Where Do We Go?

Is it the voices in your head
Keeping you in bed
Run me off the road again
You’re leaving me for dead
With every word you keep unsaid
I throw my cards on the table
I mean what did you expect
I said I was able

But it’s no easier to be alone
I want you here, I needed you to (know)
No it don’t go the way that we planned it
But who the hell cares? Why does it matter?
The way we appear is not up to
All of the fears that they share
It all becomes clear that
Through all uncertainty 
I’d rather be

Is it the choices that you’ve left
Dripping in regret
Check the mirror's reflection
But don’t recognize yourself
With every version you present 
It’s so far off away from 
Your original intent
But still you were able

But it’s no easier to be alone
I want you here, I needed you to (know)
No it don’t go the way that we planned it
But who the hell cares? Why does it matter?
The way we appear is not up to
All of the fears that they share
It all becomes clear that
Through all uncertainty 
I’d rather be

Look me in the eyes
And tell me this ain’t paradise
When you hold me at your side
I feel like there are no lies

But it’s no easier to be alone
I want you here, I needed you to (know)
No it don’t go the way that we planned it
But who the hell cares? Why does it matter?
The way we appear is not up to
All of the fears that they share
It all becomes clear that
Through all uncertainty 
I’d rather be

LYRICS:
You’re going to feel the same with or without me
And you’ll never say the words that I want to hear
But I’m not too worried about it now

Cause I’m turning the corner, stronger than ever
And I know you don’t believe in love
But I’m keeping my head clear
I will love again, love again

Can I be like you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you?
Will I be like you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you?

Now we're caught in the heart of a lie
Yeah, we're  caught in the heart of a lie
And we’re falling apart 

Selfish, I admit to trying to change you
And you’re taking parts of me that you want to feel
But that’ll only bring us down

Can I be like you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you?
Will I be like you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you?

Now we're caught in the heart of a lie
Yeah, we're  caught in the heart of a lie
And we’re falling apart  
But you can’t have my, my love, my, my, my love
Ma-ma-ma my, my love, my, my, my love
I give you my, my love, my, my, my love
Ma-ma-ma my, my love, my, my, my love

You’ll never get all from him that you had with me
And you’ll never feel how my lovin' could set you free
Believe it, I’ll see you again
I hope you find what you look for

Now we're caught in the heart of a lie
Yeah, we're  caught in the heart of a lie
And we’re falling apart  
But you can’t have my, my love, my, my, my love
Ma-ma-ma my, my love, my, my, my love
I give you my, my love, my, my, my love
Ma-ma-ma my, my love, my, my, my love

Make me dance, incoming on @thediscoexpress, was written by a mysterious French ghostwriter under the moniker of Magnolia. The name belies the sheer disco house power contained within as this EP has already be championed by a host of DJ including Fatboy Slim, Defected, Demjua, Danny Howard, Elliot Adamson, Theo Kottis, Sophie Lloyd, Austin Ato, Andy Buchan, The Menendez Brothers and Midnight Riot.

The EP features two original tracks Make me dance and fantasies as well as remixes from Bustin' Loose and Bubs respectively.

Our premier today is the original mix of Fantasies and it's packed full of summer feel good disco vibes with French duo Louisett delivering a vocal which simply exudes joy, something we all need a fix of right now.

Last of the wine

Last Of The Wine

Sounding simultaneously from the past, the present, and the future, the debut album 'MLDE' by Marxist Love Disco Ensemble seeks to eradicate both the trite from disco and the sobriety from political music. Half poetic, half tongue-in-cheek, this stunning compact eight-track album is influenced by Eastern European and Mediterranean 70s disco records. In the words of band member Paolo, ''it was written in response to hearing 'I love America' by Patrick Juvet. The song prompted the question: why does disco, a genre originally created by oppressed minorities, eventually become synonymous with Western capitalist excess?" MLDE seeks to break this connection.

Merging disco, post-disco 80s pop, and boogie into the fold, 'MLDE' was recorded using only analogue instruments, giving it warmth and space. Recorded on cassette, ½ inch tape, this gives moments of lo-fi abstraction between the beats of an aggressive, tight drum kit. Instruments used for this recording range from saxophone, trumpet, harpsichord, guitar, and rare analogue synthesisers. The bass sound is shaped by early 80s boogie records, whilst the influence of artists such as Hamlet Minassian can be heard in some of MLDE's more driving-disco outings, such as 'Hues of Red'. In the tradition of Soviet vocal group records, which the band has studied, some songs are sung by a vocal quartet in homage to this tradition. 

Tracks such as '1905' and 'Brumaire' have a greater pop aesthetic, with Paolo's vocal style on these more pop-driven songs evoking early 80s bands such as Orange Juice and Chas Jankel. 

The format and message of pop and disco are commonly viewed just to entertain and move bodies around a dancefloor; however, lyrically, the subjects range from dialectical and historical materialism, class struggle, Marxist theory and praxis, as well as the concept of Marxist disco music. 

Adding the icing to the cake, mastering don Joker aka Liam McLean dusted the album with his magic, giving the songs space where the room is needed, as well as the kick and punch demanded by the modern dancefloor.

REC 017 w/ Philippa Pacho

The REC series compiles outstanding performances recorded in the club throughout the year, highlighting artists representing our love for electronic music.

A look back at Philippa Pacho’s profound performance in our Room 01 at the positivesource showcase, which she co-founded hand in hand with Blue Hour. The Stockholm-born artist delivered a knife-edged vision to techno during a two-hour memorable set at her imprint night in Fuse.
 
Like a gentle hold, Philippa's narration is as tactile as poignant. Dark without being obscure, musing yet energetic, no one can doubt the decade of musicality that has flowed through her veins ever since. Drawn to sharp kicks or a few clipped vocals here and there, Philippa Pacho's mix is an invitation, or even more an exploration, to a complex and appealing inner world. A stand-out.

Youmans is a pop artist, songwriter, and cinematic world-builder whose music turns longing into mythology.
Born in Santa Cruz and based in Los Angeles, his work blends funk-pop, deep house, folk, and soul into emotionally charged, visually driven storytelling. For the dreamers. For the soft-hearted. For anyone still searching for something they can’t name but know they’ll feel.

His debut EP Electric Love Connection is more than a collection of songs, it’s a universe. A shimmering, memory-soaked love letter to grief, glamour, queerness, and becoming. Praised for its lush harmonies, fashion-forward visuals, and mythic emotionality, the project earned him the West Hollywood Artist Grant in 2024.

In 2025, his breakout single DANSE was featured in Poker Face (Peacock, Season 2, Episode 11), starring Natasha Lyonne. The EP’s fan favorite Too Close blends funky pulsing synths with raw vulnerability, while Summer Love closes the project with a soaring, harmony-rich tribute to grief and connection.

A lifelong performer, Youmans began guitar at age 5, studied music at UC Berkeley, and earned the prestigious Eisner Prize for exceptional creative achievement. But his true artistry was forged not in institutions, but in feeling, writing through heartbreak, healing through sound, and building an emotional world that others could live inside.

Today, Youmans leads a growing global fanbase known as the Electric Dreamers, drawn to his softness, sincerity, and magnetic presence. His immersive universe includes the Electric Love Lounge (TikTok livestreams and Discord), and Club Electric (live shows), where music becomes ritual and connection becomes culture.

This isn’t just pop. This is the deeper dream. And it’s only just beginning.
