So at last I am finally fulfilling the promise of new content, and new mixes. So here is the second of three mixes I have to go up (and in fact just got sent another this morning – joy), and this one is from Brighton resident Local Zero. I first became aware of Local Zero after a few people I know favorited mixes on the soundcloud account, and had a listen myself whilst beavering away making the millions of pounds I earn each day grafting. I then met the man himself (Richard Dugdale) when I was down spinning in Brighton, and asked him for a mix. This is the product of that ask.

I promised you three new mixes, and three new mixes you will have. The first one on the list is this from Emma, with another hour long journey though deep house with jacking disco strands. Emma came to play at Archive for us a month or so ago and didn’t get anything like long enough, so hopefully this makes up for it somewhat. She will be playing again for us in the future as long as she remembers her way back to the North West, after the soon to arrive exodus to the bright lights..

A skillful mix of funk, soul and northern with a touch of Jazz. Its the kind of thing most of us love, but dont have the records (or the ability) to put together.

A guest mix from Strictly Buine$$ – a collective of Polish Dj’s who came together to (in their own words) “to awaken from stupor the Warsaw club scene, which, to this day was dominated by shallow sounds reproduced from suspicious devices.” Brilliant.

Simon Busby, a splendid chap from London whom I have recently been conversing with more and more often, sent this mix to me a month or so ago. Its a great mix of progressive disco, funky italo, super cool deepness and some extra added party. The only reason I haven’t uploaded it sooner for everyone is that sometimes, I really need to get my act together a bit quicker.

Good things happen through music. Its a fact. A few weeks back (in fact a month ago now) I played at the rather amazing Beat Herder festival in darkest Lancashire. It didnt rain the whole day, until about 20 minutes before my set, and then it absolutely bollocked down. Whilst trying to take refuge on the stage, Id been listening to the three DJ’s who were on before me play a wierd and wonderful mix of absolutely everything, inclsuing, smatterings of disco.

As part of the new Altiplano night that recently came to Liverpool, Kelvin Andrews sent this mix over – Shaved Guevera!

Disco Deviance is a label synonymous with the current meteoric rise of party music. Dicky Trisco, DD head honcho, kindly supplied a really good underground disco mix for the site, along with answering a number of extremely taxing questions.

Because of the great music and what with it being in Liverpool, I asked Altiplano if I could host the mixes each month on this blog, and they kindly agreed. So here they are, all stream/download ready. No track list as of yet, maybe people could try and work one out to each set…

The last mix before launch day – Paul Outlar runs the “where would Liverpool be without it” dance listing website Outlar, and is also semi resident at virtually every night in the city. Any that have a sound music policy anyway…

Another day, and another great disco mix. This one cant really be categorized in genre which is really what I want when listening to a mix. This is from Gavin Kendrick who was originally part of the Cosmic Boogie blog when it all started up a few years ago. Enjoy this real eclectic mix of disco, funk, soul and all the shades between.

The second in the series of Liverpool DJ disco mixes this week (celebrating the first ever Cosmic Boogie 12″) comes from Jasbof promoter and Chibuku resident Rich Furness. Rich is, by all accounts, a music lover – everything from 80’s pop to the darkest dubstep and techno. After a few stints playing disco with me in a bar around Liverpool, he came up with this unique twist on Disco with many classics, and some really not so obvious surprises…

This week sees the launch of the first ever Cosmic Boogie edit 12″, of which I am of course really excited about. I thought I would try and do something different for the launch other than just bang a post up here with all the blurb about the track and links to buy it, so I asked 4 friends in Liverpool to construct a mix for me based around disco in some way. The results are all great, and each day this week I will be putting one of the mixes up, culminating on a mix from myself on Friday to officially announce the launch.

If you haven’t already heard the excellent Out In The Sticks edits, then you really need to go and do that. Most people would question what you could do to a track like Forget Me Not (apart from Will Smith), but listen, and you shall see. Im a big fan, Greg is a big fan, the other stuff I have heard that they are sitting on is also just as good. Out In The Sticks might be out of town, but they are anything but out of touch.

I had a very good Christmas on the whole. Everything went smoothly, none more so than the night we put on with Trus’me on boxing night. The place was busy and a good time was had by all. Numerous good things came out of the night, and one of them is this very guest mix [...]

This guest mix is a little different. Usually, the guest mixes are made for Cosmic Boogie, and Cosmic Boogie alone. That’s why I put them up. This one wasn’t though – it was made for more sinister purposes outlined below, but its been one of my favourite mixes of the last year or so, so when our friend Solid State from Society in Sheffield said it was no longer available from the Internet…I thought it could have a home here. It might not be ours in property, but its ours in spirit. Arrr. Over to you Mr State…

Adam Wilson is part of the collective of Dj’s that play at the Pure Space night in Manchester and he sent us this mix over which was recorded live at the night back in April of this year. He started playing disco, funk and soul as a direct result of attending Dave Haslam’s Yellow night in Manchester in the late 90’s, and has never looked back.

The second guest mix we have hosted from our partners in crime, the Disco Outcasts over in Manchester. A late night deep and dirty mix of disco, which should surely be played after you have just finished a bottle of jack Daniels, and are wondering what the fuck is going on. This mix was broadcast [...]

The second Chibuku regular in the same amount of weeks, Tane sent us this mixed slice of psychedalic fuelled disco, electro and funk. I dont really know what to say about it other than play and listen. Its an excellent mix.

Another week and another great guest mix. This time we welcome Emma with a discofied mix of house and techno. A change of genre from the usual maybe, but definitely not a change in vibe or groove. After jacking around the house to this for the last hour or so, Cosmic Boogie heartily recommends it to pick those energy levels up. We think this is the first time in a long time that Emma has put a mix up on the net, so big thanks for that, and here it will have a permanent home…

This is a great selection of disco from Swine Magazine collaborator Ste. Probably one of the finest Balearic disco mixes I have heard. Certainly the best one to come out of Warrington, at any rate. You can find this mix hosted on the aforementioned magazine site, and also on the ‘del lar blog, but we thought it so good that it should be here as well. Swine Magazine commander in chief Phil Thornton will be supplying us with reviews for the site soon as we all gear up for a big Liverpool love-in. Enjoy.

We welcome Professor Eddy to the site with a fantastically upbeat mix called “Ice Cream Disco”. Eddy contacted me last week with the mix, and its great – a bit like a big disco ray of sunshine. “The idea”, says Eddy, “was to put some fresh disco tracks together”. I think he has certainly done that, alot of new things to my ears thats for sure.

You might know Stefano from our good friends at Shoot Speed (or maybe from the Disco Outcasts). This mix was carefully crafted for a play on David Dunn’s radio show on Galaxy FM last weekend, and now its here for all of us to enjoy. Holy water can’t save us now…

My cosmic mix or ‘Dan’s Space Ride mix’, to give it it’s full title, was the first mix I recorded in over 8 years! I recorded it to minidisc in August 2007, after a trip to Berlin; when I realised that I wanted to push my own DJ endeavours and hopefully play in cities like Berlin, or anywhere inspirational really. I had no intention of doing anything with this mix as it was purely a practice mix…

First in a series of many guest mixes – friends of Cosmic Boogie, DJs from the city, and CDs we happen to find lying around. This is from the afficionados over at deepsoul3, and a fine, slow bubbling, Balearic burner it is. Big love to them, and big love to you for listening in.
