PLR'S TOP 10 DISCO GROOVES 2013, FEAT POWERLINE, MOMENT OF TRUTH, EDDIE KENDRICKS

I pondered a theme for this weeks show and decided to showcase some of the great, underground disco classics. Initially I thought it would be a good idea to do my top ten all time disco grooves but when faced with the challenge of making the selections, I reverted to picking a top ten list of disco classics for 2013. As the tracklist below shows, there are a good range of styles and also skipping across the pond for the Light of The World Groove.

I truly hope you enjoy the selections and take some of the positive vibes that featured so heavily in all this music. It will make your day!

Stay Smilin and see you on the dancefloor!

PLR SHOW 19 FEAT EL COCO, THE BLACKBYRDS, IDRUS MOHAMMAD

A delicious blend of grooves from 70's through to the 90's. All the usual suspects popping up and treating us with many amazing tunes. keep your ears pricked for the Kano tune, She's A Star. Italian producers playing up to the Americano palate with an undeniable italo edge. Stefano Pulga and Lucio Ninzatti would have worn out a good couple of arpeggiators in their time!

PLR SHOW 18 FEAT HERBIE MANN, CANDIDO, FOX THE FOX

The gold keeps rollin through here at Paradise Loft Radio. Where im at the sun is shining so where ever you may be i hope its shining for you too!

Candido, the gentleman responsible for the groove Dancin' and Prancin' is a Cuban Born percussionist and arrived in New York in 1952. The following year he was working with Dizzie Gilliespie and other Jazz greats. He went on to produce the album Dancin' and Prancin' in 1979 which was released on Salsoul records. A truly amazing record with 3 of the four tracks being worthy of any dance floor. Enjoy another week of Paradise Loft Radio and if you don't know Candido look him up. An amazing cat!
