GE-OLOGY's exclusive mix for Rainbow Disco Club 2022 podcast:

If I had to choose one word to describe the theme of the mix, it would be TRAVELING. But conceptually, it's more about traveling in ALL its various forms...physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Two years ago, the entire world came to a standstill due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and traveling came to an abrupt stop across the planet in response. Nation after nation closed its borders throughout numerous continents, and soon everyone found themselves confined at home isolated from each other, and our loved ones. And that experience has forever changed us. That alone is another form of traveling...one of pain, difficulty and growth that takes us to new places inside ourselves, even when we're not physically flying across oceans, or gathering with our beloved family and friends (due to social distancing guidelines, quarantines and safety restrictions). But life is a constant journey, so traveling (in a sense) has been a recurring theme for me in all the creative forms of my visual and musical expression, as well as throughout my life's experiences. [Traveling = Movement = Growth = Evolving = Rebirth]. Our journeys continue to shape who we are.

So the mix begins with an introductory exchange between Zenigata Keibu and Mine Fujiko (excerpt from Lupin III) which brings forth the subject of traveling--as the Inspector is in constant yet futile pursuit of Lupin (who had already left on a trip just ahead of Inspector Zenigata's arrival). This Japanese manga series cult classic, inspired by Arsène Lupin (the gentleman thief and detective character created by French writer Maurice LeBlanc) felt like the perfect dialogue to use as the introduction for the deep and heavy mix of vinyl selections to follow. The mix features some special records from my collection, amassed from decades of diggin' around the world [Japan included], which in itself is a byproduct of many great opportunities to travel--for which I'm deeply grateful. The 2nd record I play in the mix, aptly titled "Everybody's On A Trip" by Garden of Eden (the brainchild of gifted Birmingham, Alabama musician Ken Talley), was originally released as a single with limited local success back in 1979. Largely unknown for 28 years, it would later become a highly sought-after 7-inch for DJs and record collectors after Kon and Amir's 'Off Track' series release in 2007 put it on the map. But the mix delves even deeper with a mixture of other rare and obscure records (that have now become quite expensive), private pressings, and even some cheap 'under-the-radar' HEAT that spans the late 70s and early 80s, right up to the present. With a focus towards music lovers, dancers, audiophiles and collectors alike, it builds up slowly and seamlessly into a full-fledged dance-floor experience, navigating through the worlds of jazz, funk, disco, soul, island-funk, post-punk, Brazilian and beyond. It's a celebration of the world reopening again, and finally getting the opportunity to appreciate music together and dance at Rainbow Disco Club. Enjoy!

JIMMY DISCO @Djoon Disco Basement

'The Daydream Disco Mix Series' brings you the best disco, soul, funk and house vibes from artists both established and upcoming. Each mix is made up of our guests favourites tracks of the moment. This month we are super proud to be able to bring you the absolute beast that is Moodena!

Moodena’s success over the last five years has been nothing short of prodigious. His meteoric rise to being ever present at the pinnacle of both the disco & Nu Disco charts has seen him become one of the most in demand DJ/ producers across the globe. 

Crowned Number 1 Nu Disco Artist of the Year two years in a row and a string of number 1 selling singles under his belt has also seen him become hugely sought after as a remixer with recent stand out remixes for Dave Lee on Z Records, Rhyze and John Davis, both on legendary New York label Nervous, ‘The Destroyer’ for Soul Central, and Bellaire’s ‘Sunset Ballad’.

Despite such impressive studio prowess Moodena is perhaps most at home in the DJ booth, seamlessly combining everything from Disco and US Garage to house and Techno. His ability to fully connect with the crowd have seen him play everywhere from Elrow’s Festival in Croatia to Printworks in London to Soho House in Rome and Istanbul, Curfew Festival in Belgium and Heidegluhen in Berlin, one of the globes quintessential underground tastemaker clubs. He has also toured extensively in Mexico and toured India for the first time in October 2023.  

His stand-out Moodena Presents nights has become a London staple booking legends and upstarts alike, including Dave Lee (AKA Joey Negro), The Shapeshifters, Kirollus, Young Pulse, Ray Mang, Mighty Mouse (RIP), CJ Mackintosh, Art of Tones to name a few.

Frantic Moments  (2 hours of JazzFunkFusion and then some )

(EN) JIMMY DISCO is, as his name suggests, a disco music enthusiast. But not only that. A DJ and digger since the second half of the 90s, he began his DJ career in the middle of the FRENCH TOUCH and thus quickly performed in renowned clubs such as Les Folie’s Pigalle, the Rex, the Café du Trésor, the Queen. Inspired by pure HOUSE MUSIC with soulful, garage, jazz, afro sounds, but also more raw from Chicago or Detroit, he focuses on his favorite style DISCO. Since then, he continues to “travel” with his records and his communicative energy with the public, the different Parisian and European stages such as the Sacré, La Bellevilloise, Le Badaboum, Le Djoon, Le Fréquence, Le Bambino, or even festivals like Marvellous Island. In 2024, he tried his hand at production and plans to release his first track entitled “HUG DANCE”.
