This past week Mikie Lixxx stopped by for a guest DJ set, conjuring up his impression of a Friday night FM radio program in NYC circa 1978 – programmed for the cruise. A nice taste of big NY disco cuts, slept on major label balearic burners and a couple of West Coast selections to properly rep as an S.F. native!

Be sure to peep Audio Seduction to see some of the things Mikie’s got going on around town in addition to recorded mixes and audio rips of the quality & obscure variety.

There’s a special thing happening at Le Poisson Rouge tomorrow night for all those disco heads out there. Escort, the brainchild of producers Dan Balis and Eugene Cho, will be performing a live show to celebrate their recently completed full length LP. The 17 piece disco orchestra will come together for a rare live appearance with support by LGS favored DJs Darshan Jesrani (previously on ADA), DJ Druzz (Rapture) and Prince Language (No Comprendo). Ain’t no one else doing it like this – Surely not to be missed!

A taste of Escort covering Geraldine Hunt’s Can’t Fake the Feeling back in ’08 at Southpaw:

All hands up for All Through The Night

We were fortunate to have Red Greg in the studio last week as a precursor to his appearance at Love Chant 2. He played a ton of tracks we’d never heard before including some custom pressed 10″s and a Land of Hits version of Cloud One’s “Atmosphere Strut”. Love on the Run, Monk-One & Red Greg didn’t disappoint on Saturday either. It was great to see all the familiar faces while hearing some of these tracks out on a club system!

Last week Monk-One of Names You Can Trust and Waxpoetics came by the studio for a special guest set. Fresh off a trip out west, he brought in a nice bag of records and played a few of his own edits as well. The station’s archive is still not quite working properly and we lost my opening set and the first of Monk’s tracks, but I got the rest recorded and it’s here for your enjoyment. Be sure to keep an eye out for Love Chant 2 where Monk-One will join Love On The Run and Red Greg in the basement of Von.

Love On The Run has a knack for hooking us up with unexpected guests. Last Friday he brought his friends Osita and Osore in for some sets. Osita started things off with some Nigerian records, some of which were so dusty that he had to run to the bathroom to give them a rinse before playing! Osore followed with some Jazz and Brazilian music to close out the evening. Perfect meditative songs for a rainy Friday evening and a set I will surely listen back to often. Enjoy.

Peter Reyes stopped by the program for special guest set last week. While stocked with a crate of records and a CD book full of edits in preparation for an after-hours set in Newark, Peter managed to tuck in some left-of-center treats for the program. Mike and I played a few tracks toward the end of the night before Peter closed things out with a sleaze set. Afterward, he gave us a brief lesson on the merits of Ibiza sunrise guitar solos. Can’t wait to have him back for a follow up!

Last week we were fortunate to have Chairman Mao (Gusto > Swagger) on the program for a guest set. He came through with an amazing bunch of records both old and new, closed out with some serious obscurities, and brought a good dose of in-studio banter as well. Thanks for coming through! ENJOY.

Two sets by the masterful, warped musical mind of DJ McBoing Boing! Wow, what a treat! Part one is all long players of the 12″ and LP format before the move into all 45s. Tons upon tons of tender. Another taste of McBoing Boing is available at Secret Rendezvous, where a special Valentines Day mix titled “Love Me, Love Me Not” was put up in February. PA-LENTY of self-starting selections on this recording, making for quite the trip through a beautiful collection of records. THANKS ROBBIE!

James & Porkchop flashing the signage

Lloyd cueing a Passion Production
This past week James Mulry, Porkchop and Lloydski came by to play on the program before their monthly get together at Tandem. And a super fun program it was! Before we even got down to any music, James and Porkchop were already reminiscing on skinny dipping in the East River years back. Then it moves on to some top notch records from across the disco spectrum, including a great deal of first time plays on this show. They’ve got a recording from one of their monthly nights, Particularly Random at Tandem, up at Soundcloud. Just a little taste of the expansive program of music they put together for one of our favorite nights in Brooklyn. Check ‘em out next time around! Next up this Friday is Robbie Busch a.k.a. DJ McBoing Boing! Enjoy…
