✨ 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. And to close the festivities… Anita Ward’s “Ring My Bell” floats in like the final dance at a winter party wrapped in velvet, glitter, laughter, and golden light. This is CHIC. This is Studio 54. 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.

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.

The night begins with a slow burn… Greg Wilson’s version of Love Is the Drug by Roxy Music — a timeless groove celebrating 50 years of a record that still drips with danger, desire, and velvet allure. 🥀✨ From there, we slide deeper into the pulse — smooth edits, late-night disco burners, and grooves built to make the floor melt. Raw Silk’s Just in Time gets a lush lift with Michael Gray on the remix, setting the tone for a night where every beat is a touch, every bassline a whisper. D.C. LaRue’s Cathedrals — wrapped in that classic Dave Lee disco extension — unfurls like a velvet curtain. Rhyze’s Do Your Dance slides in with that Moodena bounce, the kind of track that makes hips talk without words. We keep the energy hot with The Shapeshifters’ Slippery People featuring Ramona Renea & Fiorious — Sophie Lloyd turning it into pure sweat and seduction. The night’s heartbeat hits its stride with Phyllis Hyman’s You Know How to Love Me (Dave Lee’s Extended Disco Mix) — a record that glides like silk and bites like champagne bubbles. Then… D.C. LaRue returns with Do You Want the Real Thing in an Opolopo rework that’s all heat and no hesitation. Finally, we bring it home with disco royalty — Candido’s Dancin’ and Prancin’ (The Reflex Revision) and The Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra’s Step Into My Life — a one-two punch designed to keep you locked in the groove, body to body, beat to beat. This is Lovers Groove. Where disco sweats, seduces, and never says goodnight. 🖤🪩

Step inside… the lights are low, the floor is glowing, and the night is ready to misbehave. 🪩 This isn’t just a mix — it’s a love letter to the dance floor. A shimmering journey through the golden pulse of 70s–00s pop culture, reborn through remixes where legends slip into something new and every beat drapes across the skin like silk. It opens with a David Morales remix of Ain’t Nobody by Chaka Khan — a slow-burning rework that pulls you in. The glow spreads through remixed cuts of Groove Is in the Heart by Deee-Lite, Boogie Nights by Heatwave, My Forbidden Lover by Chic, and Ladies’ Night by Kool & the Gang — satin grooves designed to make hips sway and pulses skip. The temperature rises with Give Me Love by Cerrone — remixed by Louie Vega — before Cosmic Girl by Jamiroquai gets a disco-funk remix from Dimitri from Paris. Then comes the champagne rush: the Studio 2054 remix of Real Groove by Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa, followed by Give Me the Night by George Benson in a smooth remix from Shane D. Jealousy by Róisín Murphy keeps the room simmering with a Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye remix, seductive and slow like an exhale in a crowded room. Finally, the night exhales with the PNAU remix of Cold Heart by Elton John and Dua Lipa — a cosmic kiss goodnight. ✨ Discothèque Decadence The lights don’t fade here… they smolder. Legends don’t age — they seduce.

Then Ken@Work steps up with a slick remix of “Good Times”, reshaping a classic into a strut-ready roller. The fire continues with Purple Disco Machine, Benjamin Ingrosso & Nile Rodgers on the outrageously funky “Honey Boy (Extended Version)”. We roll into Kylie Minogue’s “Tension”, given a shimmering electro-glam remix by Chromeo, and a twilight anthem in Shakedown’s “At Night” (Purple Disco Machine Extended Remix). Also packed in the crate is a bouncing remix of Kool & The Gang’s “Fresh” from HP Vince, bringing neon-tinted boogie to the dancefloor revival. We round things off with a high-voltage twist on CHIC’s “Freak Out”, with Pitbull and Nile Rodgers closing the party in full hands-up style. And that’s not all — this mix is stacked with edits and grooves from the likes of Nathalie Duchene & Yuksek, CHMI, Michael Gray & LaMay, Javier Penna, DiscoRocks, Ladies On Mars, Sammy Deuce, and the ever-slick Crazy P. Modern disco. Golden soul. All attitude. This is Discothèque Decadence: Studio 54 Flipped. 👠✨ Save it. Share it. Freak out.
