DIKSOF 016 - Death On The Balcony - In.tune.itions EP

DIKSO welcomes 2014 with an EP from DEATH ON THE BALCONY, two handsome boys from London that perfectly fit in the gap between the different styles that Dikso is all about. Their biography sounds like that their way sooner or later had to lead to Dikso. Let’s celebrate this meeting at the crossways of musical history with three brandnew original tracks plus a remix from Dikso landlord Daniel Solar.

Tracklisting:
01 – Speak On The Subject / TT 07:36
02 – Make My Move / TT 07:13
03 – Heart For Rent / TT 08:04
04 – Heart For Rent (Daniel Solar Remix) / TT 07:36

DiKSO Podcast 13 - Magnier [House Of Disco]

Just another Summer Of Love...

As you may have noticed already, we at Dikso headquarters are totally in love with The House Of Disco, David Magnier's label for the future in house and disco. To fill the summer with some love Dikso and The House Of Disco created a label-mash-up-compilation called House Of Dikso that topped the charts at Junodownload and was also pretty successful on all the other platforms like Beatport and Traxsource. But this was not their first collaboration, Daniel and Andi's disco house roller "Seventh" was also released under the House Of Disco banner and can still be found in Beatport's Nu-Disco top 100 (for almost 2 months and counting...).

Now, here is the return visit: Magnier on Dikso. Have fun with 60 minutes of pure bliss he sent over the channel to Berlin, and now from Berlin right into your hearts. Tracklisting is still shut away, only MI5 knows!

DiKSO Tape 01 - Terrence Parker (1996)

History... We all know about the almighty creators of electronic music. They were important for everyone even though we did not know them in their time. In most cases they have not influenced us in a direct way but for sure they did. These stories have been written countless times and you all know them.

What I want to talk about are the direct influences and inspirations. Do you remember when friends took you to your first techno party? Or your bigger brother who had a huge record collection you was lurking when he was at school? Sometimes there were small and simple things that could lead you in a completly different direction. Like a mixtape and this is what DiKSO Tape is about.

The first issue in this new DiKSO section is a tape that I have listened more than a hundred times. It is a recording of an (for me) unknown radio show from Detroit with DJ extraordinaire Terrence Parker from the mid nineties.

Disco House was not that new in 1996 and already the big thing in my hometown Hannover but this tape was different. Terrence Parker combined the old and the new in a way that elaborated and pointed out the historical connection of disco, italo and house. Okay, the heavy scratch and transformer action is not everybody's cup of tea but it's fun, fun, fun! So, this is how a simple but special mixtape became the inspiration for me to collect soul, funk and disco and search for the history of house music in a time house music wasn't even born.
