The PLATES: Message In The Music’ – an astonishingly great journey through soul, disco, boogie, funk, rock, prog and post punk, all reshaped by The Architects of the Good Groove
Not just layering house beats over disco classics, but deconstructing and reconstructing, Disco Police's superbly wide-ranging taste in music has delivered a project which is jam-packed with innovation and experimentation: 
demonstrating that recycling older material can reap rich creative results. 
The Disco Police is well known for their extensive editing career where they perfected the techniques needed to maximize the dance floor dynamics of a song whilst adhering to its original spirit. 
Their version of disco house music is a rich, percussive concoction, taking in their musical traditions as well as their beloved Chicago house, and blending elements of funk soul, jazz and disco into rich rhythmic collages, all held down by adept production touches.

Platinum Hook - Girl, I'm Watching You (Pete Le Freq Refreq)

The reliable disco funksters are having fun nodding to that iconic bit of 70s underground disco dance in these deadly versions. If you like your disco house fierce and fiery but still delivered with finesse, this record is all you need.  As this project was painstakingly formed the groove never quits and keeps on pulling you in as the arrangement evolves and a steamy moods build. 

This two dirty dozen tracker of utter bangers comes to us with all the style of a low key NYC acetate found in a thrift store, driving and upbeat dancefloor disco pumpers with these grandiose chunk of delightfully over-the-top discoid hi-jinks

Rhythm over theme; keeping things vibey, felt - heavy disco-funk brilliance rearranged for maximum peak-time

Manu Dibango - New Bell (Deadeye Dick DAZZ Mix)

Some more edits, reworks and refits for misfits from the private stash. This time around four sun kissed Balearic/Adriatic/Wherever-you're-at-it jams.

Features Of Love



These words, simple as they may be, are the essence of everything. They rise up from my heart and return me to a place of stillness, of presence, of truth. They are enough.

I stand here, in the unfolding of my life, and I see how gratitude softens all edges, how it shapes each moment into something luminous. When I whisper thank you, the world reshapes itself — the struggles become teachers, the wounds become openings, and even the silence is filled with meaning.

In love, in loss, in the laughter of my children, in the quiet breath of the morning — thank you. For each meeting, for each parting, for every hand held and every tear shed. Thank you. For the questions I cannot answer, and for the mysteries that need no answer.



Section 2
We live in a world where everything asks us to hurry, to choose sides, to reduce ourselves to labels. But love, true love, is the refusal to shrink. It is the courage to stay open, to stay vast, to stay vulnerable in a world that teaches us to armor ourselves. I have learned that tenderness is a form of rebellion, and devotion is the most radical act of freedom.



Section 3
I believe in presence more than perfection. Presence is when you show up, unarmored, unedited, as you are. That is what makes intimacy possible — not the performance of being flawless, but the offering of being real. It is in our cracks, not our polish, that we recognize each other. It is where we are unfinished that love enters.



Section 4
Fundamentalism, whether in politics, religion, or even relationships, is the opposite of life. It is a narrowing. It fears ambiguity, nuance, the places where contradictions breathe. But we are not meant to be simple, we are meant to be infinite. We are both light and shadow, laughter and grief, certainty and doubt. To love is to hold all of it, without needing to resolve it into something smaller than it is.



Section 5
The more I live, the more I understand that death is not the opposite of life, but its mirror. It teaches us to stop waiting. To pour the wine, to kiss longer, to tell people what they mean to us now, not tomorrow. Mortality is not cruel; it is the teacher that reminds us of the urgency of tenderness.



Section 6
I have hit a confusing problem. I feel inside of me that I live 2 lives every day. I am a Gemini, but so is everyone. You feel 2 things every day — your physical body (food, clothes, exercise, nature, sun) — and you feed your psyche, your brain (radio, book). But most important is that it is not a choice. It is a human breath, a necessity.




Section 7
If I leave you with one truth, it is this: love is not something you find. It is something you choose, again and again, even when it is hard, even when you are tired, even when fear tells you to close. Choose love like a practice, like a prayer. That is the only way to stay free.

Michael's had a number of other well received vinyl and digital releases, both re-edits and original productions. They often, but not always, fall somewhere between Disco and House. The most recent being the 'Real Change' Ep. with Dublin DJ Bubbles, released on 'Paper Recordings' offshoot 'Paper Disco'. He now has a busy summer ahead of him with a few remixes due out, and DJ set's at most of the main Irish music festivals.
