Discotheque

Hey groovers, we're back for more swingin' fun.

This latest mix Discotheque zooms in on early to mid 60's American teen beat, with an emphasis on stomping dance tunes and the occasional Dance Craze toon.

We start off with the super sounds of Little Stevie Wonder, getting the stomp groove down gloriously, for a teenager. Then we venture off into Phil Spector's magic kingdom as he leads Bobby Sox and the Blue Jeans through 2 minutes of some of the craziest stomp to hit the needle. And who is Dr Kaplan?

Along the way have some major legends, including Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and the Velvettes, who along with the Chiffons and the Shangri-las add some great girl group savvy. We also get to step the sparkling floor with some lesser knowns. or in the case of Sister Sledge, some early knowns.

This is Disco, before the ball. How much fun can you have?
