There are only a few survivors from the ‘heyday of mp3 blogs’ (circa 2008): Keytars & Violins, Palms Out, Discobelle and a small handful of others are still going strong. Aussie-based Disco Delicious is another, and undoubtedly one of the best, continuing to unearth obscure disco and house gems – albeit with increasingly infrequent posts.
DD‘s warm and tasteful mix is littered with some of our favourite house tracks from the likes of Max Graef, KDJ, Simba and MCDE. As the man behind Disco Delicious puts it: “There’s some Melbourne-via-Detroit sort of cosy deep house that eventually bleeds into some more open-aired atmossy stuff.”
In other words, it’s rather good.
