Feel my Bicep

Nicked this mix of pitchfork it’s so ace, full of those sick tunes every disco dj has been bustin out for the last 15 years!

“DFA’s Tim Sweeney has put together a mix of mostly early-90s disco and house from the Balihu label, an imprint started in NYC in 1993 by producer Daniel Wang (you may recall seeing his name on the tracklist to Hercules and Love Affair’s recent mix, Sidetracked). The mix is heavy on Wang’s original material (see tracklist below), but also features a number of the label’s other releases, some of which have never had digital versions until now. A compilation of the label’s highlights, entitled Daniel Wang Presents Balihu 1993-2008 is out today via Rush Hour.”

After  only stumbling into Azari & III today, this tune really caught my attention whilst listening to the the latest Beats in Space. The Roland drum machine sound gives a real old school Detroit style vibe, helped with “inner City” and “stings of life” style chords resonating in the background throughout. Stacks of Jack- then you get the vocals, they are outstanding!

Finally seeing a 12″ release after many years in the T&T  record box! This is a huge dance floor orientated disco edit .

T & T are Tim Sweeney (Beats In Space) and Tim Goldsworthy (DFA/ loving hand). “Don’t Stop (T&T Version)” has been pumped by the likes of 2 Many DJ’s, James Murphy, Horse Meat Disco, Optimo, Shit Robot, and a few other friends for the past 3 years. Finally, this floor filler sees the light of day. Backed with another reworked classic on the B-side, this EP takes a peak inside some of the exclusive mixes used in a T&T DJ set.

T & T – Don’t Stop (T&T Version)

Get it in plastic from Phonica

This week I have been listening to a few old “beats in space” podcasts and found a guilty pleasure. He goes by the name of Baris K.

Baris K is a Turkish DJ with influences ranging from 70’s Turkish cosmic disco music, with prevalent psychedelic & Anatolian Rock.

I am 90% sure you have probably heard his music in a Turkish kebab shop somewhere in the East end. This record come with a word of warning, like many office emails you get NSFW, this one is kinda NSOL (not.safe.out.loud.). Anyway I have managed to hunt down a mix by him and also a link to what has to be a Turkish porn tune, but Baris K we love you!

A nice tune that was played on the most recent beats in space podcast, nice old school disco vibe and an obvious italo influence with the vocals. Apparently it was rejected by tough allinace and pushed out as a bootleg!
