Dog Day Disco



I've been cleaning out the ol' record bin recently, searching for summer music with the thought that a good playlist should be energetic, but not too uptempo that you loose steam dancing in summer's heat. Considering heatstroke and fatigue are usually a bad look, I felt compelled to cool things off with a refreshing selection of blissfully sluggish, off-disco gems. Inspiration came from many places, but special thanks should go to The Growning Bin for turning me onto Fata Morgana, which has become a new summer standard, and to Jaz for consistently supplying the choicest edits. Oh, I guess while I'm giving shout outs, this also goes out to Mr Donson, fellow arawainian, who's having a summer to remember!!! Let the sun shine in Sean!!!

Congratulations, Adrian Gurvitz - Borrowed Beauty is a find! Your italo mixes are great, but getting slow is a great idea, too. Thanks-)
