This episode felt good! Me and the new Pioneer set up are seeing eye to eye now, and we spent the first hour mixing up some sweet music together. Kicking off with my brand new track that’s just come out on Discoholics Anonymous Recordings, then keeping things around the 100bpm mark for the first bit of the show, ramping things up, slowing things back down, usual business. Alongside some disco, some funk, some house and some strangeness I also played something else brand new from me, that’ll be out on Hot Gorilla Records early next year. 

I’m so excited about the guest for this episode - it’s my honour and pleasure to welcome Mark Christopher, AKA Goz. Mark’s show Spin City was a major gateway for me into the beautiful music scene that I now find myself in, and a major factor in me deciding to start this show. Spin City’s chatroom was one of the places that the Disco Walton’s first started bonding over a shared love of the amazing tunes laid down by Goz and his perfectly chosen guests. Spin City remains a hugely important show to me, and Mark has built something truly special. Although I’ve yet to meet him in person (almost did this weekend, but life got in the way), I regard him as a friend, and he exudes warmth, supportiveness and positivity. So happy to welcome him on! 

Goz’s set is disco all the way, filled with joyous sounds to lift you up on a cold November day. Check it out, show Goz some love… and if you don’t know about Spin City you’ve got over 400 hours to catch up on - so get to it!

"Shake Your Body Down' is my new original single, coming in 2 different versions :

• the 'Disco mix' is the main one, produced with a strong 1982 boogie influence, a slight afro feel and a bouncy Prophet bass leading the whole track

• the 'Beat Street mix', is a tribute to the Electro-Funk era, made for the dancers (I was one), vocoders and long synths with LFOs etc... 1984 vibe !

Released on Funky French League, 2024
Enjoy <3

SWEET PARADISE

ANE!

The core members of Australian dance/electronica/experimental outfit Deepface, Producer/Songwriter Chris Corby, Composer Fran Power and Vocalist Shirley Davis have had what can only be described as a dream start to their musical careers. One EP, one smash hit, airplay around the nation, and of course there is the small matter of an ARIA nomination in their first year in the musical spotlight. The challenge now facing Deepface is to back up their initial success with more high quality, consistent musical releases. Their ARIA nominated debut EP Been Good was a runaway hit, far exceeding the expectations of even the group itself; and on the strength of this they returned to the studio to start intensive work on their debut album. The fruits of all the hard work are finally ripe for the picking with the lead single off the album ready for release. I Want To Live is a slice of pop heaven. Once again featuring the distinctive sultry vocal of Shirley Davis, it is the perfect follow up to Been Good, and the ideal entrée to the full-length album to follow a little later in the year. The Deepface team called in dance guru Andy Page to mix the single and ultimately the album. Andy has been internationally recognised for his production work with such heavy hitters as ARIA award winners Infusion and Melbourne act NuBreed. In the UK he has worked with DJ legend Sasha and is currently working on the new Hybrid record. As a teaser for the album I Want To Live completely sets the mood. Davis' vocal is so distinctive and appealing while the beats immediately establish a great groove. The whole Deepface team take great pride in polishing every note. There is a swell of support growing for Deepface that is almost impossible not to get swept up in. They have the look, they have the sound, they have the talent, and it would appear now that they also have the consistency to make it big.
