LISTEN UP!! Disco Mix QUIZ time...

**bryanbergman** · February 17th, 2004, 10:17 AM

Hello to our big world of DISCO AFFICIONADOS!

Below is a link to a "no particular theme, just funky or jazzy" mix I did up on the 1200's earlier this evening... First one to list all 9 tracks (and they're not that terribly hard) gets... ummm... CONGRATULATED!!!

While you're at it - any comments on the mix would be cool, remembering this was done without any prep or theming, I just hopped on to practice mixing good ol floating bpm disco, and play some cool stuff i either needed to familarise myself with better.. or tunes I hadn't played in a while... and that's how I like it!

Cheers! :D

Bryan,

Listened to your mix, nice blends as far as i can judge,
not a mixer myself but sounds nice even thoug i do not recognize any track. :(

Made a cd from the mix for the archive, consider that a compliment :lol:

The best things in life are free, Peter

1. El Coco - Dancing In Paradise
2. don't know
3. Billy Frazier & friends - Billy Who
4. Goody Goody - It Looks Like Love. Chic - Dance, Dance, Dance clone. What a rip off, eh?

6. I admit defeat.......Deodato? Eddie Russ?
7. Eastbound Expressway - Never Let go

**efunk_adelic** · March 1st, 2004, 11:41 AM

**QUINNY** · March 1st, 2004, 01:33 PM

Oh well, i'm toggled to Real Player which dominates my computer... however, Windows MP should come up... :-?

right click the link, save target "as" and download it to your harddrive to listen to it non streaming..im dnlding it now, will see if i can get the tracks no one else has got yet :D

**Jimmy-Michaels** · March 8th, 2004, 05:30 PM

Ok im clueless too on the unguessed LOL..the 2nd sounds like SOS Band and the last one sounds like the good instrumental Kool & The Gang morning type music from 79 and 80. Im very interested to know what the last one is cause I reallllllllllllllly like it and wanna get one!

**NickNack** · March 8th, 2004, 08:15 PM

OK Bryan, we've suffered long enough :lol: . Get back here and tell us who are the missing artists. I'm dying to know who the ladies are on Track 2. I feel I should know this but nothing is coming to mind. Also, Track 6 is a keeper but Track 9, now THAT IS THE JAM. What is this?! Sounds like Deodato or a damn good imitation. Put me out of my misery and let me see if I can find it and throw away some more hard-earned money. :roll:

5. Aquarian dream - You're A Star

Bryan, your mix rocks!

**bryanbergman** · March 10th, 2004, 10:20 PM

hey thanks!!! always tricky to mix the old tracks - but i love the challenge - and short effective disco mixes are just as good as a long overlay house mix i reckon! :-D

**DJSolo** · July 30th, 2004, 02:24 AM

How were you able to beatmatch these tracks? There is no strong kick drum.

**bryanbergman** · July 30th, 2004, 08:33 AM

I match by riding the pitch control and speeding up/slowing down on the fly as required... live drummers certainly aren't as accurate as a drum machine and mixing old boogie gets a little hairy at times!

fortunately i can hear i've improved a bit since i recorded this early in the year which is good! :lol:
