FANTASY DISCO COMPILATION.

[feif]

if any of you ppl out there for a single day were ever given the chance to compile a disco based compilation for a record label what kind of stuff would you put on it?

With licenses being restricted i suppose compilers have their arms bound and settle for fillers but if i ever had an opportunity i would compile a complete 100 tracked box set of disco/dance

2.BABY LOVE-DANNII MINOGUE
3.THIS TIME I KNOW IT'S FOR REAL-DONNA SUMMER

8.HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN-LONNIE GORDON
9.STAND UP FOR YOUR LOVE RIGHTS-YAZZ
4.HUSTLE TO THE MUSIC-FUNKY WORM
13.I'M GONNA CATCH YOU-LONNIE GORDON
14.AIN'T NO LOVE,AIN'T NO USE-SUB SUB FT MELANIE WILLIAMS
15.HANG ON IN THERE BABY-CURIOSITY
16.HAPPY JUST TO BE WITH YOU-MICHELLE GAYLE
19.LATELY-LISA SCOTT-LEE
12.TWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY-NOMAD FT SHARON D CLARKE
Waahh....this has nothing to do with disco and is not influenced in any way. It's easy listening type music. Many dj's stick this in the smooth jazz compilations for lack of a better classification
10.ALL AROUND THE WORLD-LISA STANSFIELD
Although Black Box's rise to fame was with techno music, they later became known to many for putting out great 90's dance
11.EVERYBODY EVERYBODY-BLACK BOX
Now to answer your question the only disco part of list are these two tracks below. These tracks just came out about a year ago and it's House music (or modern day disco music, but nobody calls it that ever). I made some additions in bold below aside from those two tracks
18.GROOVEJET-SPILLER FT SOPHIE ELLIS BEXTOR
20.LOLA'S THEME-SHAPESHIFTERS FT COOKIE
"ARTIST - TITLE"
Blaze feat. Palmer Brown - Do You Remember House (Bob Sinclar Remix)
Bob Marley vs Funkstar Deluxe - Sun Is Shining (ATB Club Mix)
Bob Sinclar - I Feel For You
Kurtis Matronik feat. Chamonix - How Did You Know (77 Strings)
Cerrone - Je Suis Music (Armand Van Helden Remix)
Eric Prydz - Call On Me
Freemasons feat. Amanda Wilson - Love On My Mind
Candi Staton - You Got The Love (Shapeshifters Remix)
Kano - It's A War (Serge Santiago 2004 edit)
All of the songs I listed above are either cover versions or remixes of disco tracks except for the Bob Marley one. That was originally a reggae song and a good one too. The ATB remix does it justice when it comes to dance music. The other cd's are fine though with the exception of this one in which I took it upon your request to correct.

This is also house, but not the same as the two tracks mentioned earlier. This is acid house.
5.SUPERFLY GUY-S EXPRESS

I hope that helps!

TBH most of what is mentioned in the 'future' sections wouldnt be my cup of tea and a lot of 'house' tracks mentioned in this thread would be modern equivalents of the really commercial late 70's drivel that was pumped out by the majors
