Bosq is back on this sunshine in a bottle kinda deal. 

In the rhythmic realm where Afro Funk and Disco engage in a spirited dance, "Meji Meji" holds its ground with an enchanting blend of elements. 

It's a sonic journey where the resonance of bubbling organs and Rhodes stabs interlaces seamlessly with a grand horn section, a symphony of layered percussion, and the soulful chants emanating from the seasoned voice of ex-Egypt 80 member, Kaleta.

Enter Folamour's rendition, a transformative metamorphosis that elevates the latent house groove to the forefront of the musical stage. Here, the dance floor becomes a pulsating canvas painted with a rhythmic palette. 
The heartbeat is a relentless kick, the foundation a profound bass line that anchors the melody, while funky synthetic horn lines engage in a spirited dialogue with the vibrant, live horn section. 

It's a musical discourse that transcends boundaries, carrying an infectious groove, a potent symphony of beats and melodies that bewitches the soul and commands the dance floor's undivided attention.

FREE DOWNLOAD: George Benson - Windsong (A-Sirr's Groovy Summer Mix) [Discoholics Anonymous]
 
There’s a moment in George Benson’s Weekend in L.A. where time does something strange. The noise softens, the crowd fades, and Windsong drifts in — slow, suspended, like memory waking up from a long sleep. You hear it, and it’s not just music anymore. It’s the space between two lives, or maybe the echo of one that never got lived at all.

Benson doesn’t try to impress here. That’s not the point. Windsong, written by Neil Larsen, is restraint with a pulse, a meditation disguised as melody. His guitar doesn’t speak in declarations — it murmurs, it leans in close, it touches something small and private. Something you forgot you still carried.

This wasn’t a song built for charts or cheers. It was built for those who know how grief and grace can look alike in the right light. The performance — captured live at The Roxy in ’77 — plays like Benson is speaking to a room that isn’t there. Or maybe it was never about the room. Maybe it was about silence — and how a guitar can fill it without ever breaking it.

Some songs try to change the world. Windsong doesn’t. It just reminds you that you’re still in it — still moving, still listening, still here. And sometimes, that’s enough.

Here the luminous A-Sirr (Too Slow To Disco, Disco Balls) ties it all up and elevates it into 2025 with a firm grip on its very essence, as well as making sure it'll work like a charm on a modern dance floor.

Pavel, aka Paul DaSoul, did this incredible edit that graced Discoholics Anonymous 5.
I hope dig it as much as I do!
In the sultry haze of 1980, as disco was gasping its final breaths in America, something different was emerging in the UK underground — a kind of raw, funk-infused resilience. Mirage, a lesser-known but deeply resonant band, carved out one of those moments with “Summer Grooves.” Released under Flamingo Records, the track didn’t make waves in the mainstream — but that wasn’t the point. It was a signal, a pulse, from the heart of what would later be recognized as Brit funk: a working-class response to slick American R&B, with all the imperfections and urgency that made it real.
“Summer Grooves” doesn’t just play; it radiates — equal parts sweat and sunlight, groove and grit. The song became a cult relic, unearthed and revived decades later by selectors like Joey Negro in compilations like Backstreet Brit Funk, not out of nostalgia, but because certain sounds don’t age — they echo.
In a scene where many tracks faded into obscurity, this one stayed — sampled, remembered, and spun again by those who knew where the soul lived.

Cameo - Back and Forth (Belohnungszentrum Remix)

There’s something raw and restless about the groove on Da Lukas & Di Martino's Butter Track, a cut that moves like it was built in the after-hours but destined for the prime-time floors. Italian producer Da Lukas reconstructs the sound of analog Disco sound, piece by piece, pressing the weight of history and fusing it with everything essential for future dance floors.

At its heart, Butter Track is a hypnotic ride, dripping with a silky jazz-funk elasticity that calls to mind the great sessions of the late ’70s. Giovanni Di Martino’s piano work dances across the top with casual brilliance, teasing out rhythms that ripple through the arrangement. There’s a looseness here, but it’s intentional - each element breathing in step, locked into a slow-burning, funk-fueled conversation.

This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a reclamation. A late-night, neon-lit cruise through the sounds that made the underground shimmer.

'In Motion', the EP, is a testament to Da Lukas' pioneering spirit in the Nu Disco scene, With an impressive track record including multiple No.1 hits on Traxsource's Nu Disco / Indie Dance charts and Soul Funk Disco Top 100, Da Lukas continues to push boundaries.

They came up from Portsmouth—Nick and Darren Mears—two brothers wired on groove and grit. Since 2007, Da Funk Junkies have been churning out house cuts soaked in disco sweat and funked-up swagger. You don’t just hear their tracks—you feel them push. Basslines thump. Guitars jab. Every beat sounds like it knows the dancefloor.

