Henrik Schwarz has transformed this classic into a modern day dj’s essential record, managing not to spoil the groove this one will get any set going! Pioneered in sets form Dixon and Ame of the Innervisions crew it made a massive impact on dance floors across the world last year.
Bill Withers – Who Is He And What Is He To You (Henrik Schwarz edit)
With two singles out on Prins Thomas’ Full Pupp label, two more on Get Physical sub-imprint Kindish, and now, a debut LP on Smalltown Supersound, the 27-year-old Norwegian producer Joachim Dyrdahl (a.k.a. diskJokke) is building an impressive CV. But there’s more to diskJokke than bulletproof connections; his spacey electro-disco is technically impressive and effortlessly appealing
”Some signs are good” mixes hand percussion, handclaps, and dubby synths with a bassline that seems to be burrowing between the drums.
This track rocks,……..think: Sven Vath producing disco in a glistening ice cavern somewhere very cold.
Another good installment to the repertoire of both Wainwright and Supermayer respectively. It has a non cheesy Christmas feel to it and brings back the Kompact sound of old.
This is both the original and the Supermayer version in one!
Rufus Wainwright – Tiergarten (Supermayer Remix)
TJ Kong is the latest in a long line of aliases from Erwin Van Moll. Eevolute, Eskimo, DjAx Up Beats, Mo Wax and Compost have all been lucky enough to have had releases from mr Van Moll.
The track “Disconnected” is a groovy house workout that is typical of Mr Van Moll. It starts with an excellent rhythm track that hooks you in straight away and then drops a deep, rich bass reminiscent of some of the classic house records from Eindhoven produced in the mid 90’s. This is quickly followed up with a breathy, seductive female vocal that leads you into the synth parts that propel you throughout the rest of the track until the 303 drops at the end. On the flip the track is reworked into a much darker affair with the 303 playing a central role from the beginning.
“Disco Necked It” builds slowly with dubby synths gradually joining the 303 and throbbing bass before a filtered string part straight outta Detroit creeps in creating a late night thriller that’s sure to have sweaty bodies grooving.
I invite you to come and bathe in these disco glories submerging yourself beneath the cosmic skyline.

Listening to the previous post, the Joakim RA mix, one tune came imprinted in my head….Midas Star – Midnight Touch (Boards Of Canada Remix), this tune really kicked the mix off. I have played out various other mixes by Pearson and CFCF but I’m liking this remix the more I hear it.
An amazing song in its own right and a video that outclasses the shite that is out there today. If you havn’t heard it get downloading!
Below is the remix talked of before, including some other unreleased tracks by Boards of Canada!

Delving back into the resident advisor archives, I’ve managed to pull another great mix from the greatness that is Joakim.
Out in the clubs, Joakim does both live sets and DJs, but for his RA podcast, Joakim has put together a rollercoaster turntable set which shifts between electro, mutant disco, techno and even a bit of New jack swing – all in Joakim’s inimitable style
