Painted Eyes

Happy Saturday! The weather is stunning today in our beloved city and here is a treat from the amazing disco and house revivalists Hercules & Love Affair. "Painted Eyes" is by far their best single from their recently released LP Blue Songs. Soon to be released as a single which will featured several amazing remixes by In Flagranti, Wolfram and Maxxi Soundsystem. I got to hear a teaser of the remix from Maxxi Soundsystem and it will blow you away. Click here to listen. Overall it's such a beautiful song unlike anything I've heard in a long time with a hard pounding bass, dramatic and potent vocals by performance artist Aerea Negrot evoking the late Sylvester and other late '80s House "Divos". This song is a must for 2011! Enjoy

About Dj Glamjack

"More More More" by Andrea True Connection was the first disco record I owned, I was 9 years old and I would play this song on my plastic record player all day! The rest is disco history. Disco has been a life long passion for me and has never ended as I continue to discover "more, more, more" amazing disco tracks that never saw the light outside the disco halls and dance floors. Just like a dedicated monk illuminating rare manuscripts, I hope to share and enlighten you on the wealth of rare, the not so rare and the left field dance music from the 70's, 80's and 90's. Also, featuring some of the latest dance releases and oddities worth noticing of now. Files will be up for a limited time and suggestions are always welcomed! Enjoy
