Funk Soul Classics Part 3

80s Boogie Disco Classics

💋 DD004 — 80s CLASSICS: REMIXED
A Discothèque Decadence special by The Funk Assassin

Slip into something synthetic, spray your perfume a little lower, and turn the lights to mirrorball. This mix is for the sensualists, the strutters, the sirens — and the ones who don’t wait to be asked twice.

We open with “Nasty Girl” (Da Lukas Extended) — because of course we do. If Vanity 6 taught us anything, it’s that bad girls finish first. From Gwen McCrae’s “Doin’ It” (Joey Negro Reprise) to Jocelyn Brown’s divine “I Like It Like That”, this hour glows with groove, hips, and heavy breathing.

There’s smooth operators and cosmic dub boogies. There’s holy words whispered over silk synths and hooked-on-you fantasies with Cerrone and Jocelyn at their fiercest.

By the time Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Steve Angello Edit) lands, you’ll be dripping in synth sweat and asking who’s coming over — or coming back for more.

💄 No guilt. No apologies. Just velvet rhythms and heat you don’t need a partner for.
👠 Press play. Slide in. Let it play all over you.

🔊 Stream it. Crave it. Own it. Only on SoundCloud + YouTube.

80s Classics Remixed - Discothèque Decadence DD004

Step inside a world wrapped in velvet. 

🎚️ DISCOTHÈQUE DECADENCE PRESENTS: STUDIO 54 FLIPPED (DD005)
“Turning the sound of Studio 54 on its head…”

This isn’t your typical disco revival. This is Studio 54 flipped — a glitterball-splashed rework of dancefloor royalty, rebuilt with house heat, nu-disco flair, and edit culture energy.

We kick things off with a killer mashup that fuses “Rapper’s Delight” with CHIC’s “Good Times”, courtesy of Ivan Jack & Master Mike — a nod to the birth of hip-hop and disco’s golden groove in one seamless jam.
Then Ken@Work steps up with a slick remix of “Good Times”, reshaping a classic into a strut-ready roller.
The fire continues with Purple Disco Machine, Benjamin Ingrosso & Nile Rodgers on the outrageously funky “Honey Boy (Extended Version)”.
We roll into Kylie Minogue’s “Tension”, given a shimmering electro-glam remix by Chromeo, and a twilight anthem in Shakedown’s “At Night” (Purple Disco Machine Extended Remix).
Also packed in the crate is a bouncing remix of Kool & The Gang’s “Fresh” from HP Vince, bringing neon-tinted boogie to the dancefloor revival.

We round things off with a high-voltage twist on CHIC’s “Freak Out”, with Pitbull and Nile Rodgers closing the party in full hands-up style.

And that’s not all — this mix is stacked with edits and grooves from the likes of Nathalie Duchene & Yuksek, CHMI, Michael Gray & LaMay, Javier Penna, DiscoRocks, Ladies On Mars, Sammy Deuce, and the ever-slick Crazy P.

Modern disco. Golden soul. All attitude.
This is Discothèque Decadence: Studio 54 Flipped.

👠✨ Save it. Share it. Freak out.

Nu Disco Club Mix - Discothèque Decadence DD005

Step inside the velvet-lit world of Discothèque Decadence — where the champagne flows, the bassline smoulders, and the dancefloor becomes an irresistible spell.

This set drips with the kind of late-night heat that keeps bodies moving and eyes locked. From Da Lukas & Majuri’s extended temptation of “Nasty Girl”, to a hypnotic reimagining of Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams” via Steve Angello, to my own Out of Control edit of Laura Branigan’s “Self Control” — every track here has been polished for maximum seduction.

You’ll glide through Sade’s “Paradise” given fresh life by Mark Lower & Alexandra Prince, a honeyed spin on A Taste of Honey’s “Boogie Oogie Oogie”, the shimmering disco mischief of KC & The Sunshine Band in an Eric Kipper extended ride, and Kool & The Gang’s “Fresh” reinvented with OnDaMike’s club-ready punch. Along the way, Séamus Haji & Kathy Brown, Ken@Work, Shabi, HP Vince, Groovemasta, Chewy Rubs, Eugenio Fico & Walterino, Micky More & Andy Tee, Greg Wilson and more deliver heaters you think you know… until they arrive dressed for midnight.

Warm. Sexy. Sultry. Dangerous.
The sound of a dancefloor you never want to leave.

Press play… and don’t say I didn’t warn you.
