Discothèque Decadence DD023 Haçienda Manchester Opening – 44th Anniversary 80s & 90s Dance Classics Step back onto one of the most influential dancefloors in music history as Discothèque Decadence celebrates the 44th anniversary of Manchester's legendary Haçienda. This special edition pays tribute to the records, DJs and unforgettable nights that helped define club culture throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. From the euphoric rise of House and Garage to the underground sounds that fuelled a generation, DD023 captures the spirit of a movement that changed dance music forever. Featuring timeless classics and dancefloor anthems from Todd Terry, David Morales, Roger Sanchez, K-Klass, Inner City, A Guy Called Gerald, Derrick May, Larry Heard, Alison Limerick, Joe Smooth and many more, this mix is packed with the records that lit up Manchester's most famous club. For me, this is where the story really begins. The Haçienda sound, the records, the culture and the energy of that era sparked my own love affair with dance music during the mid-to-late 1990s. Long before DJing, collecting records and creating mixes became a huge part of my life, these were the records and stories that inspired everything that followed. Pulled from the archives, this mix has become something of a time capsule. Over the years it has grown into the most listened-to Dance Classics mix I've ever recorded, continuing to attract listeners who share a love for the golden era of House music and the enduring legacy of the Haçienda. Every track has been carefully selected and mixed with love as a celebration of the records, the DJs and the dancefloor that changed everything. TRACKLIST 1. The Source feat.

VG004 slips into the room slowly. Low lights. Velvet curtains. Warm air moving through a warehouse long after midnight. This mix drifts between cosmic disco, sultry house, and hypnotic after-hours grooves - the kind of soundtrack that turns strangers into silhouettes and dancefloors into memories. Lisa Shaw's I Can See It opens everything with pure silk. Miguel Migs wraps the vocal in deep sunset soul before Woolfy and Prins Thomas stretch the mood into something dreamlike and weightless with Making It Right. Then Joris Voorn's Ryo glides in like neon reflections across wet city streets. There's a magnetic pull running through this entire journey. Delphi's Blue Tuesday feels lonely in the most beautiful way possible, while Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas completely reimagine Swoon into a slow-burning cosmic spiral built for 4AM moments. Peggy Gou and Maurice Fulton bring pure attitude with I Go, before Chilly's For Your Love and Stinger J.'s Pretty Face inject that irresistible disco heat - sensual, loose, and dripping in groove. And then the deeper descent begins. The Funk Assassin originals sit right in the heart of the mix like hidden rooms inside the club itself. Warehouse Orbit moves with smoky warehouse energy and late-night tension, Timbale Moon Drift floats somewhere between lunar disco and downtown soul, while Basement Mirror twists everything into a darker, sleazier groove designed for the final hours when nobody wants to leave. Tiger & Woods, Midnight Magic, Alan Dixon, and Musumeci keep the pulse alive all the way through - balancing elegance with pure dancefloor seduction - before MK's Burning (Vibe Mix) closes the doors with one last emotional rush. VG004 isn't peak-time music. It's the soundtrack for what happens after. For the dancers still moving when the lights should've already come on. TRACKLIST 1.

Then the Latin fire rises. David Penn, DJ Chus & Dr. Kucho!'s “Esperanza” leads into Africanism & Salomão De Bahia's “Cada Vez”, before two personal weapons take centre stage: The Funk Assassin – “Sabor En Tu Piel” and The Funk Assassin – “Di Mi Nombre (Spanglish Pop Soul Edit)”. Both capture the heart of the mix: sensual, rhythmic, warm, and built for that golden-hour moment when the drinks are flowing, the sea is glowing, and the groove takes over.

Record Store Day 2026: French Touch & Nu Disco Session

For those locked into that golden hour state of mind, this is a full Balearic sunset session designed to carry you from late afternoon glow into dusk.

