I recorded this episode live at the end of one of the hottest days of all time here in London, so it only seemed right to start off with some sultry summer bubblers. Instead of the usual jumping around the BPMs i started very slowly and worked my way up steadily, so we went from a smooth and hazy chug to something a bit more lively by the end of the hour. Bit less heavy on the promos this time as I was focussing on summery tracks, plus some stuff I actually paid for recently. It was a really fun mix that ended up flowing pretty well, despite me almost melting whilst standing at the decks. Us Brits aren’t built for this heat! 

For the second hour I was very excited to hand over to one of my favourite DJs, Briak from France. Every mix I’ve heard from Briak has been a masterclass in track selection and mixing, and this one’s no different. There are no fewer than 24 brilliant tracks crammed into this hour long mix, with global and afro inspired rhythms, many shades of disco, some housier stuff, all blended together perfectly into one sublime journey. It’s such a good mix, honestly one of my favourites so far on the show. 

Briak is also a very talented producer and a very nice man! Make sure check out his Soundcloud and show him some considerable love -

Episode 105: Feel Good Friday Radio Show (Greg Middleton And Lup Ino)

Black Light Disco returned to the Myhouseradio.fm airwaves with a show that’s literally baking in its own juices! It’s been hot out there, folks and we have a real late summer vibe to chill your mind and cool your beans.

Hosting the show this week is our resident Esteban, who has been trawling the music library here in BLD Towers for mid-tempo delights which smell of late August haze and beer gardens. Lined up are tracks from The Magic Track, Phonk D, Jisco Dazz, Kristoff MX, Never Dull and Cuz Electric / Rough Diamond. 

Our very special guest this week enjoys that rare ‘legendary’ status as a producer and DJ - the one and only Oldchap! 

Hailing from France, Oldchap has been a staple of the disco and edits scene over the last 6 years. The guy is a ‘crate digger extraordinaire’ (which we of course love) and his mantra of always playing the right track at the right time is something we can all get on board with too. As a producer, Oldchap has an impressive list of labels under his belt including Spa In Disco, Hot Digits, Slightly Transformed, Sundries Digital and Spin Cat music. We’re delighted to welcome him for his BLD debut and know you’re going to be blown away by this.

Hot To The Touch 020922 with Ezirk & Mauro Vecchi on Prime Radio

For this episode I focussed purely on stuff I’ve bought or been given in the last couple of weeks… i dunno, maybe I was feeling too lazy to switch to a different folder or something. Anyway, that’s not to say it was all brand new music, there were a couple of oldies in amongst the promos and various new and new-ish gems that have recently been added to my collection. 

For hour 2 I handed over the controls to JayLee, a DJ, radio host and all round lovely guy who I had the pleasure of finally meeting a few months back. Jay has kindly played my stuff a few times on his shows, and he even squeezed one of my tracks into his guest mix alongside some choice, classy disco cuts. Things build nicely throughout the mix to take us on a nice little journey. Big thanks to Jay for a lovely mix, and give him a follow on Soundcloud if you please - https://soundcloud.com/jaylee_dj

Episode 120: Feel Good Friday Radio Show (Greg Middleton and Ben Jamin)

This is part of my 20 year portfolio (under aliases) of live mixes (including vinyl) to make the classics live again!..my music style comes from blending sounds that normally wouldn’t live in the same space or time - I love taking familiar groove tracks and reimagining them with new energy, whether that’s through creative sampling, unexpected transitions, or layering vocals over completely different instrumentals - see my track list here: https://soundcloud.com/ch_risk_1   I hope you enjoy the vibes and please share it across all generations, so everyone can join in the New Groove! 🎶
