What could be better than starting into 2010 listening to the second radio mix by dj supermarkt (marcus / le hammond inferno / bungalow!) digging deep in the LA´s 70ies Softrock Disco.
Here´s what Rough Trade says...:
the la softrockers return, but find out they are 'too slow to disco' yet. the california singer / songwriter suddenly got attracted to rhythm and slowly start to move their feet. this mix captures them shortly before going completly disco! this time we find: an ex-monkee rapping, a weird erotic christmas song by georgie fame, the 70s 'super-studio-group' the attitudes, who played on thousands of records, and commercial breaks by frank zappa, jefferson airplane, spliff (the nina hagen band), plus lots more other forgotten diamonds. enjoy and take the trip.
