Dawn of the Party Solstice

It's official now! June 5th marks the start of party season. Now we can all go party hunting without fear of our party licenses being revoked. There's no limit to what we can't accomplish now!

We wouldn't want to come in to the game too heavily, so I'd peruse the disco section for tracks like "Dancing on the Moon" from Bloc Sonic's Anaxagoras compliation. It bridges the gap between the vivacity of Xanadu and the "1980's vision of what 1994 will be like" of The Apple.

And rather than spend this year's party season watching The Apple over and over again, I'd suggest picking up the pace with the most recent comp, Monsters of Cock Rock from DJ Donna Summer's (aka Jason Forrest) Cock Rock Disco imprint. Every track works in a reverse party format, where it's assumed you are already hungover and by the time you get to the end of the song, you're ready take on the night again.

DJs, promoters, bartenders take note: If you're ever at a point where you need to put the party faculties of your audience through a less than courteous gauntlet, play the track below.
