This Friday, 10th June 2011, the COR fam is hitting the road and heading down the coast to Brighton!
The COR DJ’s have been kindly invited by Pablo Contraband to play at the his wonderful Disco Deviant party at Above Audio! And very excited we are.
The party starts at 10pm,

All the details can be found here.
So what this rave crawl all about then, I hear you cry??!
Well, it just so happens that on the same night, Brighton disco heroes GO BANG! are holding one of their now infamous underground warehouse parties, in the warehouse space underneath Brighton train station.
This too is free to get in, and it goes on until after 5am! And as if that weren’t brilliant enough, they have an AMAZING special guess playing! Proper top drawer, premium booking!!
Certainly one not to miss, and we plan not to!! Once we have finished at Above Audio, we will be making a prompt bee line for the GO BANG! warehouse party.
And we want you to come with us!
The COR DJs are planning to get the train up to Brighton around 7pm, have a drink or two around Brighton, then head to Above Audio around 10pm.
After that we’ll be heading to the GO BANG! warehouse party. The train back to Pompey starts at 5am, so after we’ve had ‘one more’ on the GO BANG! DF we’ll be heading upstairs to get the train home.
The more the merrier, so if anyone fancies a cracking night out in Brighton, please feel free to come come along with us!!

A New Year Message From Al Kent!…
January 19th, 2011
Here at COR tower we’re big fans of disco ledge AL KENT. So we were very pleased when he agreed to contribe to our lil ol’ COR blog.
So here’s the first installment from the man himself. Hope you enjoy.
Expect to see more from Al on the COR blog over the coming year….
——————————————————————————
AL KENT’S DISCO RAMBLINGS
Top five best things about 2010:
OK, let’s get the shameless self promotion out of the way first…
I’m currently putting together a handful of albums for BBE, have a new vinyl edits EP on stilove4music (Al Kent “Disco Crazy” – from all good record shops), have four EPs out on Million Dollar Disco, all still available (First Floor EP, Lower East EP, Music Machine EP, Other Side EP), and another two about to go to press, remixes of Katzuma and Clone Records in the pipeline.
But the biggest news ever is our new monthly party.. Rahaan, everybody’s favourite disco jock from Chicago is our resident alongside me. We’re a bit excited.
Street Soul Records
A few years ago Andy Davies kindly sent me a copy of a CD he’d put out, Jerline & Friends “Best of Friends”, which he’d licensed after owning (and loving) a mysterious unissued acetate of the album since the 1970s. I fell in love with it too.
A while later he sent me a 45 (Patrick Henry), and another (Last Flight). And they just kept coming. Turns out what I thought was nothing more than a hobby for Andy is actually now his full time thing.
Giving up a job to run a vinyl only record label in these digital loving times shows he’s passionate about this music (as if we didn’t know that already) and that passion shows on the quality of every single record he puts out.
For the disco purists, “It’s A New Day” by Pulse (SSR5-B) and Jerline‘s version of “Get It Off My Conscience” (SSR6-B) are sure to please.

BBE Records
BBE Records are pushing disco big time this year with comps coming from the likes of Tom Moulton, John Morales, Johnny D, Zaf, Nick The Record and the Peabodies. And me.
Disco Love part Two is already underway as is a Best of Disco Demands. And for those who’ve been asking, the New Million Dollar Orchestra album is also slowly becoming a reality.
Joey Negro
Joey Negro‘s just put together the third in his Soul Of Disco series, this time going it alone without Sean P. Due to drop at the end of February, you can get a taster here:
Z Records
Also on Z is a compilation from London’s as yet unheralded Red Greg. Due to drop in May, I for one am very keen to check the tracklist. Ebonite, the party Red Greg runs with Louis Heel is set to move to Paris very soon. Check these mixe for an idea of what you can expect:
Vintage Audiodelica
There can’t be many places where you can buy a vintage Bozak mixer for less than a pair of Levi’s. But you can at LN-CC. Unfortunately the Levi’s in question cost three grand! But LN-CC looks like a great place – records, vintage bozaks and a fully kitted out music room. Who could ask for more?
The Internet
A couple of things have caught my eye online recently…
Theo Parrish tearing into laptop DJs is nice…
…as is the crazy looking guy from Funktion One talking audio…
My favourite thing this month though is the dancing Andy Gibb doll currently on ebay…
1979 Disco Star Andy Gibb Doll by Ideal in Box!
…I’m still looking out for a Walter Gibbons one!
——————————————————————————
Thanks for that Mr Kent, muchly apprecaited sir. Looking forward to the next installment.
If wanna find out more about what Al is up to, hop on over to his wonderful website for release news, tickets and mixes.
Enjoy!
Big Love.
Lots of Love – Thank You!
