K.I.D. - Don't Stop

Given that Alan Braxe is returning to New York with Lifelike for the next FIXED party on June 7th, it seemed like an excellent opportunity to post this track which serves as the base sample for "Most Wanted". In addition to appearing in a slew of disco mixes, it's sampled by Pryda on his "Remember" track which, no surprise here, I've previously posted. "Dont' Stop" appears on a 12" originally released in 1981 by New York's SAM record label, the b-side being "Do It Again". You can listen to it on Youtube via the discorecords user channel.

Punkin' Machine - I Need You Tonight

Don't tell anyone but I think I was possibly the last person on the planet to hear the James Murphy & Pat Mahoney Fabriclive.36 mix. This was on the tracklist and it's one of those disco songs I'd heard out everywhere in the last year thanks to parties put on by DFA affiliates. The thing is I didn't have a clue what it was until now. Here's the original from start to finish with no mixed outro (meaning it's not ripped from the aforementioned Fabric mix).

Mirage - Woman (Cosmic Club Mastercuts)

While I'm having another one of those "everything must be related" epiphanies (which I'm sure has every record collector about 10 years my senior laughing hysterically) this track appears on Cosmic Club's Mirage/Punkin' Machine split, a limited edition, unofficial 12" and the first in the Cosmic Club series. It's a 1983 italo-disco tune and the Cosmic Club Mastercuts version is a sped up dub of the original.

At 8:57 PM EDT, M.A. said...: it's definitely digital and i do have a vinyl rip but err, it sounds much worse than the 128 kbps.
