Janet. Miss Jackson, if you’re nasty. On this day back in 1989, she hit #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart with this absolute gem.

Cela était lié au quota de musique francophone que les radios françaises devaient diffuser. Elles ne pouvaient pas passer tous les hits internationaux, ce qui laissait de la place aux artistes français pour promouvoir leur propre version.

YouTube video by Patti LaBelle - Topic Turn It Out

And you thought Labelle were only active at the dawn of disco in the early seventies with classics like “Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi”. But they made a comeback in the nineties, and on this day in 1994, “Turn It Out” hit #1 on the Billboard Club Chart.

YouTube video by Andre St. Lawrence Stephanie Mills - The Medicine Song [1984]

A few weeks ago, we celebrated one of Stephanie Mills’ finest tracks hitting number one on the UK dance charts. On this day back in 1984, it also topped the Billboard Club Play chart. Let’s mark the occasion with this rare clip of her performing the song on Soul Train. #funk #music #musicsky

YouTube video by Renee Kelly Boney M. - Rasputin (Official Video)

Say what you want about Boney M — they made some brilliant early disco, but also a few toe-curlers
Where does Rasputin fit in that?
Today would’ve been dancer Bobby Farrell’s birthday… he passed away in 2010

Didn't know that CAL, but you are right!

YouTube video by BR MUSIC 5000 Volts - I'm On Fire

Exactly 50 years ago, this gem hit number one on the UK dance charts. It was just before my “disco coming out” 😂, but I already had strong feelings for this kind of music, and my mother kindly bought me the single. I played it until the grooves wore out.

You can never go wrong with the classic ones. Will do an episode on Beatbox soon!

YouTube video by Art Of Noise The Art of Noise featuring Duane Eddy - Peter Gunn (Official Video)

Art of Noise had a short but successful run in the eighties, scoring several dancefloor hits. On this day in 1986, they even topped the Billboard Dance Chart with their remix and rework of Duane Eddy’s Peter Gunn.

What’s your favourite Art of Noise track?

Time to pull that leopard skin out of the cupboard (even if it doesn’t quite fit anymore) 🐆, because today we’re rewinding to this day in 1981, when The Quick hit No. 1 with this gem. They had a handful of dancefloor hits… can you name any of the others?

Can I tempt you with a mixed set of 1987 Synth-Funk & Freestyle? 🎶 It’s the soundtrack to today’s new episode of The Twelve Inch Newsletter, featuring Company B’s “Fascinated.”

Step back onto the 1987 dancefloor and indulge in the sound of the era:

Her solo work is really overlooked. That album was stronger than Dr. Buzzard’s second one—and she’s such a great singer!

Another solid one!

✨ This day in 1976 ✨
Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band hit #1 on the Billboard dance chart with Cherchez La Femme, Sour & Sweet + I’ll Play the Fool.

Found a TV clip with Cory Daye, a young August Darnell (Kid Creole) & Andy Hernandez (Coati Mundi). Pure gold! 🎶

I can imagine 😁 Didn't know they still toured. Jeffrey's the only original member I presume?

And rightfully so 😁

YouTube video by AmyLeeObsessed01 Erotic City by Prince (uncensored)

📀 This day in 1984 Prince hit #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart with Let’s Go Crazy. 🤔 Not exactly a dance track, right?

The secret? The B-side 👉 Erotic City (Prince + Sheila E = 🔥).

Which side do you spin first?

😁 That's one of the bands I never had the pleasure of seeing live.

YouTube video by ABCVEVO ABC - Be Near Me

Big ABC fan here 🎶 Their third album might be their 2nd best. No big pop hits in the Benelux, but across the pond this track went all the way to #1 on the Billboard dance chart—exactly 40 years ago today.

👉 Can you name another single from How To Be A Zillionaire?

45 years ago today Geraldine Hunt’s “Can’t Fake the Feeling” hit No.1 on the Billboard dance chart 🎶
It stayed there for 7 weeks straight

It didn’t impress me at first… but the dancefloor thought otherwise 😅

Did you love this one back in 1980?

A day late, but worth it—yesterday Bryan Ferry turned 80 🎂
One of my musical heroes with an incredible body of work.

To celebrate, I’m spinning a favorite from his Bête Noire album (with a killer 12” mix).
