Brand New on Groove Cycle is the amazing track Magic Touch from Don Disko.

Don Disko's signature sound fuses nostalgic vibes with contemporary flair, delivering tracks that move both the body and the soul.

'Magic Touch', is a euphoric blend of disco, house, and classic infectious French touch influences. 
Inspired by timeless anthems like 'Thunder in My Heart Again' by Meck & Leo Sayer and Stardust's 'Music Sounds Better With You,' the track fuses infectious grooves, shimmering synths, and feel-good energy into a modern dancefloor classic.

Early support from the likes of Sam Divine (Defected), Christian Homan (RTE Radio), Michael Mayer and Paul Wilkins (Hed Kandi) to name a few.

Magic Touch will be available everywhere from June 13 2025.

Raw Silk 'Do It To The Music' (greg wilson edit)

114bpm

Never previously shared

I know there are quite a few edits of ‘Do It To The Music’ knocking about, a couple of which I’ve played out myself (Frico & Kid Color), but here’s the one I put together back in 2006 that’s popped up in a couple of my mixes, just a ruff from the vinyl incorporating both the main vocal mix and the dub, with no added elements. I only ever intended it to be for my own personal use, rather than something I considered pressing up (otherwise I’d have tried to get hold of a slightly cleaner copy to work from). The reason I’d discounted it for inclusion on a limited run 12” was because I’d thought about the track as a potential candidate for the first Credit To The Edit album the previous year, but I’d already used the acappella from the beginning of the dub over DMX Krew’s ‘Who Got The Funk’, the combination becoming Raw DMX ‘Do It To The Funk’ – the first track I played on my DJ comeback at Music Is Better (see: http://www.gregwilson.co.uk/2011/09/music-is-better-re-edited-highlights), and subsequently a key C2theE track. I figured an additional Raw Silk edit would be overkill, so the idea was shelved. But now we’re at a different point in time and I’m sharing edits here on SoundCloud, so here it is.

Mixed by Nick Martinelli & David Todd and released in the US on Mel Cheren’s West End label, ‘Do It To The Music’ was picked up on import by specialist DJ's in the UK, but following its release here on KR it’d crossover to the more mainstream clubs, and eventually enter the Top 20 of the charts here. West End was the source for so many classic underground cuts during my time at Legend and Wigan Pier (Peech Boys, Brenda Taylor, Stone, Shirley Lites, Barbara Mason, Forrrce, DJ Divine etc), and it was right up there with the likes of Prelude and Tommy Boy and as one of the most essential labels of the era as far as the black scene here in the UK was concerned.

So, without further adieu; no time for criticising, music's hypnotising, everybody's temperature's rising, so get down.

I'll never forget my most memorable party experience of all time.  It happened at David Mancuso's Loft @ 99 Prince Street in NYC.  I was hoofin it downstairs about 5:30 AM when a fire broke out.  No one panicked. No one actually wanted to leave, but cooler heads prevailed & we got the fawk outta there.  And like the typical stubborn NY night-breakers that we were, we hung outside the building while New York's Bravest came and knocked down the blaze.  If you were there, I know you weren't entertaining thoughts of going home yet.  Neither was I, so we just sat up on top of the big red FDNY trucks and waited til they reopened David's loft and let us back in to wrap the party up.  One problem, they weren't going to do that!  It WAS A WRAP ALREADY.  But no one went home anyway.  

THAT is the spirit I wanted to capture, so I dropped these tracks just to remind myself of those crazy, happy, sick, dont-give-a-fuck times that you cant relive, but won't ever forget.  I hope these tunes bring back some positivity to those who relish fun, dancing and partying together as a family.
