FSQ 2023 DJ Mix for Discotheke Party
FSQ is blessed with the privilege to join the Discotheke party - thrown by Rej Dhingra (aka January Black) and Parker Maass. It takes place roughly monthly in Los Angeles at Apotheke LA.
We kicked off the Discotheke party’s mix series in March 2023 and we believe it’s the best representation of our own FSQ productions set against a palette of other dance music jams across BPMs, tempos, musical moods and genres. The mix description follows, then the mix and track list. Please share this mix with a friend or bring it to a larger crew to turn your party out, and bring a bit of Discotheke x FSQ to the masses.
FSQ x Discotheke Mix Description:
FSQ DJ sets are helmed by the group's leader, Chuck Da Fonk, and extend into some of the funkiest corners of dance music, where you'll hear deep Balearic grooves, rare P-Funk sides, 80s boogie funk, uncommon new wave 12"s, and modern underground house cuts.
For this exclusive mix for the Discotheke party, Chuck captures some of the vibe he brought to his last appearance in early 2022. Laced with two hours of funk leaning jams, this mix explores some of the deeper FSQ productions including the group's remix work for Nona Hendryx and Nick Monaco, and FSQ collaborations with European based nu-disco producers Alan Dixon, Colleen Cosmo Murphy, Yam Who?, and Birdee.
Classic funk from George Clinton sits alongside New York City disco-not-disco cuts by Kid Creole & The Coconuts and Yello. 80's dance jams by Thomas Dolby and Duran Duran are foisted up against fresh new releases by modern nu-disco artists Midnight Magic, Tigerbalm, and Rheinzand. With so much music in the FSQ record bag, it's always hard to choose what to put into a DJ mix, but the Discotheke party is about dancing, disco vibes, and a persistent groove, which this Chuck Da Fonk selected set certainly delivers over the course of two hours.
