The Funk Assassin

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.
To move with you—body, mind, and heart.

Press play, settle in, and let the night unfold.

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
