The night begins with a slow burn… Greg Wilson’s version of Love Is the Drug by Roxy Music — a timeless groove celebrating 50 years of a record that still drips with danger, desire, and velvet allure. 🥀✨
From there, we slide deeper into the pulse — smooth edits, late-night disco burners, and grooves built to make the floor melt. Raw Silk’s Just in Time gets a lush lift with Michael Gray on the remix, setting the tone for a night where every beat is a touch, every bassline a whisper.
D.C. LaRue’s Cathedrals — wrapped in that classic Dave Lee disco extension — unfurls like a velvet curtain. Rhyze’s Do Your Dance slides in with that Moodena bounce, the kind of track that makes hips talk without words.
We keep the energy hot with The Shapeshifters’ Slippery People featuring Ramona Renea & Fiorious — Sophie Lloyd turning it into pure sweat and seduction.
The night’s heartbeat hits its stride with Phyllis Hyman’s You Know How to Love Me (Dave Lee’s Extended Disco Mix) — a record that glides like silk and bites like champagne bubbles.
Then… D.C. LaRue returns with Do You Want the Real Thing in an Opolopo rework that’s all heat and no hesitation.
Finally, we bring it home with disco royalty — Candido’s Dancin’ and Prancin’ (The Reflex Revision) and The Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra’s Step Into My Life — a one-two punch designed to keep you locked in the groove, body to body, beat to beat.
This is Lovers Groove.
Where disco sweats, seduces, and never says goodnight. 🖤🪩

The Funk Assassin’s Cosmic Disco Groove: Record Store Day 2025 Mix
This 6-hour odyssey was recorded live under strawberry lights on Record Store Day 2025—a true celebration of sound, spirit, and vinyl culture.
Crafted for movement and mood—whether you’re warming up for a night out, vibing on the beach, driving with the windows down, grooving through a BBQ, lifting at the gym, or drifting through the afters—this mix is also music for sunsets, sunrise, and star gazing.
It opens with a 90-minute global groove excursion: eclectic rhythms and rare gems from across continents, laying the foundation for what follows.
From there, the main body locks into a deep groove—pushing boundaries with funk, soul, disco, Italo, Balearic, and house. Blending hip hop with house, mixing in G-Funk, Latin flavours, French Touch, psychedelic funk, R&B and shimmering electronics—layered with bold brass, grooving guitars, sweeping string sections, and deep funky basslines.
The final chapter? A high-energy electronic crescendo that brings the dancers together before landing in a loving groove.
This is a groove fest through sound—eclectic, emotional, and unforgettable.
