Just went to the amazing disco festival electric elephant in Croatia near the Adriatic. This tune was one of the main hits of the festival - very uplifting.

Candido - Thousand Finger Man


Hypnotic 1979 disco, from the record "Dancin & Prancin". Long intro, but when the piano begins - Disco burner!

London Aircraaft - Rocket In My Pocket



London Aircraaft is some kind of side project by brilliant Kurt Hauenstein of Supermax fame and a true pioneer on the cosmic disco scene, who unfortunately passed away just a couple of weeks ago. Actually London Aircraaft was created to get out of some record deal, and one of the few singles they released was a "version" of Love Machine. Here's a short interview with a very brief Kurt Hauenstein.
This song is quite a sleazy dub-pop anthem, my favourite moment is when the synth kicks in around the 2 minute mark.

Frank Zander - Captain Starlight


German comedian, actor and musician Frank Zander made this absurd cosmic disco track in 1979. The English version is by his alias Zazu, but it can't compete with the German version, at least not in my opinion. Listen to the great chorus with echo effects, it's cosmic.

Buari - Advice Fra Father


A perfect funky disco cut from one of the greatest African disco artists Buari.


Buari - Advice From Father

4 years after the release of Advice From Father, Bombers released their disco killer Shake in 1979, which pretty much had the exact same bass line, just a bit slowed down.

Queen Samantha - Take a Chance


A cosmic disco burner by Queen Samantha from 1979, almost acid like, with great percussions and a heavy bassline. A true classic.

Midnight Magic - Beam Me Up
























This is a summer disco track that just makes you wanna dance the night away. The piano playing is extremely groovy. Jacques Renault has made a fine up-tempo remix of the track. Here is the original.

Le Baron - Le Sifflet Du Baron


Behind the name le Baron, the genius and highly recognised French musician and organist Benard Estardy made this groovy tropical jam. Other than being a perfect whistling along song, it was also used as a radio theme.

Marbeya - Sancho





















This is some nice nu-balearic stuff from San Francisco. If you imagine that outrun was reinvented with a new soundtrack, I think this track should definitely be on it. Enjoy.