Step a little closer… this one's different. Velvety Grooves VG003 isn't just a mix, it's a mood. A slow burn. The kind of energy that wraps around you, pulls you in, and doesn't let go. From the very first drop, you feel it. That deep, rolling groove, smooth, confident, a little bit dangerous. A sun-kissed rework of Sylvester's “Mighty” sets the tone, and before you know it, you're locked into something hypnotic. Then “Zeus” glides in, warm, euphoric, effortless, like golden hour on a dancefloor that never sleeps. This mix moves, but it doesn't rush. It teases. Basslines that slide instead of hit. Chords that shimmer instead of shout. Vocals that feel like they're meant just for you. There's a certain kind of confidence running through this one. The playful bounce of “We Like to Party”, the irresistible pull of “Amore Automatico”, the sun-soaked glow of Nu Genea, it's all curated to make you feel something. And then it lifts. “Wake Up!” hits and suddenly the room feels lighter, brighter, like everyone's locked into the same moment. “Love Ain't Over” softens things just enough, before “Wonderful Life '25” takes you somewhere higher, eyes closed, hands up, completely gone. By the time “It's Alright” closes things out, you're not the same as when you pressed play. This is that late-night energy. The kind that turns heads without trying. The kind that makes you move a little slower, a little closer. Whether it's pre-drinks, the dancefloor, or that moment after when the music's still playing and nobody wants to leave, VG003 knows exactly what it's doing. Press play. Feel it build. And let the velvet do the talking.

SUNSET TO SUNRISE: Spring Equinox Special ☀️ A golden hour soul session by The Funk Assassin As day melts into night, this session captures that perfect in-between — where the sky glows, the fire's lit, and the first groove hits just right. We open with a timeless anthem — instantly familiar, instantly warm — before drifting through soulful house staples, gospel-infused highs, and deep, velvet grooves that carry you from golden hour into the night. From the uplifting energy of Ain't Nobody to the undeniable pull of Push The Feeling On, this is a journey built on feeling — not filler. Expect rich vocals, late-day warmth, and floor-ready soul from the likes of Crackazat, Michael Gray, Dave Lee, and Lovebirds — all carefully selected to keep things smooth, stylish, and moving. Think sunset reflections, basslines rolling in with the tide, and that moment when everything just clicks.

Valentine's Nu-Disco House Party

Champagne cold. Lights low. Midnight approaching. This is my New Year's Nu-Disco House Party Mix — built for the moment when the room is full and nobody's ready to go home. We kick things off in serious style with Sister Sledge – He's The Greatest Dancer (Dimitri From Paris Remix) — disco royalty, reborn for the countdown. From there, it's wall-to-wall class with heavyweight reworks from Dave Lee, Michael Gray, and Jamiroquai – Little L (Dave Lee Reblend), setting that glossy, late-night groove where everything starts to feel just right. As the clock ticks closer to midnight, the energy lifts with certified party weapons: Joey Montenegro – Make A Move On Me (Original Disco Edit), Anané – Let Me Be Your Fantasy (Blackchild Remix), and Dr Packer's irresistible nu-disco flip of Push The Feeling On — pure hands-in-the-air moment. Expect big smiles, locked-in dancefloors, and that warm, euphoric buzz as Cassius, JKriv, and Blank & Jones carry things deep into the night. Disco roots, modern polish, and a groove that doesn't rush — it celebrates. No filler. No filler vibes. Just big remixes, big names, and the perfect soundtrack to welcoming a new year. Press play. Raise a glass. Let's dance into it.

A Festive season mix for warm nights, soft lights, and anyone who believes the dancefloor can feel like a heartbeat… This set was crafted with pure affection—for groove, for connection, for that slow-burn heat that rises when the right records meet the right moment. It opens with the velvet glow of Jessie Ware's “Freak Me Now,” Babert's flirtatious “I Wanna Dance Tonight,” and the soulful lift of “Back Together Again.” From there, every track becomes a touch, a look, a breath. Purple Disco Machine's edit of Claptone's remix of Mylo – “Drop the Pressure” pushes the energy into a beautiful, irresistible strut—sleek, sexy, and confident. Nick Reach Up's remix of Gadjo's “So Many Times” wraps everything in sunlit nostalgia, the kind of groove that feels like warm hands on your waist. And then there's Fango's remix of Silicone Soul's “Right On”—deep, hypnotic, intimate. A late-night whisper disguised as a rhythm. Mixed between the magic, you'll find the tenderness of Nile Rodgers & Emeli Sandé's “When Someone Loves You,” and the timeless swing of Moloko & Mousse T.'s “Sing It Back”. And to close it all with love, Crazy P's “One True Light” brings the whole journey home—glowing, soulful, and softly euphoric. This is a mix made to hold you. To warm you.

