Recommend some Disco and Funk tracks
Hey everyone ever since hearing Duck Sauce and few other great disco funk style tracks i’ve been obsessed. I’ve been having trouble finding a consistent set of tracks that would fit with Duck Sauce. So I was wondering what your guys recommendations would be for disco and funk tracks.
WTF is Duck Sauce ? Artist Label etc.
Duck Sauce is a collaberate between Armin Van Helden and A-Trak.
The oogie in your boogie and the unk in your funk. That’s awesome!!
I’ve been diggin on The Apples lately, they’re kind of a jazzy funk though.
I don’t know how I found this guy

disco and funk
The Ultimate DJ Breaks collection (25 double vinyls I think) is a great place to start. There are a bunch of breaks collections available in hip-hop record stores that will introduce you to some great old funk. But if you really want to know your shit and not just the stuff that gets sampled by hip hop artists, read Tim Lawrence’s book “Love Saves the Day” and get every record mentioned there 
Heres some I like playing:
Too Hot to Stop - The Bar-Kays
Boogie Slyde - Wizardz
Car Wash = Rose Royce
Gangster with an A - Old Money
Chillin’ - Modjo
Holy Ghost - Bar-Kays
N.I.C.E. - Alan Wilkis
Stayin Alive - Bee Gees
Let it Whip - Dazz Band
If you mean like “new” funk these are massive
I’m so on this thread when I get home.

Check out stuff put out by Louis La Roche, Axel Le Baron and The Phantoms Revenge.
Overplayed but one of my faves from the last 5 years.
Local Heroes and a good tune for the warm up set.
This track manages to make it into my discofunk sets every time. Bit of a signature tune for me. Theres a rather tasty dj friendly edit that i play.
Really good for the bar set. Always check for 40 Thieves and of course Greg Wilson IS GOD.
Pure disco and a stonking Danny Krivit edit
Big Funk.
The edits by MrK collection the Diana Ross is from mentioned above is a belter.
(managed to see him play easter sunday at Melting Pot - what a night!)
For modern stuff check out stuff by TheRevenge, 6th Borough project - the Instruments of Rapture 12’s are now out on Digital at Juno. If you go to the curious people soundcloud page and look at the tracklisting for the discosnare mixes.
err, tensnake, faze action, ltj xperience, duff disco, mark e, eddie c all making great stuff on the disco tip.
Ah man i saw Danny Krivit a few times in Manchester a few years back. Legend.
But your mention of The Revenge got me thinking of this Marvin Gaye edit.
BTW- everything in your list is what i play at the weekends. I think we may read off the same hymn list man.
Massive selection Karlos!!!
I used to smash that Punkin Machine all the time… and that whole Elektons album is mega… Dirty Basement is wicked at about 4am
Gonna fling out a couple more all time smashers.
FUCKING MAHOOSIVE.
Lost my mind when I heard this for the first time.
Shit man. Literally doesn’t get much bigger than that think twice track. super heavy… you might have played the top trump there…
This always smashes it too, though i can now only imagine her in a sex tape with marilyn manson
Gotta say, im home and full of flu, feeling shit and going nowhere this weekend but this thread is a joy.
if that’s the stuff you play out karlos then you’re obviously a man of taste! I’m only learning - so it doesn’t get played outside my kitchen/ipod at the moment.
OT - doing a course for work that needs to be done for end of June. So hopefully get some mixing time in after that. At which point i’ll post some mixes of this sort of stuff for critisicm from you guys…
Not too much disco to my mind
I love funk, but disco gets me twitchy - music entered a dark period in '77 …
