From House To Disco has been serving up their own timeless take on house and disco for a decade. The Brazilian pair always manage to join the dots between the past, present and future with a great understanding of what moves a dance floor, which is why they have been selected for this superb retrospective of the Definitive catalogue. In that time, they have played all of Brazil’s most cultured clubs and festivals from D-EDGE to Festa Selvagem as well as visiting parties from Time Warp, Piknic Electronik and Glitterbox and across Europe at places like ADE. As they dive deep into the Definitive Recordings vault to curate the best of the label with the release of ‘Disco House For All’ compilation, DMCWorld goes Back To Mine with From House To Disco.
Black Box – Dreamland
A classic among classics, Black Box’s debut album featuring vocals by Martha Wash, is almost mandatory in the collection of any house music lover.
Bohannon – Summertime Groove
Straight from 1978, this album is a delight of funk and disco music, featuring the standout track “Let’s Start the Dance”, sung by Carolyn Crawford.
Fernanda Abreu – Sla Radical Dance Disco Club
A pivotal moment in Brazilian dance music, this album blends Brazilian rhythms with electronic influences like disco, trip hop, house, and funk carioca, it’s a masterpiece.
Soichi Terada presents Sounds From the Far East
Rush Hour struck gold with Soichi Terada’s compilation featuring his 80s and 90s Japanese electronic music alongside Shinichiro Yokota—each track better than the last!
The S.O.S. Band – Sands of Time
We discovered the R&B and electro-funk band through ‘Just Be Good to Me’ and received ‘The Finest’ single as a gift, which led us to cherish ‘Sands of Time’ in our collection.
Massive Attack – Blue Lines
We’re thankful every day to have been born in the era of Daddy G, 3D, and Mushroom. ‘Unfinished Sympathy’ on this album is among the greatest electronic music songs of all time.
Depeche Mode – Music for the Masses
One of our biggest references, to listen on repeat without getting tired. Our favorites are “Strangelove” and “Behind the Wheel”.
Kraftwerk – Tour de France
A stylish comeback after nearly two decades, this album is above all elegant and sophisticated, our favorite from the godfathers of electronic music.
S’Express – Original Soundtrack
Hello, hello, clubbers! S’Express reflects like no one else the essence of 80s club culture, blending house, acid house, funk, and disco all in one album.
Prince – Purple Rain
Among the most influential albums in pop and rock history, it’s a cliché, but too good to ignore. Our favorites are ‘When Doves Cry’ and ‘I Would Die 4 U’.
