Waterford’s Get Down Edits are two absolute turkeys, but seriously fantastic DJs. In between running their own label & churning out their own essential re-works and edits, the duo regularly play in their home city, throughout Ireland and beyond, raising hell like nobody’s business. continue..
Here’s some lush brilliance from one part of the Rose Records crew to make up for me having been such a wack, sporadic blogger recently!
2012 has definitely been the year of the Rose for me. With three beautiful EPs in the bag and a fourth dropping soon, the warmth, soul and detail of the guys’ productions is just next-level shit. The super cool Leipzig-based crew (Martin Hayes, Luvless & M.ono) specialise in deep, low-tempo percussive grooves, and this sample-laden sunshine journey from Luvless is no different.

So everyone seen this then? Neh, didn’t think so! NiTE JAMS is gonna be something mega cool, pretty exciting and a bit different for Belfast. Head on over & like the party’s Facebook page, and keep up to speed with some genuinely fantastic upcoming gigs. OOoh, exciting innit.
Wanna watch a really bizarre video of Prins Thomas drink beer and play tunes in a confined space? Look here. Awesome tunes, all the same.
How good’s this sleazy beast gonna be on the boat parties of the likes of Electric Elephant & the Garden Party when the sun’s setting, and vibes are sexeh. Then the massive fucking drop at 4:30 appears outta nowhere and everyone loses their minds.
Great great times. Pity we’ll not be there, ffs.

We’ve been a bit quiet on the blog front for the last while. With excuses ranging from broken laptops, being homeless for a few weeks, or just being Skef, we haven’t had the chance to post up as much as we would like to, but we have been busy! Make sure to stay tuned for the next in our exclusive podcast mix series coming this week, with a few more belters lined up over the next while.
In the meantime, there has been so many great edits floating about, so here are just a few rocking our boat at the minute. Some great ones for those summer time parties!
First up is Touchsoul‘s sublime Maxwell edit. Make sure to check out their Soundcloud for limited downloads of their edits, and be quick as they are usually gone in minutes!
Maxwell – Ascension (Touchsoul Lover’s Only Edit)
Next up is Matthew Kyle’s sublime edit of Bobby Womack. You know what sort of groove to expect by now, and this doesn’t fail to deliver
Nobody Wants You When You’re Down and Out (Matthew Kyle Edit)
Then we have a cracking edit from Daniel Swainger. Many more of these on his Soundcloud
‘You keep making me hot’ Busta Jones (danimalswainger Edit)
Next up, from Drop Out Orchestra, a blissful edit of Sade’s classic (even better than Shola Ama’s!)
Drop_Out_Orchestra_-_The_Swedish_Taboo
Any finally we have a brilliant edit of Jennifer Hudson from the legendary Mark Seven. We were pointed to this one by Mike from Belfast Music Club, who are bringing Mark over this summer. Looking forward to that!
Don’t Look Down (Mark Seven Tape Edit)
Enjoy!
Can’t quite believe it’s been almost 12 months, hundreds of amazing tracks, countless gigs and 2 venues since our first isodisco party! What started off as a small idea to offer Belfast’s only dedicated disco-house soundtrack has quickly swallowed up much of our time & devotion and we’re all set to celebrate the entire shebang with a couple of pretty special parties.
Check here for WE ARE ONE | Pt1 and click WE ARE ONE | Pt2 for details of gigs that we’re beyond excited about.
A plethora of the finest local DJ talent and the disco punters of Northern Ireland have supported isodisco from inception, and international labels, producers & music lovers the world over have propelled this blog business to quite frankly frightening new heights – to each and every one of you, may we extend a heartfelt thanks. Long may it continue.
Hope to see you on the dancefloor soon!
