My picks from human being they call Magnetic Soul. Here’s what he has to say: “Promoter and dj for Floatation nights in Birmingham running for 7 years breaking the mold of predictable safe music in the midlands mixing a pure underground deep house night with disco balearic back room in an all night gay pub. “. Oh and yes indeed, these are edits/re-edits.

Edits, edits, edits. Those secret weapons of working DJ’s. Sometimes so lame, sometimes just so right. Here’s DJ KiMO and selected one’s from him. All 320kbit mp3s.
Dhafer Youssef — Cantus Lamentus (DJ KiMO’s House Dub) by DJ KiMO
Kajagoogoo — Too Shy (DJ KiMO’s Dub Re-Edit) by DJ KiMO
Toto Coelo — Milk From The Coconut (DJ KiMO’s Oxygen Re-Edit) by DJ KiMO
Get this, Rayko has 71 edits in his SoundCloud page. One might argue about whether all of them are necessary. I’ll say that not every one of them is needed but most of them are useful for dj sets. Releasing them on vinyl is a whole another matter…
Russ Ballard — voices (rayko edit) by Rayko
Two tracks by Russ Ballard became instant favorites for me when I was watching Miami Vice re-runs a year ago: Voices and In The Night. Can’t beat the 80s montages.
Some soundcloud favorites of lately. All available for download.
Christopher Cross– Ride Like The Wind (SMQEdit) by SleazyMcQueen
Idris Muhammad — Could Heaven Ever Be Like This (Leftside Wobble Edit) by Leftside Wobble
Carmen — Time to move (Rayko edit) by Rayko
Out Of Touch (Matty C 2010 edit) by DJ_Matty_C
Oh yeah and I’m playing records tonight at Bar Om’pu. Come and feel the groove!
Even though Morgan says contemporary disco edits are “really boring”, these edits are not. Nicolas Jaar (Wolf + Lamb) made these reworks available for free. That’s right. Head to the Wolf+Lamb site and download, there are other free stuff too.
