiw we have an exclusive guest mix from none other than one half of the mighty Metro Area, and world class DJ in his own right, Mr Darshan Jesrani! Recorded after his awesome set at this year's Wee Chill in Glasgow, the mix is packed full of juicy goodness, and remember, if you live in the Glasgow area, Darshan will be playing this Hogmanay (Dec 31^st) in the city's Sub Club. Wahey! Niall is also on hand on the show, supplying you with an hours worth of the smoothest in soft rock and 70's FM classics. According to our highly scientific astrological predictions, and the Tarot of Russell Grant, soft rock will be huge in 2007. It's the new Balearic.

A Merry Christmas to all our readers and listeners, keep dancing into the New Year!

 

Hey Disco Addicts,

 

Just a short note to let you know I have uploaded the very first TRIPPY DISCO mix I created (dating from way back in June of 2000AD) to the Discopia server for you all to listen to. And yes, while the mix is six years old, it has dated surprisingly well, with only one cheesy spinback to be heard in all its 80 minutes! Plus plenty of that late 90-'s Nuphonic style disco cut-up action that I still can't help but love so much. So if you're wondering what "Trippy Disco" is all about (even though I think the name is self-explanatory, I still get asked all the time!), you can now listen to some of the roots of the sound for yourself…
 

Enjoy!

Yes, that's right disco diggers, this week on the Discopia Show we are honoured to have a guest mix by none other than the crown prince of Norwegian Disco, and one of the best DJs in the world today, Prins Thomas! In one of the best guest mixes we have had on the show to date, Thomas (Feedelity/Full Pupp/Eskino/mate of Lindstrom… you know who we mean!) serves up a blinding blend of deep disco, spaced-out house, electronic oddities and zombie funk. Ably hosted by Discopia's own James Pole, with his own Utrecht-acquired crate of rare psyhefunk and balearic disco, this is definitely one show you will not want to miss!

 

Simply follow the link below for the Prinsy goodness…

Need I remind you that Discopia number 9 is now online and dying to be read? No? Good!

 

You may also be interested to know that we are hosting a very special Maurice Fulton mix special on Discopia right now. Maurice was in Glasgow back at the start of September, and we managed to get him down to the radio studio to record some music. Unfortunately everything fucked up, from the equipment to the day's schedule, but being an incredibly decent chap Maurice agreed to send us some of the tapes of his own Sheffiled based radio show, and we now have them on our website for your listening pleasure. From disco to house to jazz to wigged out rock, everything you know and love about the Fultonizer is here. Just click below and enjoy!

That's right, the latest edition of everyone's favourite Disco webzine is online now! Featuring an exclusive new article by Daniel Wang on Discotheque Acoustics, and interviews with the likes of Legowelt, Casco, Marco Bernardi, Prince Language and much much more, surely at this stage I don't have to tell you all just how good this magazine is?

 

Also, for a limited time, the Discopia MySpace, which is linked below, is hosting the full version of the Trippy Disco re-edit of Giorgio Moroder's classic "Utopia", and it is available to everyone to download – for nish! This has been burning up dancefloors around the country for a while now, but you can get your hands on it – yes – for NISH!!! Nish means nothing for non-British and Irish readers. So check it out, and don't forget the Discopia Show which is streamed through Radio Magnetic…

 

Hey Music Lovers!

 

We have a delightful mix for you this week on the Discopia Show – care of none other than DJ RAMAR one of the founding members of London's VOICES COLLECTIVE. Ramar, or John to his Mum, dropped in to the studio at the start of the summer and laid down 70-odd minutes of rare disco/Balearic/electro and all that goodness you regularly listen to Discopia for. Having already had Alex Pe Win on the Show, we have now covered two third of the Voices posse, and eagerly await a visit from Mr Cedric Woo! Niall will also be on hand with some spaced oddities and random chat.

 

And listeners, don't say we're not good to you!  Check out the amazing line-up that we have coming to your earholes this season -  we have exclusive mixes from Daniel Wang, Darshan Jesrani, Prins Thomas, Mighty Robot Recordings, Todd Terje recorded live at Disco Not Disco, The Maurice Fulton Files, Billy Woods, Lazer Magnetic, and much much more… Excited yet? You should be!

 

Stay Tuned…
