My special guest this week is Miss Disco, a soulful DJ who creates edits of her favourite tracks to produce a unique sound when playing at events.

Relatively new to the live scene in Manchester she decided to make her own edits to stand out in what can be a crowded market. Now residing in London she is mainly focusing on edits and mixes until we return to some form of normality post pandemic.

She is supported by Producer Beatphreak who helps with sound production on her edits, as well as producing some of his own remixes of the tracks.

Check out her soundcloud page which is full of DJ mixes which showcase her passion and love for soulful beats and four to the floor grooves. And you can find all her magnificent edit on her bandcamp page.

Episode 79: Feel Good Friday Radio Show (special guest Miss Disco)

I’m going to get some more edits/reworks uploaded in the coming months, starting off with one I did in conjunction with Henry Greenwood, a rework that was getting a major response until the pandemic went and spoilt the party. 

Recorded by Brooklyn’s Linda Clifford for Curtis Mayfield's Curtom label and mixed by Jim Burgess, ‘Runaway Love’ was somewhat overshadowed by her Disco take on ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’, from the ‘60s Broadway musical/film, ‘Sweet Charity’. Although ‘Runaway Love’ and ‘Gypsy Lady’ were also listed when the album of the same name topped the US Disco chart, ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’ was very much the lead track. ‘Runaway Love’ however was the choice cut in the R&B realm where, having been issued as a single, it reached #3.

As big as it was in the Stateside clubs I can’t ever remember ever hearing a DJ in this country playing ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’ – it was all about ‘Runaway Love’ here, which, from the moment the LP came in on import in ’78 the specialist DJs seized upon. It could have been a UK hit, but was only issued on the flip side of ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’. Besides, it was all about the full-length 12” version, the truncated 7” compromising its wonderful flow and build. The single stalled at #50 – the fact it got as high as that was all to do with the B Side.

To my ears it’s a track that should be as familiar as Rufus & Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’, but ‘Runaway Love’ is a hidden classic far too rarely heard. This prompted me to team up with Henry Greenwood to put together a DJ friendly rework that retained the song in all its glory, whilst providing a mix in and out and adding contemporary weight to its already infectious groove. I couldn’t have wished for a better outcome, the audience response the proof in the pudding.

The third in a trio of late-‘70s reworks I’ve collaborated on with Henry, following on from Marshall Hain ‘Dancing In The City’ & El Coco ‘Mondo Disco’, which were pressed back to back on limited vinyl as part of the A&R Edits series.

JUNO REVIEW
Following outings on DeeVu, Pogo House, Plastic People Digital and Fruity Flavour - amongst others - Kindred Soul pops up on Slightly Transformed. In typical fashion, 'True Love' delivers a boundary-blurring vocal workout that happily sits at the aural intersection of Dave Lee style organic house, bumping US garage, soulful house and deep house. It's a musically rich affair, with live bass, sax, vocals and electric piano riding rolling, bongo-laden club beats. DJ Passion provides the obligatory remix, giving the track a classic disco-house feel via the addition of stirring strings, funkier bass, soaring chords and a serious of impressive musical build-ups. It's a fine remix that should appeal to all those who love the output of the Groove Culture and Z Records imprints.

Another of the Acid sketches I put together in the years prior to my DJ return(more detailed lowdown here: http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/teenage-dj-aka-greg-wilson-i), this time drawing on the groove from Oliver Cheatham’s 1983 release, ‘Get Down Saturday Night’.

My working title for it was ‘Twister’(Twist via Oliver) and, having immediately spotted its commercial possibilities, I resolved to develop it further . However, I left it on the backburner too long, my plan biting the dust good and proper when I realised that someone had well and truly beaten me to the punch - an Italo-Belgian DJ called Vito Lucente, who’d score a #1 hit in 2002 with the Room 5 single ‘Make Luv’, which also featured part of the original vocal to great effect. There was no point pursuing the ‘Twister’ idea now, so with a ‘such is life’ shrug of the shoulders I resigned it to the ‘what might have been’ file.

However, when I started deejaying again I realised the ‘Twister’ would come in handy, so I began to play it here and there. The Room 5 was too housed-up for me to consider using, not to mention the fact it had been played to death, but ‘Twister’ retained the early 80’s feel that fitted my vibe – it was a useful track to drop when you needed to give the dancefloor something familiar, but with your own twist. Subsequently, it was an obvious candidate for the ‘Teenage DJ Disco Best’ 12” EP I pressed up in 2005 – with ‘I Was A Teenage DJ Pt 1’ providing such a strong lead track, it could play an important subsidiary role, which is exactly what transpired. It was at this point it became 'Time And Place (Disco Break)', referencing some of the samples I'd dropped in.

I actually met Oliver Cheatham when ‘Get Down Saturday Night’ was released in the UK back in ’83. His record company, MCA, brought him to my night at Legend in Manchester, where he made a personal appearance, performing the single on the club’s dancefloor. Wigan Pier and Legend hosted numerous PA’s in the early 80’s, none of which we paid the acts for, their record companies footing the bill as part of their promotional budget, wanting to get their artists exposure in the most influential dance venues.Other PA’s included Gwen Guthrie, Imagination and David Joseph (it was a consequence of the David Joseph PA that I was invited to demonstrate mixing on the TV show ‘The Tube’:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77sjud0zLJY) .

Teenage DJ aka Greg Wilson 'Time And Place (Disco Break)'

We deliver you a new edit from an 1982 "Perfumed Garden", a song created by The Rah Band with heavy drum machines, funky bass line, female vocals and a beautiful cosmic boogie-synth atmosphere.

This fictitious studio group was masterminded by Richard A. Hewson, a jazz funk that worked with artists including Supertramp, Diana Ross, Carly Simon, Art Garfunkel, Leo Sayer, Al Stewart, Chris DeBurgh, Fleetwood Mac and Chris Rea.

For us this is a gem and should be played in ethereal moments.
