    15/03/2026 | 3h 37 mins.
    🌙 Discothèque Decadence - Night-Time Disco & House Grooves Session (DD019)

    The second half of this 7.5 hour Discothèque Decadence journey.

    Where the daytime grooves slowly give way to full dancefloor energy.

    If DD018 was the golden hour warm-up…
    this is where the lights come on, the room fills up, and the dancefloor takes over.

    🔥 The Opening Moment (The Roots of Disco)

    We kick things off with a playful nod to where it all began:

    • Ivan Jack, Master Mike – Rapper’s Good Times

    A mashup of Rapper’s Delight and Chic’s Good Times that immediately sets the tone.
    Disco history meets party energy.

    From there the groove wastes no time getting moving through cuts like:

    • Craig C – Boogie Down
    • MVC Project – Suite 321 (Nightclubbing Mix)
    • Andy Bach – I Know You Want Me

    The room starts filling.
    Drinks are flowing.
    The rhythm is locked.

    💃 Disco Meets Modern House

    As the night settles in, the mix starts firing bigger moments:

    • Cerrone, Armand Van Helden – Je Suis Music (AVH Remix)
    • Crazy P – Any Signs Of Love
    • Lindstrøm – I Feel Goose
    • Nathalie Duchene & Yuksek – Praia (Yuksek Remix)

    Classic disco DNA collides with modern club production.
    The floor is now properly alive.

    ⚡ Dancefloor Chaos (Peak Energy)

    This is where the set explodes into full movement.

    The centre of the mix pushes deep into club territory with:

    • Todd Terry – Don’t You Feel Me
    • Opolopo & Angela Johnson – Possibilities
    • The Shapeshifters feat. Teni Tinks – Try My Love
    • Jafunk, Adi Oasis – Yellow Daze
    • FAM Disco – Distant Planet

    Pure disco-house pressure.

    The kind of section where nobody leaves the floor.

    🌃 Late Night Club Energy

    As the night deepens, the sound leans into heavier club grooves:

    • Stretch & Vern – I’m Alive (Friend Within Remix)
    • Midlife, CC:DISCO! – Musica (CC:DISCO! Dub)
    • Serge Funk – Groovy Theme
    • Me & My Toothbrush – Havin’ A Good Time

    By now the dancefloor is locked.

    Sweaty.
    Hands in the air.
    Pure Discothèque Decadence.

    🌌 The Emotional Close

    As the night finally begins to soften, the final stretch brings a more reflective mood.

    • Jason Herd, NIGHTLAB, Kathy Brown – Win Your Love (J’s Bohemian Disco Remix)
    • Black Hawks of Panama – Wrapped
    • LUXXURY – Strangely Familiar

    And then the final moment…

    ✨ Joris Voorn – Ryo

    A beautiful, emotional closer that lets the energy dissolve into something deeper.

    The lights come up.
    The night ends with feeling.

    🖤 Best enjoyed:

    • late night dancefloors
    • afters sessions
    • long drives home
    • headphone listening at 3am
    • or when the party refuses to end

    ❄️ This 7.5 hour session closes the Discothèque Decadence 2025/26 winter season.

    The dancefloor returns at Easter, when the series reopens for the 2026 spring and summer season. 🌙

    Valentine’s Nu Disco House Party - Discothèque Decadence DD017

    15/02/2026 | 1h 33 mins.
    Valentine’s Nu-Disco House Party 💘

    Love is in the air… but tonight it’s riding a velvet bassline.

    This journey opens exactly where the magic begins — with Ministry Of Funk’s ‘Gypsy Lover (Soul Mix)’, a silky, loved-up rework inspired by Crystal Waters’ iconic ‘Gypsy Woman’, instantly setting the tone for what follows: warm grooves, late-night energy and pure dancefloor romance.

    From there, the mix glides through a hand-picked selection of nu-disco and soulful house gold. Brian Tappert’s rework of Kano’s ‘Can’t Hold Back (Your Loving)’ keeps things bubbling early, before the modern disco sparkle arrives via Jean Aubergine & Dave Lee’s ‘Disco Numberwang (Yuksek Remix)’.

    The French touch elegance continues as Fred Falke reshapes The Whitest Boy Alive’s ‘Golden Cage’, while the soul runs deep with Lisa Shaw’s ‘I Can See It (Miguel Migs Salted Vocal Mix)’ — pure sunset-to-midnight energy.

    Further into the ride, Revival House Project ft. Phebe Edwards’ ‘Think (Michael Gray Remix)’ lifts the temperature, before dancefloor royalty steps in with Jamiroquai’s ‘Canned Heat (Dimitri From Paris Remix)’ — all champagne fizz and mirrorball glow.

    The closing stretch keeps the lovers locked in, with deep cuts from Never Dull, Hotmood, Babert and Ken@Work, before the mix signs off in style with Cerrone’s ‘Give Me Love (Louie Vega Remix Edit)’ — a classy, soulful finish that lands exactly where it should.

    Inside the mix you’ll find:

    • French touch polish
    • soulful house elegance
    • modern nu-disco heat
    • loved-up vocal moments
    • and a few cheeky bonus surprises for the heads…

    Whether it’s date night, pre-drinks, kitchen disco or headphones-on escapism… this one was built for movement and mood.

    Press play.
    Turn it up.
    Let the groove do the flirting.

    If it hits the sweet spot — save it, share it, and send it to someone who needs a little disco love.

    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.

    Festive Nu Disco House Party - Discothèque Decadence DD015

    21/12/2025 | 2h
    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.
