2009 has been quite a year for us all here at Cosmic Disco… After having the pleasure of playing at Glastonbury on behalf of The Guardian it seemed like the music world had picked up on the ‘Cosmic Disco’ bandwagon and pinned the label onto everything from underground club nights (Every flyer seemed to have [...]
After a couple of years pouring over some of the incredible selections as featured on the ‘Space Oddities‘ compilation series or picking up on a few of his amazing mixes that are floating around the web, we just had to make contact with Alexis Le-Tan, renowned record collector and part of the infamous Tigersushi Bass [...]
80 Minutes of House and Techno. Proper Mixmag yeah. Perfect for those awkward ‘what do we play whilst we’re eating Christmas Lunch’ moments.

In preparation for the 2010 Red Bull Music Academy (Taking place in London Feb 7th to March 12), the guys over at RBMA recently contacted us and asked if we would like access to their entire lecture archive with the objective to pick out a standout lecture and slice the best bits into a digestible [...]
Firstly, apologies for those waiting on the October and November editions of the Makin Music podcast as the last edition was back in September when we were invited to host a show on Salford City FM for the Radio NuBoogie programme.

Every record has its B side, and on many occasions you are subjected to some weak musical effort. Not the case here. Now with their second release, Voyeurhythm Holland prove to be up to date with the so-called [...]
Last month good friend and Italians Do It Better label owner; Mike Simonetti, was in town DJ’ing so we decided to hook up for a few hours and head out to north Manchester for a late afternoon dig around the used record stores. As a result we found some stunning pieces of vinyl of which [...]
I have been championing this track for some time now. Initially released on cult and elitist label Whatever We Want at an extortionate price, the 12″ disappeared quickly from the shops and just added to the myth of a song that did not need it because it stands on its own league.

About 18 months ago a mix was posted up on DJHistory by Belson – a hazy selection of Folk Rock, downtempo Soul grooves and psychedelic otherwordly sounds.