✨ Step inside a disco winter wonderland wrapped in velvet. DISCOTHÈQUE DECADENCE PRESENTS: CHIC NU DISCO CLUB MIX (DD014)** “Where CHIC's mastery meets Studio 54 glamour — with sass tucked neatly in its back pocket.” We open by celebrating the architects of the groove: Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards, and CHIC — the heartbeat of disco, the masters of elegance, and the blueprint behind almost every iconic dancefloor moment that still matters today. From that spark, the night slips instantly into Studio 54 glitz — mirrorballs humming, lights glowing, sequins catching every beat. A flipped-classics celebration built from extended edits, velvet grooves, and that unmistakable New York swagger. Dimitri From Paris sets the tone with gleaming remasters of “Le Freak” and “I Want Your Love”, the perfect velvet curtain-raiser for a winter party in full shimmer. Ivan Jack & Master Mike glide in with “Rapper's Good Times,” stitching disco royalty to early hip-hop cool, before Ken@Work reshapes “Good Times” into a sleek, strut-ready roller glowing with December warmth. The glamour peaks as Sister Sledge's “Lost In Music” dissolves into Soulwax's electric rework of Sylvester's “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” — pure Studio 54 attitude: chic, confident, unstoppable. Dimitri lights the room again with his super-disco blend of “Street Player,” followed by HP Vince & Discotron turning up the heat with a revitalised “Disco Inferno” built for late-night sparkle.

This is the season — bright, warm, glamorous. This is Discothèque Decadence: Chic Nu Disco Club Mix. ✨ Save it. ✨ Share it. ✨ Ring that bell.

What started as a casual Madchester session to nod to Gary ‘Mani' Mounfield (Stone Roses & Primal Scream) slipped fast into a full psychedelic plunge through Andrew Weatherall's heaviest basslines, dubbed-out shadows, and Factory-coded deep cuts. A detour that became the destination — the Manchester Effect in full flight. This mix moves through the key zones that shaped the city's sound: the Madchester pulse, the Haçienda haze, the crossover where indie psychedelia, rave pressure, and low-slung groove blur into one continuum. The current that carried Manchester from rehearsal rooms to warehouse floors and into club culture's long memory. All tracks selected and mixed by @thefunkassassin DD013.

Step into the neon afterglow of the 80s — a decade where every synth line shimmered and every beat carried pure attitude. This mix glides through iconic 80s energy reimagined for the modern dance floor.

Deep Groove Disco Session — Mixed by The Funk Assassin A journey through modern disco gold and timeless soulful reworks, driven by the unmistakable touch of the genre's finest selectors and remixers. This mix locks you straight into that velvet groove from the opening bars. Expect heavyweight energy from the start — the Antonello Ferrari & Aldo Bergamasco Club Mix of “Relight My Fire” ignites the floor, paving the way for Dr Packer's signature multi-track magic on “Do It To The Music.” Dave Lee's fingerprints run deep throughout: from the Kashif-flavoured tribute on “I'm In Love” to the zoned-in smoothness of “You,” his craftsmanship shapes the heart of this session. Purple Disco Machine's edit of “She Can't Love You” lifts the tempo into that shimmering disco-funk pocket, while Ken@Work flips “Outstanding” into a head-nodding burner. Groovemasta keeps momentum alive with “Still In Love” and “Love Insurance,” locking in a warm, soulful mid-set flow. Closing out in style, Dave Lee's Found a Place Mix of “Come Go With Me” rolls effortlessly into the legendary Larry Levan 12” remix of “I Know You Will” — a perfect homage to the roots that shaped dance culture. This is modern disco done properly: soulful, stylish, and built for dancefloors that know the difference. Stream, share, and turn it up.

Step inside a world wrapped in velvet, a soundtrack for liminal spaces—where time, emotion, and destiny are in flux. Velvety Grooves VG002 invites you deeper into the shadows, where the lights glow low and the air hums with a slow, seductive pulse. This is deep, sexy, sultry house at its finest—a soundtrack for late-night whispers and bodies moving in perfect sync. From the hypnotic touch of Finnebassen's “When Doves Cry” and “What You Do” to the moody textures of Karmon's “Circus” and “Wowshit,” every beat drips with warmth and desire. Fly O Tech's “Funk Me Down” teases with playful basslines, while Finnebassen & Gundelach's “When It Rains” washes over you in silky waves. Fabian Kash's “Chrome,” Robosonic's “The Edge,” Adana Twins' “Strange,” Climbers' “Equal Responsibility,” and Schwarz & Funk's “Bonjour Ibiza” complete the journey—grooves smoother than satin sheets. Basslines slide under your skin. Chords wash over you like silk. Each track beckons you closer, daring you to stay until the very last note.