Their name’s now stitched into the fabric of the Jackin’ House scene. With releases on Groove Culture, Spacedisco, and their own DFJ Recordings, they’ve clocked No. 1s and burned up the Traxsource charts. In 2024, they hit #236 in the Top 500. No signs of fatigue.

Whatcha Do grabs your attention like a demanding mistress, spins it, and throws it into the heat of a dancefloor reverie. It’s where disco’s velvet pulse meets house music’s driving soul, glazed with a jackin’ house shimmer that lifts it skyward. A funk-infused male vocal cuts through like streetlight on wet pavement. It’s like a jolt, a swagger, a groove with something to prove.

Half a year back, Jeff Haze came through and left the floor aching for more. Now he’s back, this time riding under the banner of Spiritualized Music, with a house cut that feels born of both fever and faith.

A piano breaks the air open, old school and unrepentant, while Haze preaches over the groove like a man who’s seen what waits beyond the lights — and decided to bring it back in the language of the divine.

PREMIERE: Jeff Haze - Freedom [Spiritualized]

Sometimes, music isn’t written — it’s remembered. That’s how it felt when Prep, those slick London craftsmen with hearts tuned to analog soul and satin-soft FM radio, found themselves in a studio with Eddie Chacon, the survivor saint of slow jams and sweet ruin. The match was no accident. After hearing Holy Hell, Prep felt the pull — something spiritual, something shared.

They met in L.A., threw rhythm into the room like dice, and in a single afternoon — no tension, no ego — Call It happened. Synths hummed. A sitar buzzed gently. And somewhere inside that moment, past and present stopped arguing.

The result? A track that’s part Georgy Porgy, part always was.

Add to that: Turbotito, one of L.A.’s quiet conjurors, stepping in for a remix smoother than blended velvet. As you’ve already gathered, we’re in for something rare and unique with The Sunset Manifesto.

I’ve zoomed in for the upcoming release of The Sunset Manifesto 2 which you can be sure to catch here as soon as more is out.

Don't Be Fooled (Original Version) [Discoholics Anonymous]

Heritage Listed's Feelin It EP came together in a strange stretch of time—somewhere between leaving Barcelona and trying to build a new rhythm in Amsterdam. 
It’s five tracks that capture what it feels like when your life shifts under your feet: the confusion, the small victories, the nights that leave you staring at the ceiling. There’s house and disco here, sure—but at its core, this is a record about growing up a little more than you planned to.

The heartbeat of it all is By The Fire. With a chorus that will instantly have you flailing your hands like you were in a Mississippi church Sunday morning, it's got it all: gorgeous improvisations on the Rhodes, a soulful vocal and a thumpin' groove that leans into the tradition of a full-blooded House track. 

Heritage Listed sure got my attention!

Hot To The Touch Episode 261

Gabriel Deb is a Brazilian-born sonic architect now stationed in the sweltering neon of Dubai. A DJ, producer, and songwriter by trade—but something closer to a time-traveling soul technician in practice. Taking inspiration from legends like Kerri Chandler, Mousse T, or Jamiroquai he siphons their spirit, boils it down, and injects it straight into the bloodstream of modern House. This is not revival. This is reincarnation with better EQ.

His name’s been etched onto the catalogs of revered imprints like Groove Culture and The Disco Express, with his collaborations with powerhouse vocalists—Michelle Weeks, Lee Wilson, Jessie Wagner. Tracks like “Gotta Let Me Go,” “The Pain,” and “After Dawn” carved grooves into dancefloors from Milan to Miami.

In the gilded air of Dubai’s elite night sanctuaries—Cloud 22, Amazonico, SAL—Deb presides like a benevolent high priest of House. His “Sunny Galaxy” radio show beams that same radiant ethos outward, carrying gospel grooves and velvet basslines into the homes of the faithful.

And now, here, on “Turn Around,” Deb lays it all out. Analog warmth. Jazz-laced muscle. A groove so righteous it ought to be illegal in certain jurisdictions. And right there with him, riding the hurricane with grace and fire, is Michelle Weeks—a singer who doesn’t just deliver lyrics, she brands them onto your soul. Her voice is both anchor and ignition. When she commands “Turn around”, it’s not a suggestion. It’s a benediction. A challenge. A warning.

This isn’t just house—it’s house with bones, blood, and a deep ancestral memory. It sidles up with charm, buys you a drink, then tears the roof off the joint with divine purpose. You don’t just dance to it. You testify.

Franklyn's 1987 rare cut "Future Love" gets hurled through a psychedelic meat grinder. Rico retools the soft-soul croon into a feral burst of FX-soaked boogie chaos: synths snapping like power lines in the rain, basslines sweating out sex and ozone. It’s P-funk on poppers — romantic, deranged, and gloriously unhinged.
