Hi friends!
This week, we’re wrapping up a delightful series of Sessions and Guest Selections from recent posts.
September’s Guest Selections feature an iconic Italian DJ duo that made me dance in Firenze to an uplifting mix of the diverse music we love.
This month’s Guest Selectors are:

Enjoy their fine dance floor oriented selections for the week:
You're The One - Rashawn (D & R Records, 1985)
#Disco #Boogie
Eternal Love: Our first choice is "Rashawn - You're the one"—a rare boogie gem with irresistibly smooth grooves. The track kicks off with a captivating intro, blending funky basslines with sweet, soulful vocals that instantly transport you to an emotional closing dance floor in the '80s. The song's uniqueness lies not just in its rarity but in the emotional connection it creates—it's the kind of track that sticks with you long after the final note fades. Finding the 45 version in New York on our last trip felt like unearthing a treasure. The rarity of this track makes it a true collector’s piece, and its near-impossible mixability adds to the challenge and excitement of spinning it live. It's a track that encapsulates the thrill of digging and the joy of discovering something truly special.
Changes - Marlon McClain (Fantasy, 1981)
#Boogie #Disco #Fusion #Jazz-Funk
Eternal Love: Our second choice is the entire album "Changes" by Marlon McClain. This album is a fantastic blend of fusion, boogie, jazz, and funk, offering everything you could want in a groove. Each track is packed with smooth basslines, slick guitar riffs, and soulful melodies that effortlessly pull you in. While it’s not a rare find, this album is special because of its flawless execution and timeless sound. It perfectly captures the essence of its era, making it a go-to record that never gets old. Whether you're chilling at home or looking to get lost in a groove, "Changes" delivers every time.
Star Of My Life - Vocal ‘81

Altered Soul Experiment party @ OHM Berlin - Patrick Gibin, Sanctuary, Amila (2016)
#Boogie #House #Broken Beat #Jazz Funk #Soulful House
Eternal Love: Our third choice is this mix recorded live by Patrick Gibin at Altered Soul Experiment. We crank this up every time we're driving to a gig in Italy. It's the perfect road trip soundtrack, blending classic tunes with rare vibes, all seamlessly mixed by one of the best in the game. This mix captures the essence of what we love about DJing—timeless tracks combined with a fresh twist. Patrick Gibin nails it, creating a vibe that’s both nostalgic and new. Big upppp to Patrick for this gem!
Don't Stop The Feelin' (Raw 70's Mix) - Glenn Underground Featuring Terence FM (Cajual Records, 1996)
#Deep House
Eternal Love: Our fourth choice is "Don't Stop The Feelin' (Raw 70's Mix)" by the legend Glenn Underground, released on Cajual. This track might not be widely known, but it perfectly embodies what a house tune should be. With its deep, soulful groove, it works every time on the dance floor, effortlessly getting the crowd moving. Glenn Underground captures the raw energy of the '70s while infusing it with that timeless house vibe. Whether it’s a packed club or an intimate gathering, this track never fails to elevate the atmosphere.
ADE @ Red Light Radio - DJ Vegetable (2017)
#Eclectic #Boogie #World #Experimental
Eternal Love: Our last choice is this mix from DJ Vegetable on Red Light Radio during ADE 2017, a cherished artefact from a legendary moment in underground music. Known for its eclectic selection of rare and undiscovered gems, the mix gained notoriety as tracks from it were later incorporated into other sets, highlighting its influence. Red Light Radio, a now-defunct but legendary venue in Amsterdam's music scene, served as a cultural hub for experimental and niche sounds. This set exemplifies its spirit, showcasing DJ Vegetable’s ability to unearth and present music that resonates far beyond its original broadcast.
That’s all for this week. I hope you liked the selections :D
Stay groovy,
Dudier