The editors – Greg Wilson & Ché, The Reflex, Dave Lee, DJ Fudge, Ken@Work – keep it alive, fresh, and powerful in 2025. This is about groove, respect, and reinvention. Turn it up and celebrate the culture.

We begin with a slow tease: Daft Punk – “Get Lucky” (The Funk Assassin's Groove Lucky Edit). A stripped, sultry rework that slides straight into your hips and lingers there. The lights are low, the air's warm, and the rhythm wastes no time getting intimate. Also expect my remix of Jamiroquai – “Space Cowboy” (The Funk Assassin's Synths In Space Remix)—galactic funk for bodies that don't want to land. Throughout the mix, I flip the greats: Barry White gets deeper, SOS Band gets sexier, Róisín Murphy glows with neon seduction, and Kathy Brown delivers pure heat.

Step inside the velvet-lit world of Discothèque Decadence — where the champagne flows, the bassline smoulders, and the dancefloor becomes an irresistible spell. This set drips with the kind of late-night heat that keeps bodies moving and eyes locked. From Da Lukas & Majuri's extended temptation of “Nasty Girl”, to a hypnotic reimagining of Eurythmics' “Sweet Dreams” via Steve Angello, to my own Out of Control edit of Laura Branigan's “Self Control” — every track here has been polished for maximum seduction. You'll glide through Sade's “Paradise” given fresh life by Mark Lower & Alexandra Prince, a honeyed spin on A Taste of Honey's “Boogie Oogie Oogie”, the shimmering disco mischief of KC & The Sunshine Band in an Eric Kipper extended ride, and Kool & The Gang's “Fresh” reinvented with OnDaMike's club-ready punch. Along the way, Séamus Haji & Kathy Brown, Ken@Work, Shabi, HP Vince, Groovemasta, Chewy Rubs, Eugenio Fico & Walterino, Micky More & Andy Tee, Greg Wilson and more deliver heaters you think you know… until they arrive dressed for midnight. Warm. Sexy. Sultry. Dangerous. The sound of a dancefloor you never want to leave. Press play… and don't say I didn't warn you.

Lisa Shaw tempts you with her sultry vocals on “I Can See It,” while the talented productions of Lovebirds, Eelke Kleijn, Mat.Joe, and more weave grooves smoother than satin sheets. Basslines slide under your skin. Chords wash over you like silk. Vocals tease and beckon. It's deep, sophisticated house designed to touch your soul—and everything else.

SUNSET TO SUNRISE: Summer Solstice Special ☀️ A golden hour soul session by The Funk Assassin As the sun lingers just a little longer, this mix captures the slow, golden glow of summer's most seductive moment. A velvet-smooth journey of laid-back grooves, Balearic soul, and deep, sultry house — designed to ease you into the evening with style. From the gospel shimmer of House Gospel Choir's “Gypsy Woman” to the warm vocal textures of Tom Misch & Zak Abel, we drift through jazzy infusions from Art of Tones, sun-kissed rhythms by Purple Disco Machine, and smooth floor-fillers from Micky More & Andy Tee. Ferreck Dawn, Kerri Chandler, Lovebirds, and Yam Who? provide the late-day heat, while underground gems from Sebb Junior, Retromigration, and Dave Lee keep things glowing with class and control. Think soft linen, skin on skin, a breeze off the sea, and speakers playing soul at just the right level.

You're about to be seduced by the ultimate Ibiza mixtape — a sensual, sweat-slicked journey through three decadent decades of dancefloor ecstasy.

Every beat, every remix, every bassline is dripping in desire — from the sweet ache of Show Me Love to the deep, body-moving throb of Deep Inside and the glitter-soaked rush of Groovejet. And just when you think you've had enough... You're hit with the finale: "Italian Piano Banger (Jazz Hand's Extended Mix)” — my unreleased love letter to ‘90s euphoria.

It's just been reborn.

And just when you think it's over, the journey lands beautifully with a stunning remix of Sade's “Kiss of Life”—a closing track that melts into the sunrise. Soulful. Uplifting. Timeless.
