So I’ve had a bit of an idea for a while now, a relatively unimaginative idea granted, to gather some of what I think are the finest mixes ever laid down and share them with some of you far yonder folk that may never have come across them before. And to go with this unimaginative idea, we’ll use an unimaginative if slightly borrowed but massively effective title – ISODISCO ESSENTIAL MIXES. continue..
Slowly but surely getting through the slew of quality mixes doing the rounds at the mo, here’s a quick selection of a few of our favourites..
MAYA JANES COLES – ESSENTIAL MIX
The object of our current affection/infatuation, MJC drops 2 hours of house as deep as whale shit. Few awesome unreleased remixes/edits on this one too.
Download right HERE.
FRANCIS INFERNO ORCHESTRA – LIVE
A recording of what sounded like a stellar party in Romania (cops called six times, ya know, the usual kinda business..) from the untouchable FIO‘s recent/current European tour. Griff has a cracking new track out on House of Disco records soon, keep em peeled.
DAZ & MARTIN – GET DOWN JULY 2011 MIX
An absolutely superb disco selection from our Irish bro’s Daz and Martin. The Waterford duo are currently riding high in charts everywhere with their Get Down Edits wax that features Daz’s massive Sister Sledge re-work. Not too many copies left of this actually, snap one up super quick if you find one.

He was also lauded as the first DJ to mix two records live on UK television, with this legendary 1983 performance on The Tube. continue..
