Disc 2.

“Having got all the bloggers on the dancefloor with the clarion call that is Megamix #1 , we can now afford to widen our scope, throw a few curveballs, take a few risks. But not too many risks; we don’t want any disgruntled punters marching up to the DJ booth and asking when we’re going to play some “proper music”.”

“So variety is the order of day here. Something for the kids, something for the mums and dads, something for the cool gay uncles dancing “ironically” – and why, I think even Grandma in the corner might be spotted tapping the odd toe or two!”

Disc 3.

“Hold the cheese! As our third megamix steers an altogether more “credible” course (albeit in a somewhat mid-1990s student disco fashion, as usage of the term “credible” might imply), those of you with the musical equivalent of lactose intolerance may derive great comfort from it.”

“The set starts with a sedate mid-paced shuffle, before slowly ramping up the levels of thrash to a shattering – nay, cathartic – intensity. A restorative retro/Tarantino interlude then leads us into a full-on lasers-and-smoke-machines finale, before everyone collapses into a sodden heap to the strains of a universally acknowledged classic.”

22. Teenage Kicks – The Undertones

Disc 4.

“The Obscure One.”

“From cheese to cred to cult; that’s the progression we’re adopting down at the Bloggers’ Disco, as Volume 4 sees us investigating some of your more leftfield suggestions. Indeed, most of today’s tracks are as unfamiliar to me as they no doubt will be to you. Nevertheless, I have hopefully knitted them together into some sort of coherent order – albeit without any of the fancy mixing techniques of the first few sets.”

“After a gentle beginning – more Bloggers’ Chill Lounge than Bloggers’ Disco – we move into mostly guitar-based waters, of the sort that will probably appeal to the Uncut/Mojo readers amongst you. If none of this tickles your dancing feet, then might I suggest that this would be a good time to grab a paper plate and avail yourself of the tasty treats over at the Bloggers’ Buffet? Once you’ve done that, then let’s have you all burning off those calories with our funkier closing section, which will transport you back to the New York underground disco scene of the late 1970s.”

2. Chocolate Jesus – Tom Waits
3. Chunga’s Revenge – Gotan Project
4. Eight Miles High – Leo Kottke

18. Reasons To Be Cheerful Part 3 – Ian Dury & The Blockheads
19. Anikana-O – Kongas

Disc 5.

“Like disco never happened.”

“Our penultimate megamix moves from glacial alienation, through gay electro-pop, through cutesy-wutesy indie-jangle, through leather-jacketed rebel-rock, to beer-sodden bar-room boogie, before ending with a flurry of pure 1980s pop. OK, so it’s not what you might call “funky”, but it does its job all the same.”

Disc 6.

“The last gasp.”

“Our Bloggers’ disco has turned into something of a dance marathon, hasn’t it? Assuming that we start the dancing with the first megamix at 8pm, and play each mix in sequence, then the sixth and final mix won’t even start until 2.40 in the morning. So let’s take a look round the room and see who’s left standing.”

“OK, I can see that some of you are flagging a bit. So let’s have you all back on the floor for one more massed knees-up, culminating in an old favourite from 1990 which always, always has everyone dancing. (Is there anyone alive who doesn’t like this? No, thought not.)”

“With many of you starting to collect your coats and phone for cabs, the next two sections of the mix are designed to cater for two groups who have been given somewhat short shrift over the past few hours.”

“Firstly, the saucer-eyed Ravey Davey Graveys finally get a chance to make some interesting shapes with their hands, to a selection of Banging Choons. “What’s yer name? Where yer from? What’s yer URL? Top one!” Sadly, we couldn’t afford any smoke and lasers at our disco – but the three little coloured sound-to-light bulbs on the top of the right hand speaker are flashing away like no-one’s business. Cosmic!”

“Secondly, the group of disgruntled rockers on the plastic stacking chairs in the far corner, who have been moaning about how there hasn’t been any “proper” music all night, finally leap to their feet, put their pint glasses on the floor, stick their thumbs through their belt loops, and “bond” (in an entirely non-sexual way) to a selection of rock tracks old and new.”

“As the bar staff advance, J-cloths in hand, to wipe down the tables and lift up the chairs, the small remaining gaggle of diehards form a big circle, arms around shoulders, and bellow their lungs out to… well, you’ll see.”

“One more tune! One more tune!”

“One more tune it is, then. Even though the house lights are up, and the bar manager is jangling his keys impatiently. A disco classic, to send you off into the early morning (is it 4 o’clock already?) with a smile on your face and a “Best Disco EVAH!” post already drafting itself in your head.”
