| Two albums by Depeche Mode, "Violator" and especially "Ultra" have some of the most arresting electronic music on them I've ever heard. Ditto 2 albums by the British band the Cure: "Wish" and "Disintegration". Various recordings by Erasure, Yaz, Slowdive and Eurhythmics would also fit the bill. |

| I've deejayed at quite a few decadent S/M-fetish disco dungeon gigs in my time, until quite recently in fact. Tracks that went down well and complemented the sharp whiplash sounds coming from just beyond the dimly lit dancefloor and sometimes from the floor itself included: anything by DAF (Deutsche-Amerikanische Freundshaft) Yello: Vicious Games Romy Haag: Susse Kirschen Jamie Principle: Baby Wants To Ride the entire Black Devil album Giorgio Moroder: Evolution Rolling Stones: Sympathy for the Devil, the long version Cabaret Voltaire: 24/24, etc. Amanda Lear: Nymphomania and most importantly, everything Diamanda Galas ever did - neo-medieval cathedral wailings, hysterical screams from plaque infested pits of hell, howls of pain and no pleasure - suits you, slave. All 80's albums by Grace Jones will come handy, too. There's loads of sinister sounding italo stuff out there as well, sparse electronic yet somehow discoey stuff by Capricorn or Bad Passion. |

| I know it's not disco per se but I always think Enigma's 'Sadness' would go down well at one of these sort of nights. Yello's 'Lost Again' would be good too.

| ***** Speaking of which ..... Tony Orlando's low key DON'T LET GO would work into this .... Thunder, lightnin', wind and rain (Don't let go) (Don't let go) Love is formin' inside my brain (Don't let go) (Don't let go) I'm so eager I'm nearly dyin' (Don't let go) (Don't let go) You've been keepin' your lips from mine (Don't let go) (Don't let go) *****

| The hottest, most blatant S&M whip cracking dance tracks I know: Destiny-Lauren Grey and Leah Landis Watch Me Crawl- Marilyn Torch Sinning/Suffer- Grace Jones All of these tunes are clearly and undeniably and overtly odes to leathersex with no apologies. |

| Jussi mentioned my personal fave--EVOLUTION by Mr. Moroder. Also, I STRIP YOU by Easy Going, along with the aformentioned FEAR. There's a John Carpenter penned tune from his "ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK" movie--"THE DUKE ARRIVES....etc." Barry has been playing this on his radio show and it's real sinister with a groove lifted from the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin" .....good luck finding that however...was an Italian import remixed by someone named Mario.... it's in another thread. do a search.

| I'm an obscure disco nut. For your question of dark/electronic there are many, many, many choices for a mix of this type. You can check the Disco and Classic Tracklists on www.virgolounge and get some ideas. Hope this helps |

| I'm not sure if some of these are too obscure, and others too mainstream... The Black Devil lp Experimental Products - Glowing in the Dark Blancmange - Blind Vision Crash Course in Science - Flying Turns New Order - Everything's Gone Green, Ceremony, Blue Monday, Procession, In a Lonely Place (all found on the Substance compilation) Heaven 17 - Let Me Go (especially the instrumental b-side of the 12") Anne Clark - Our Darkness Siouxsie & the Banshees - Slow Dive Donna Summer - Now I Need You Hilary - Kinetic Sylvester - I Who Have Nothing lastly, I always got a dark, sexy vibe from Disco Circus - Over & Over and Queen Samantha's Take a Chance. |
