The Funk Assassin

Valentine’s Nu-Disco House Party 💘

Love is in the air… but tonight it’s riding a velvet bassline.

This journey opens exactly where the magic begins — with Ministry Of Funk’s ‘Gypsy Lover (Soul Mix)’, a silky, loved-up rework inspired by Crystal Waters’ iconic ‘Gypsy Woman’, instantly setting the tone for what follows: warm grooves, late-night energy and pure dancefloor romance.

From there, the mix glides through a hand-picked selection of nu-disco and soulful house gold. Brian Tappert’s rework of Kano’s ‘Can’t Hold Back (Your Loving)’ keeps things bubbling early, before the modern disco sparkle arrives via Jean Aubergine & Dave Lee’s ‘Disco Numberwang (Yuksek Remix)’.

The French touch elegance continues as Fred Falke reshapes The Whitest Boy Alive’s ‘Golden Cage’, while the soul runs deep with Lisa Shaw’s ‘I Can See It (Miguel Migs Salted Vocal Mix)’ — pure sunset-to-midnight energy.

Further into the ride, Revival House Project ft. Phebe Edwards’ ‘Think (Michael Gray Remix)’ lifts the temperature, before dancefloor royalty steps in with Jamiroquai’s ‘Canned Heat (Dimitri From Paris Remix)’ — all champagne fizz and mirrorball glow.

The closing stretch keeps the lovers locked in, with deep cuts from Never Dull, Hotmood, Babert and Ken@Work, before the mix signs off in style with Cerrone’s ‘Give Me Love (Louie Vega Remix Edit)’ — a classy, soulful finish that lands exactly where it should.

Inside the mix you’ll find:

• French touch polish
• soulful house elegance
• modern nu-disco heat
• loved-up vocal moments
• and a few cheeky bonus surprises for the heads…

Whether it’s date night, pre-drinks, kitchen disco or headphones-on escapism… this one was built for movement and mood.

Press play.
Turn it up.
Let the groove do the flirting.

If it hits the sweet spot — save it, share it, and send it to someone who needs a little disco love.

A Festive season mix for warm nights, soft lights, and anyone who believes the dancefloor can feel like a heartbeat…

This set was crafted with pure affection—for groove, for connection, for that slow-burn heat that rises when the right records meet the right moment. It opens with the velvet glow of Jessie Ware’s “Freak Me Now,” Babert’s flirtatious “I Wanna Dance Tonight,” and the soulful lift of “Back Together Again.” From there, every track becomes a touch, a look, a breath.

Purple Disco Machine’s edit of Claptone’s remix of Mylo – “Drop the Pressure” pushes the energy into a beautiful, irresistible strut—sleek, sexy, and confident. Nick Reach Up’s remix of Gadjo’s “So Many Times” wraps everything in sunlit nostalgia, the kind of groove that feels like warm hands on your waist. And then there’s Fango’s remix of Silicone Soul’s “Right On”—deep, hypnotic, intimate. A late-night whisper disguised as a rhythm.

Mixed between the magic, you’ll find the tenderness of Nile Rodgers & Emeli Sandé’s “When Someone Loves You,” and the timeless swing of Moloko & Mousse T.’s “Sing It Back”. And to close it all with love, Crazy P’s “One True Light” brings the whole journey home—glowing, soulful, and softly euphoric.

This is a mix made to hold you.
To warm you.
To move with you—body, mind, and heart.

Press play, settle in, and let the night unfold.

DISCOTHÈQUE DECADENCE PRESENTS: CHIC NU DISCO CLUB MIX (DD014)**
“Where CHIC’s mastery meets Studio 54 glamour — with sass tucked neatly in its back pocket.”

We open by celebrating the architects of the groove:
Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, and CHIC —
the heartbeat of disco, the masters of elegance, and the blueprint behind almost every iconic dancefloor moment that still matters today.

From that spark, the night slips instantly into Studio 54 glitz —
mirrorballs humming, lights glowing, sequins catching every beat.
A flipped-classics celebration built from extended edits, velvet grooves, and that unmistakable New York swagger.

Dimitri From Paris sets the tone with gleaming remasters of “Le Freak” and “I Want Your Love”, the perfect velvet curtain-raiser for a winter party in full shimmer.

Ivan Jack & Master Mike glide in with “Rapper’s Good Times,” stitching disco royalty to early hip-hop cool, before Ken@Work reshapes “Good Times” into a sleek, strut-ready roller glowing with December warmth.

The glamour peaks as Sister Sledge’s “Lost In Music” dissolves into Soulwax’s electric rework of Sylvester’s “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” — pure Studio 54 attitude: chic, confident, unstoppable.

Dimitri lights the room again with his super-disco blend of “Street Player,” followed by HP Vince & Discotron turning up the heat with a revitalised “Disco Inferno” built for late-night sparkle.

And to close the festivities…
Anita Ward’s “Ring My Bell” floats in like the final dance at a winter party wrapped in velvet, glitter, laughter, and golden light.

This is CHIC.
This is Studio 54.
This is the season — bright, warm, glamorous.

This is Discothèque Decadence: Chic Nu Disco Club Mix.

✨ Save it.
✨ Share it.
✨ Ring that bell.

What started as a casual Madchester session to nod to Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield (Stone Roses & Primal Scream) slipped fast into a full psychedelic plunge through Andrew Weatherall’s heaviest basslines, dubbed-out shadows, and Factory-coded deep cuts. A detour that became the destination — the Manchester Effect in full flight.

This mix moves through the key zones that shaped the city’s sound:
the Madchester pulse, the Haçienda haze, the crossover where indie psychedelia, rave pressure, and low-slung groove blur into one continuum.
The current that carried Manchester from rehearsal rooms to warehouse floors and into club culture’s long memory.
