  • 41 - Episode 38: Locked on Quincy: a disco tribute to the musical legend Quincy Jones

    Quincy Delight Jones Junior was born in Chicago in 1933. At High School in Seattle he became an accomplished trumpeter, and then focused on music with a scholarship to Boston's Berklee College of Music. After college he worked with a number of orchestras and bands until in the 1960s becoming Frank Sinatra's arranger and conductor, notably leading the recording of the 1966 live album "Sinatra at the Sands" with the Count Basie Orchestra. A background with big bands, orchestras, and jazz followed him through his career and into our disco era where Quincy's signature production features bold brass, lush strings, hypnotic percussion and complex vocal arrangements. He met Michael Jackson when they both worked on the film "The Wiz". Michael invited Quincy to produce his upcoming solo album, but the record label objected, saying Quincy was "too jazzy". Michael insisted, and the result, "Off The Wall" propelled them both to mega stardom.Here I've gathered my favourite Quincy produced, arranged and written tracks which have themselves already been lovingly reproduced by disco leaders Dr Packer, The Reflex, Loshmi, Pete Le Freq and more, plus, unusually for me, some original recordings, which itself is very telling. No-one can even try to improve Quincy's original "Billie Jean."  And I couldn't find anyone who's touched "Ease on down the road"  .   .   .  yet.Thank you Quincy.  You will be missed.  Love F*Here's the track list:1 | Michael Jackson | Billie Jean (SWG Remastered Extended Mix)2 | Donna Summer | State of independence (Dave Leatherman & Bruce Nolan 2023 Rework)3 | Michael Jackson | P.Y.T.

  • 40 - Episode 37: The best disco tracks for November 2024: f*monday presents Locked On Disco/ Lo mejor de disco

    Welcome to another hour of disco, mixed with love in London. And 40 years ago this month Wham! released "Everything she wants" which starts this set with with the authentically updated Dolls Combers Tribute Remix. As far as we know George Michael did everything himself on the original, playing all the instruments and singing all the vocals, so technically it's not a Wham! track at all. Other tracks featured in this mix are Larry Funk's "Together", Nicole's "Rock the house", A-Trak's "Like I said" (which I might have changed a bit ;-), Stephane Deschezeaux, and DJ B1's "Lovin' you" along with some delicious edits of chunky disco treats. Enjoy! XX F*Here's the full track list:1 | Wham! | Everything she wants (Dolls Combers Tribute Remix)2 | Bee Gees | Night fever (S. Nolla & Dr. Parellada Unreleased Mix)3 | Queen and Gino Soccio | Try it out (David Kust Bites The Dust Remix)4 | Change | Change of heart (Fingerman's Extended Edit)5 | The Whispers | And the beat goes on (Marcus Bootleg)6 | Franki Valli | Grease (S R Edits Rework)7 | Larry Funk | Together (Original Mix)8 | Nicole | Rock the house (Michael Gray Vocal Extended Remix)9 | A-Trak | Like I said (F*Monday Bootleg)10 | Ron Carroll | Soul train (R C's Re-Edit)11 | Stephane Deschezeaux, DJ B1 | Lovin' you (Original Mix)12 | Aretha Franklin | Get it right (Ced ReWork)And here's a link to the Spotify playlist. Some of the edits and remixes I've used may not be widely available.For a while I've been thinking about creating a history of disco mix, picking out some of the great tracks that symbolise the disco era. Meanwhile I recommend listening to Steve Greenberg's podcast "Speed of sound".  Four of his podcast's episodes take you on a fascinating musical journey from Nazi occupied Paris to disco dominating American Top 40 radio. Definitely worth downloading.And if you want more, subscribe to Discodave's Spotify playlist, The Disco Files 1970-78, which includes all the tracks he could find from Vince Aletti's book "The Disco Files".

So grab your party packs and let's start with an Aloe Blacc and Patrice Rushen mashup, then a bulging fun bag of rare and unheard versions of Electric Light Orchestra, Duran Duran, and Hot Chocolate. An exclusive George Benson edit, some special Supertramp, Tears For Fears, Erasure, Michael Jackson and many more.
