Skool of Rock!

And just for all those who missed it first time round, a year and a bit ago, here’s the Skool of Rock mix for you again – featuring treats from the likes of Queen, David Bowie, Kiss, ZZ Top and more, it’s over an hour of crashing power-chords and driving disco rhythms. Enjoy!

ROACH 1 “Barbarians” Mix

Roach 1 used to be found behind the counter in some of Glasgow’s finer record emporiums…back in the days when people used to frequent their vinyl outlets as much as they do eBay and Juno now.

When not schooling the local youth on which Top Of The Pops and James Last records contain break beats, he can be found tinkering with his band Gael Force or finding records to sell to people who like to splash out.

He’s also helped license dusty classics such as the steel drum version of Gary Numan’s Cars on Paul & Michael Hunter’s Red Hook label and more recently Ralph Lundsten’s proto hip hop classic Horrorscope…I think he even played triangle on the Phonojack cover version! Anyway, this is a mix he gave to James Pole 2 years ago and it’s so good we thought we’d put it up on here…a whole mix of stuff, from rare prog to Gainsbourg, Bollywood to heavy funk 45’s….enjoy!

Trippy Disco “6AM Eternal” Mix

This week Discopia’s main man Niall O’Conghaile brings you the latest installment in the ongoing adventures of TRIPPY DISCO, his production pseudonym and general state of mind. Taking inspiration from the twisted sounds of Cosmic Disco, but bringing it up to date with his own particular psychedelic and funky twists, this is the “6AM Eternal” Mix!

Featuring the likes of Six Cups of Rebel, the Wighnomy Brothers, Kelley Polar and the Idjut Boys alongside evergreens from Tangerine Dream, Visage, The Real Thing and Laurie Anderson, this is a diverse mix that will keep you going in the wee small hours of the morning…

Niall says he may put up the tracklisting for this mix, but only if you behave yourselves!

But anyway, just click below to hear the goodness…

DJ Cosmo / Cosmodelica Special!

This week on the Discopia Show, to celebrate the launch of her brand new monthly shindig "COSMODELICA", we have an entire DJ COSMO-themed show, featuring an EXCLUSIVE "COSMODELICA" mix, and a repeat of the original Discopia Cosmo interview, first broadcast in June 2005. Featuring a whole host of funky acid rock and psychedelic dance music, the COSMODELICA mix is a reflection of the sort of thang that the lady herself will be playing tonight, and the first Thursday of every month, to all you lucky punters in London town. And for those outside the capital, we present the next best thing! So wrap your ears around 2 hours full of the following, and get re-acquainted with the first lady of trippy disco!
