Groovy disco dancing...

So was along at Al Kent's new album "Disco Love 3" launch last Saturday in Glasgow, what a night!! 4 hours of amazing tunes AND a free goodie bag (well to the first 50 and yes I was sad enough to get there far too early to bag myself one of those beauties!) which included 2 patches, stickers and a free CD! So it would be rude not to play a few tunes off it right?


So on this weeks Tunes of The Unexpected show, I thought I'd have an indulgence week of soul, disco and funk... and a spot of hip hop... The tracklisting was:


  1. Paul Cacia – Saved by your love
  2. Orange Juice – Rip it up (The Starkiller edit) DOWNLOAD
  3. The JB's – Pass the peas
  4. The Mighty Gents – Mighty Gents
  5. Sisters Love – Give me your love
  6. Quincy Jones – Stuff like that
  7. Chaka Khan – I know you, I live you
  8. Arrested Development – man's final frontier
  9. Rick James – You and I
  10. Queen Latifah & De La Soul – Mama gave birth to the soul children
