I’m a little nervous after listening to Gant and Tre’s previous episodes. I will try and keep up with them. Tune in or find it in the archive on THEFACERADIO.COM

Heaven Can Wait – Sandra
Either you remember it and love it or you are just really impressed by a synth pan-flute. Either way, Italo says summer to me….and popsicles. It definately says popsicles…being served on the dancefloor…that’s another post entirely.
More Music And Memories
This mix is sorta more of the same as the last one, like the one I played at Martin Keehn last week. There was too much, it needed a supplement. Basically the same songs I have been dancing to for thirty years. LOL. Grandpa still likes to get down…just a little slower at times. Mostly disco tracks, but somehow Adele got right in there too…keep it loose and move around.
Traffic jams, fire trucks and the sounds of what was.
Go ‘head.
Bath House Beats 3 on Spotify
Hope you like ITALO. This is a playlist that is in progress – mostly mid ’80s. Steamy synthesized swish…clean towels and free water. The soundtrack that was the same no matter what city, what country or what continent you happened to be inhabiting that weekend. This is the international sound of gay disco. It plays through the mist that surrounds you now and from the cassette you will take back with you tomorrow. Alone in your premium priced privacy your key bracelet has locked the door and you are secure. Recline and listen hard. Resting and reflecting with eyes toward a ceiling, seeing what you are feeling, you are anywhere at once. You are feeling a new kind of big belonging. Then…
“Attention – Lockers fourteen, nineteen and thirty seven, you must renew. Fourteen, nineteen and thirty seven – you must renew now at the entrance desk.”
(pause)
“Attention, s’il vous plaît – Les casiers 14, 19 et 37 doivent être renouvelés Les casiers quatorze, dix-neuf et trente-sept doivent être remplacés au guichet.”
‘Ouch. That was way too loud.’ Time to take another lap and maybe bum a cigarette. “Wow, this music literally never ends.”

A New Year’s Affirmation Inside A Very Fine Cheese
Enjoy this barely polished, low quality, Hi-definition disco-pop gem from the German “So gay but not gay” duo, Modern Talking. Learn the lyrics and remember them through the coming year.
You Can Win If You Want, If You Want It You Will Win – mantra
You meaning “I” that is, you are you to me but I am me to myself so when I repeat this disco mantra I say “you” but I mean ” I.” right? wait…who am I again?
Valued readers I wish you all a winning new year filled with one finger piano solos, a bold abuse of bronzer and catchy falsetto backups over a throbbing bass that just makes you feel like, “giddy-up ,giddy’up, giddy-up!”
Let’s go!
You can win if you want
If you want it, you will win
On your way you will see that life is more than fantasy
Take my hand, follow me
Oh, you’ve got a brand new friend for your life

It’s Always Italo Time Around Here
Enjoy “Love Is On The Rocks” ( Rhythm Stick Remix ) by Lama.
Rare and essential, this 12″ remix was a favorite of The Saint crowd.
… a Lucio Battisti cover!
Earlene Bentley – Point Of No Return
I owe this one to DJ’s Sister Dimension and Jeffrey Hinton. If you have carpeting, this track will give you a lot of static. ZAPP!
Earlene Bentley, people, a regal New York lady and the best friend of Miquel Brown! She did a duet with Sylvester. Ahkay?
Told.
Great cover. The lips are a masterpiece. Keep it simple.
Does anybody out there have the DUB VERSION? Need it. Want it. Trouble sleeping with out it.
Lorraine McKane – Let The Night Take The Blame
I can’t believe I forgot to play this at the Laforce and Stevens party at The Eagle…
This is truly classic gay disco. It’s like disco Scarlatti. The arpeggios in the breakdown bring the classical drama and the arrangement is superior. The feeling is melancholy but energized – fully alive. The lyrics encourage abandoning your concepts of your own lifetime and living only for “these few hours.” Wow. As I look at it now what seemed then to be so shallow and fleeting appears to be so deep and enduring… or am I (still) just too much?
Ladies and gentlemen, from 1984 and Beyond, Profile Records recording artist, Miss Lorraine McKane…
coming up! Earlene Bentley. And now back to your DJ, Anonymous.

DJ Billy Beyond – Favorite Disco Classics Vol 1
Enjoy over two and a half hours of non-stop funky, swishy, classy New York City style disco-era classics. Every one of them is a personal favorite of mine. These are the exciting sounds and intricate rhythms of Manhattan – City of Satin. The mood is elegant funk that leads us to an elevation in spirit – a higher level of disco-teric understanding. There is celebration in the music but it’s not without it’s natural counterpoint, a certain disco sadness. There are instrumental journeys, empowering chants, soaring vocal duets and there is The Hustle. Throughout the collection there remains an authentic musical mastery of the form that is as powerful and magical today as it was thirty-five years ago.
This is serious disco, people.
“Semper Disco  Semper Boogie  Semper Amare”
My cover model is the embodiment of elegant funk, Miss Pat Cleveland.

Tittle Tattle – Baricentro
Here’s a semi unusual but not rare or entirely unknown track for your growing Italo Disco collection.
Grazie.

Join Me At The Monster NYC for Disco Classics
I’ll be there tonight from 6 to 10 PM filling in for Bunny. The last time I did this the staff freaked out and the dance floor was full from 6:30 onward. I’m not the type to boast so I won’t tell you I received a very gracious and surprising round of applause after my set! I do it all for the dancers.
Come and dance – I’ll be doing it all for you.
The legendary MONSTER NYC – 80 Grove Street – ( Gay Ground Zero )- from 6PM till after dark.
It’s their 32nd Year on the Square , Sheridan Square.
I’ll be there next Sunday too but it might be very crowded after tonight!
