Past Boogie
1. MFSB – Love is the Message (Philadelphia Int'al)
Simply pound for pound the best disco record ever made – and has featured as the last tune at Melting Pot more than any other record.
2. The Chicago Connection – Dancin' [Mike Grant Mix](Cajual)
The first time I heard Billy play this classic house record (which samples Stephanie Mills Put Your Body in It) on the Melting Pot system it absolutely blew my head off.
3. Double Exposure – My Love is Free (Salsoul)
This tune is a big favourite with all three residents. There's nothing more enjoyable than watching the crowd groove on and on and on to this monster.
4. T-Connection – Do What You Wanna Do (T.K. Disco)
Unfortunately this became THE most played out record in clubland ever. However, we were playing it before everyone else – it's the biggest party tune and would make the kids go crazy.
5. Sexual Harrassment – I Need A Freak (Elite)
Moodymann came to play with us and dropped this quirky track. This track opened the door to a more 'Italo' sound at the club.
Future Boogie
6. Syclops – Where's Jason's K? (DFA)
Maurice Fulton finally appears again as Syclops, with less of a live feel than previous releases, this wobbles and swirls in just the right places, with a fabulous electronic bass that drives the track along.
7. Discodeine – Ring Mutilation (D*i*r*t*y Records)
A hypnotic dancefloor bomb from Pilooski, with modulating synth lines and a freaky siren that builds and builds.
8. Only Fools & Horses – Spectacle Wins (Permanent Vacation)
Features live bass and loose arrangement that grooves along harking back to the post punk early 80s, but marrying it with a 08 production.
9. Goldfrapp – A & E [Hercules and Love Affair remix] (Mute)
Hercules and Love Affair's assault on 2008 kicks off with this haunting slowmo remix that takes the house sound back to its roots and is all the better for it.
10. Various Artists – Barna Vs Porto EP (Ocsid Music)
An interesting 4 track of edits out of Portugal. Every one is a winner, from Gino Soccio's boogie classic Try it Out, to the hip-disco of And You Don't Stop.
