Francesco realized this exclusive remix of the legendary Blondie's 70s success.

Heart of Glass" is a song by American new wave band Blondie, written by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. Featured on the band's third studio album, Parallel Lines (1978), it was released as the album's third single in January 1979 and topped the charts in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.

Parallel Lines (UK No. 1, US No. 6, Australia No. 2) Blondie's third album, released in September 1978 was produced by Mike Chapman, delivered the biggest seller of their career, and broke into the American market, too, on the strength of the single “Heart of Glass" becoming the group's most successful effort, selling 20 million copies worldwide.

The production of "Heart of Glass" was discussed in detail by Richard Allinson and Steve Levine on the BBC Radio 2 radio program The Record Producers that was aired on May 25, 2009. As explained in the program, the production of "Heart of Glass" was built around the use of a Roland CR-78 drum machine. The CR-78 was first introduced in 1978, the same year that Parallel Lines was recorded, and the use of this device on "Heart of Glass" was, according to the program, among the earliest uses of this device in popular music. As the program explained, it was also very unusual to use a drum machine in the context of a rock band.

In December 2004 Rolling Stone ranked the song number 255 on its list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. It was ranked at number 259 when the list was updated in April 2010.

Currently, "Heart of Glass" is ranked #56 in the UK's official list of biggest selling singles of all-time with sales of 1.28 million copies. It was also voted number 19 on The Nation's Favourite No 1 Single program, broadcast in July 2012 on the British television channel ITV.

For their first outing in 2014, cult vinyl-only imprint A&R Edits return with another double header of tried-and-tested reworks that have set the floor alight for edits maestro Greg Wilson in recent months.
For instalment number five, Lee 'Peza' Perry comes to the fore, opening with a track that picks up the momentum of the current return to popular consciousness of the Northern Soul scene. A lesser known, pre-Rodgers & Edwards Sister Sledge is the subject of his affections, with 'Love Don't Go Through No Changes On Me', a track that didn't chart in the UK but was championed by the legendary UK selector Colin Curtis at the Blackpool Mecca. Unearthed once more, Peza's upfront dance floor treatment will no doubt bring this heartfelt gem to a new generation of dancers.

From the album's liner note:
<b>Elliot Rosoff (producer)</b>: “I am primarily a concert violinist and have played on records by people as diverse as Philip Glass, Deodato and LL Cool J. In the early ‘80s, I had a studio, Opal Studios and our engineer Andy Langston did a lot of R&B and disco production - our projects included a disco version of Jesse Green’s "Nice And Slow." On "Ain’t No Way," the singer was a girl called Brenda Watts – she had released a few records beforehand like "Who Needs A Love Like That" but seemed to disappear from music after Opal. I remember that we received great feedback and a lot of club play across New York.” <b>Phil Barr (writer)</b>: “During the ‘70s, Elliot was one of the few people in New York that had a 24-track studio. ‘Ain’t No Way’ had originally been written as a hard rock track - Elliot liked it and we started working on an R&B version of it which he put out on his label, Silver Cloud.”

“Making timeless music is one of my first goals,” says Belgian techno-funk visionary Fabrice Lig. His new album, Galactic Soul Odyssey is a journey through the cosmos as told through the funkiest techno you’ll probably ever hear. “I’m trying to make music respecting the idea of original techno music,” he says. “But I don’t want to reproduce music from early nineties. That period was prolific enough, and thousands of classic records were already made.”

Optimo Music Disco Plate Three - Noo - Must Be The Music 12" EP 


Sampler tracks -


A Must Be The Music
AA Heaven's Gate


Noo are Daze Dasen (aka Plastique De Reve) and Sami Liuski (aka Bangkok Impact / Putsch '79. They return with their second 12" and the third in the Optimo Music Disco Plate series.  Their first 12" was a summer of 2014 smash hit. This second double A side 12" single is built out of imaginative sampling combined with analogue machines. Phenomenally produced, modern disco epics that fully work their magic in a club setting. 

Two ten minute tracks. 

"Must Be The Music" : Absolutely guaranteed not to appeal to moody techno fucks. Epic disco-ness abounds. Features breakdance potential breakdown at around 6 minutes. Already huge with Pete Waterman.

"Heaven's Gate" : a soundtrack for evacuating the planet. Road tested on our last star trip to Sirius.


Noo - Optimo Music Disco Plate Three will be released on Optimo Music as a two track 12 in early April 2015. Distribution by Kompakt.

The Boston-bred globe trotting ambassadors of all things funky, Soul Clap, are coming in deep with a brand new single on Brooklyn's Bastard Jazz Recordings. Taken from the forthcoming Tempo Dreams Volume 3 compilation the duo has put together for the label, this 7-inch single is a taste of what's to come on the full album.

On the A-Side, Soul Clap's "So Sedated" is a chugging, synth heavy ode to the transformational powers of the dancefloor featuring druggy, understated vocals by Dayonne Rollins. As a B-Side bonus not available on the compilation, Brazilian producers Sphynx take things back with "Azul", a 1980's infected electro joint with squelching bass, echo'd out claps and cosmic keys.

"So Sedated / Azul" will be out worldwide on Feb 23rd on digital and 7" Vinyl.

Soul Clap Presents: Tempo Dreams Vol. 3 will be out March 30th worldwide on CD, Digital and 2xLP on Bastard Jazz.

Download / 7"

Sphynx - "Azul"

Outplay’s third vinyl release will be from young Mancunian artist Loz Goddard. With releases on Large Music and Editorial he has been making a great impression with his combination of disco and beatdown house. A well balanced blend between samples and synth work makes this a varied EP and a great showcase for Loz’s sound. Outplay’s own Fouk takes care of the remix, turning the lush “It Will Come To Me” into a solid dance floor track with added bass line groove.
