For 15 blissful minutes, this mix lets you forget the passage of time, as the non-stop grooves blend into one intoxicatingly funky, disco haze

Bhangra Beats and Beyond

This DJ mix brings together a lively blend of retro funk, disco and Latin rhythms. The playlist kicks off with a mellow jazz-funk track before transitioning into 90s rap and hip hop. It then moves into 70s funk and disco from artists like Ohio Players, Nu Genea and Celia Cruz. The middle of the mix features Latin-infused funk and R&B from Dom Salvador and Christopher Cross. The mix culminates with disco legends like Donna Summer, Rose Royce and Earth, Wind & Fire. Whether you're looking for an energetic party starter or a soundtrack for a laid-back evening, this mix has a little bit of everything.

Funky Disco Fiesta

This mix opens with the rare, mystical funk of Letta Mbulu's 'Nomalizo,' full of sultry vocals and psychedelic guitars. It segues into the syncopated boogie bassline and hypnotic guitar licks of Kleer's 'Intimate Connection.' After mainstream and smooth soul reprieves from Mariah Carey and Sade, the legendary James Brown drops by with an iconic dose of JBs-style funk on 'Cold Sweat,' all hard-hitting horns and funky drums. For fans of funk and soul, this mix is full of 70s and 80s rhythms and tones from familiar artists and more obscure gems. Whether you're a hardcore connoisseur or just looking for a killer throwback mix, there's plenty of great music here to discover, including some real personal favorites.

Luscious Love Locating: A 70s/80s R&B Mix

This meticulously curated mix brings together discerning listeners' dance-floor dreams. Tracking the evolution of club music from post-disco to modern house, the set's adventurous song selection avoids well-worn favorites in favor of influential yet underappreciated tracks.

Opening with Tom Tom Club's ahead-of-its-time "Genius of Love," the mix swiftly progresses into slinky, synth-driven territory. Understated yet irresistible, "Try It Out" by the Italian producer Gino Soccio and "Fantastic Voyage" by Lakeside showcase the slick sound of early '80s boogie and electro-funk.

As the mix plunges into the '90s rave era, the sitar-laced banger "Around the World" signals Daft Punk's early mastery of electronic music. Cuts from more contemporary talents—including the UK garage-infused "Love You Better" by Alex Preston and the euphoric "Let Me Love You" from German duo WEISS—demonstrate the genre's continued innovation.

Culminating in a flurry of floor-fillers, the home stretch unleashes the robotic funk of Todd Terje's "Strandbar" and the inimitable "No Parking (On The Dance Floor)" by Midnight Star. This dance odyssey reaches its fever pitch with the Reggaeton stomp of "Danza Kuduro" from Don Omar and Lucenzo, leaving listeners breathless for the next journey.

The Funky Journey: A Mix Through Dance Music's History

This DJ mix dives into the moody depths of F minor, from soulful pop to psychedelic surf rock. We start with The Fuzz's heartfelt 'I Love You For All Seasons' before things get funky with Young-Holt Unlimited's 'Wah Was Man' and Chicha Libre's Peruvian cumbia 'Sonido Amazonico'.

Michael Wycoff and Ana Mazzotti bring dreamy soul and bossa nova, then Dick Dale cranks up the reverb on surf guitar classic 'Death of a Gremmie'. The party peaks with James Brown's funk opus 'Give It Up Or Turn It Loose' and Hotline's Afrobeat dancefloor-filler 'Fellas Doing It In Lagos'.

Whether you're wallowing in melancholy or dancing 'til dawn, the key of F minor delivers. This mix shows the colorful strands that emerge when producers weave together the moody tones and textures of an underrated but versatile musical key
