How do i get hold of that Aquarian Dream remix? 🔥🔥🔥

The lovely lads at Midnite Riot asked me to put together a mix for them and I really couldn't say no. mainly because they'd allocated a slot on their radio show and would've been up shit creek a wee bit if I didn't deliver. This is what I came up with.

Disco Deviance Mix Show 113 - Marcel Vogel Mix

Robert was our friend, and we miss him. It's difficult to put into words just what he meant to us. He was a mentor, an inspiration. Canada’s, and more specifically Montreal’s, disco deity. We won’t burrow into his biography, as it is extensive, and footnotes would simply not do him justice. Check out the Red Bull Music Academy video interview if you want to start to journey into who he was for yourself. We made this mix just a few days after he died. It is a cathartic, vastly imperfect, and quick expedition into his music. It merely scratches the surface of who he was, musically.

We connected through a party we were playing for Pride Toronto, after we suggested that he replace the divine Nicky Siano on the bill, as Nicky had to back out at the last minute. After that party, we played together a handful of times, both in his native Montreal and in Toronto, but we really became close through afternoons spent in his home studio, sharing songs. He was more passionate about music than anyone we’d ever met. He was in his seventies, some forty years our senior, but was a big kid really, and when we were together we were contemporaries. We loved taking him out to dinner, which happened about once a month, and hearing stories of his Limelight disco days, or of his experience making house music in the nineties. Or speaking to what it was like to be a seventy-odd something still making music and djing parties. He was always working on something. Always. We were so proud to help get a few of his edits out to the world, through connections with GAMM, Basic Fingers, and Whiskey Disco. He had so much music to share, and was constantly clamouring for us to send him edits for his radio shows, a request we complied to, often and happily. 

When the world stopped with Covid, we were no longer able to make it to Montreal. We’d chat over the internet, or do video calls, but, in hindsight, we could and should have stayed better connected. When the news of his passing broke, over a stranger's shared Facebook post of all places, we were breathless and in disbelief. We called his phone, over and over again, putting our faith in the unreliability of social media, but he didn’t answer. Shortly after, a text came from his phone, from a friend of his, confirming the news. The hardest part was knowing that those dinners were over. No more advice and no more shared wisdom. The promise of another party to play together was to be left unfulfilled. We just hope that he knew how much we loved him and how important he was to us.

At BLD, we like to think we know our stuff, so we're delighted to bring you the second episode of Killer Boogie (which melted the airwaves of myhouseradio.fm)

De Gama brings back his new project with Black Light Disco for its second outing, and for this one he has brought in the supremely talented DJ, producer and all round genius, LTJ X-perience. 

De Gama will be kicking the first hour off in style - laying down the law and taking no prisoners. There’s a lot packed into this hour, with tracks from The Reflex, Paul Older, Lego Edit plus many more (including one from the main man himself, LTJ.)

And in hour 2, De Gama hands over to that main man, LTJ X-perience - aka Luca ‘LTJ’ Trevisi, aka LTJ Edits. LTJ trained as a DJ producer at the end of the 80s. Resident first at the Kinki Club in Bologna and then at the Cap Creus in Imola, he is one of the first Italian DJs to produce House music and his style weaves intricate webs of jazz grooves, Latinbossa and classic tracks from the 70s which, over time have paved the way for Acid Jazz and Rare Grooves. Tracks such as “I Don't Want This Groove To Ever End” (2012), “Ain't Nothing But A Groove” (2013), “ Don't Let The System Get You Down” (2015) and “Beggar Groove” (2017) highlight LTJ's more funk and groovy side. 

Want to hear more of LTJ's fantastic stuff? Well, head on over to his Soundcloud page here:

Aroop Roy is a producer, musician and label head, who joins the dots between electronic music and borderless organic sounds. From house, garage and techno to jazz, disco and tropical rhythms, he has enjoyed universal acclaim as a producer and DJ.

Aroop's eclectic productions have become a mainstay for DJs  across scenes and generations, with Gilles Peterson calling him 'a brilliant producer, who never fails'. In recent years, he has been high in demand as a remixer, working for both underground and major labels. 

Like his productions, his sets are full of personality and style and have earned him a reputation as a uniquely gifted DJ. In 2022, his warmup for Mr Scruff at We Out Here Festival impressed the legendary UK selector so much, that he invited him to stay on the decks to close the festival back-to-back, describing Aroop as a 'ridiculously skilled selector, musically able to move in any direction with ease'.

In 2023, Aroop is enjoying huge momentum, causing wild scenes with his sets at Fabric, Printworks, Defected Croatia, Hi Ibiza and Gilles Peterson's Worldwide and We Out Here festivals. 


An eclectic digger and tastemaker, he has recorded guest mixes for the likes of Gilles Peterson, Freerange Records,  CO-OP,  Jazz FM and BBC 6 Music's Craig Charles Funk & Soul show.


Aroop's label Vive La Musique has focussed on quality over quantity, with reissues and reworks of rare eclectic sounds from around the world from Caribbean zouk and Congolese Rumba to French jazz-fusion and South soul. All releases have been celebrated by major tastemakers across the scene with the latest offering "In the Fast Lane" receiving rave reviews for uncovering the historical connections between french virtuoso Jean-Luc Ponty and the Detroit techno movement.
