It has taken a lot of time, a lot of love, and a lot of favours, but I’m proud to announce the release of the latest instalment of the Downtown Disco mix series: Volume 8.

Featuring some of my favourite tracks from this year, some unreleased gems, and some old beauties. My little gift to give is some nice vibes to brighten up this dark winter Xmas 2021.

Tracks from Dr Packer, Michael Gray, The Shapeshifters, Birdee, Purple Disco Machine, David Penn, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Micky More, Andy Tee, Saison and more.

Much love,
Ian

Downtown Disco Vol.8

David Russell Lee is a British DJ, producer and Remixer Icon.

One of the first albums I ever bought on Vinyl in the 90’s was the “Can’t Get High Without You Compilation” And back then I actually thought the artist was really named Joey Negro. Not knowing then that Dave created the name using a mix of Pal Joey “Reach Up To Mars and J. Walter Negro “Shoot The Pump”. He thought at that time, the name Dave Lee was too boring against the likes of junior Vazquez, David Morales and Frankie Knuckles in the House Music Scene. 

Following the George Floyd movement in 2020 Dave Lee dropped the Joey Negro Moniker for good. 

Having such a huge Discography of music to choose from it was difficult for me to discard some amazing tracks. In the end I’ve chosen 40 tracks which mean the most and have the best memories for me, so sorry to my followers and listeners if your favourite tunes didn’t make the Final Cut.

Of course I have to say a huge thank you to Dave Lee for all his hard work, producing such incredible music for all these years. I can’t wait to hear you play live again and will look forward to all your future releases.
