Saturday Dance Party: THP Orchestra – Dancing is Alright

THP Orchestra’s third LP, aptly titled THP 3 is one of my all time favorite dance records. The summer of 1979 was awesome in terms of the music coming out. And then “disco” died, but after a brief hiatus, reincarnated as “dance music.” (I remember how my DJ friend Steve used to roll his eyes at the term.)

When I first heard Patrick Cowley’s Megatron Man in 1981, I knew the genre—whatever you wanted to call it—was back, stronger and better than ever.

Friday Dance Party: Le Pamplemousse – Le Spank

Continuing on the Rinder & Lewis groove of the past few days…

Back in the day, a DJ acquaintence of mine from the Gay Students Organization at the University of Arizona used to mix this with some audio tracks he lifted off a gay S&M porn video.

Let’s just say it worked.

I often wonder whatever happened to the guy. At this point I don’t even remember his name, but I was wicked jealous of his gear. (No, not that gear, you dirty birds—although I know we hooked up at least once—even if I have no direct memory of the encounter beyond going to dinner and ending up back in his bedroom.) I mean his stereo gear.
