This is a true essential! It sums up everything I like about disco, this dry repetitive minimalistic beat. This is disco emerald. Back to the basic beats of disco! No fuss no muss!

 | Undercover Lover by Debbie Jacobs
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $31.42 I love this fast, sexy tune! Reminds me a little bit of The S.O.S. band mixed up with a female Wild Cherry. A sadly forgotten little miracle...

Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $1.40 "Lovin' is really my game" - Brainstorm
Find it on "Studio 54"/OST
It's real hard to find the album on which this song originally was released ("Stormin'", 1977, RCA) so go check out this soundtrack where it's featured.
Lovely swift disco with perky Motown feel to it. A huge hit in its days, but why hardly never on compilations?

 | Best of Gino Soccio by Gino Soccio
Buy new: $21.53 / Used from: $15.50 "Try it out"-Gino Soccio

Elegant, beautiful disco anthem, one of my all time favourites. It reminds me of Steely Dan in its precise delicacy.

 | Risqué by Chic
Buy new: $8.96 / Used from: $3.60 "What about me"-Chic
Find it on the classic album "Risqué" - well, this is disco that everybody digs and knows about. Maybe the biggest disco band with an enormous impact on modern dance music, hiphop, and even rock/pop. All songs are incredible. This is a milestone.

 | Native New Yorker by Odyssey
Buy new: $14.97 / Used from: $11.22 "Inside out" - Odyssey
Find it on "Native New Yorker"
If I could pick some songs to a "Sex and the City" episode, this sad, elegant and truly magic tune would be a matter of course. I was lucky enough to find a nice 12" vinyl when I was 20, and it's been favourite of mine since then.

 | Bad Girls by Donna Summer
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.50 "Sunset People"-Donna Summer
Find it on: "Bad Girls"
Toot toot hey beep beep! Great album and "Sunset people" is one of Georgio Moroder's masterpieces. The dry beat, the listless song and lyrics... It has a very Kraftwerk-y feel to it, but I think this really beats those Germans.

Listmania!
