Born in the Golden Sixties in a small town in Belgium, I grew up as a
teen with disco music in the late seventies. It started by watching
the Dutch channel Top 40 and the BBC Top 40. I very much liked the
beats. Gloria Gaynor was my biggest Diva at age 13 when Never Can Say
Goodbye was released. I was (and still am) very fond of this song. I
bought the record and the ball started rolling. At age 15, I
discovered AFN radio and BBC. On Sunday’s I always listened to the Top
40, in which I heard the new disco songs. I was on top of music which
was not yet released in Europe. I remember I was the first one at
school to know Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah’s Band Cherchez La
Femme. Some months later, it became a hit in Europe. With the Science
Fiction craze in the seventies, Meco’s disco adaption of Star Wars was
released. The combination of SF themes and disco was amazing at that
time and every weekend I started to go to the record store and found
gems from Alec Costandinos, France Joli, Meco, Boris Midney to name a
few. At that time Donna Summer became a Diva too and I discovered her
records and found also Giorgio Moroder’s From Here to Eternity, one of
my favorite records. And I was on the dance-floor when I turned 18 in
the later seventies, unfortunately at the end of the disco era.
My
record collection started to grow. With the eighties, disco was
disappearing but I still searched for the good old disco records up
till now. We still are strolling record fairs, Ebay and flea markets
to find long lost disco music. I also moved with the dance scene and
always was interested in the new genres like Italo Disco, New Beat in
the eighties and House music in the nineties, even some of the hardcore
and “gabber” house I like. As long as there is a good beat to the
music, I like it.
In the 2000s, I found internet radio through
live365. Through this medium, I got to know VJC and we started to chat
and found a lot of common interest in the disco/dance music. I am
grateful to have VJC as a good friend. One day in 2006, he asked to
make a disco mix. Having never mixed music in my life, I wondered how
to compile a mix. Having many songs on MP3 already, I used my software
to mix the songs. The software also allowed me to clean the recording
from most of the cracks and clicks. VJC liked the mixes, and started
to play them on his internet radio (www.live365.com/stations/vjc935).
It was a good feeling to hear your own mix over the internet radio.
Since then, I compiled several long mixes and then I started out to
remix songs. This came with finding Glenn Rivera’s Shades of Seventies
webpage (http://www.shadesofseventies.com).
It was amazing to listen to the songs he restructured and remixed.
Trying to follow his footsteps, I remixed short songs of less then 5
minutes to timings of 10 to 15 minutes, using the 12” and LP versions,
cutting, pasting, restructuring, making loops with my software. My
first remix was Karen Young’s Hot Shot, a disco house remix of the
song. I am rather new to mixing music, and can still be called an
amateur compared to persons I started to know over the internet. But
it is sure interesting to analyse the songs and try to blend them
together into a mix or remix. Thanks to Glenn and VJC for their
support and all my friends on Multiply (http://oddworld0406.multiply.com), with whom we share our music and memories of the good old Disco Era.

Here's MixMasteMax From New Jersey LOOK Out For His Slammin' Mixes NOW Heard ON Disco935 NY
I was there in the beginning of the Disco era. With the help of my friends and fake ID I would visit all the Discotheques in and around the New York area (See list of Fav Disco's below). While in the clubs I would talk to the DJ's and eventually got to know some of them well. Before the record pools started, I would grab the latest wax from The Colony or Under The Stairs record shops and persuade the DJ's to play them that night. I was into dancing and as a result I never pursued my dream of DJ'ing. We all make decisions and sometimes we regret the opportunities that got away. Much later in life I realized my dream by DJ'ing on New York radio for millions of people to hear. I still love the art of mixing but only as recreational therapy and for friends who love good Classic Disco Dance music. I hope you enjoy listening to my mixes and great Classic Disco music.
My Fav Discotheques:
Kon-Tiki – Grand Ballroom - Ice Palace – 12 West – Adonis – Bonds – Elephas – Fudgey's – Funhouse – Hippopotammus – Infinity – Ipanema – Le Jardin – Adams Apple – Regine's – Limelight – The Monastery – Uncle Sams – The Soap Factory – Palladium – Pegasus – Red Parrot – Sanctuary – Sound Machine – Starship Discovery – Studio 54 – Tropicalia - *I am sure I missed some..*
My Fav Disco Music:
Early Rare Disco – especially the Acetates and 7'' which never made it to LP's.
Of course, I love everything that came after and I would need three pages to list the artists.

Welcome Nick DiSalvo From New York
Doing His Old School Jams
Nick DiSalvo (a.k.a. DJ Nicky Dee) is a self-taught disk jockey from New York City with nearly 25 years of experience. In 1984, at the early age of 14, Nick began to dedicate many hours each day on a pair of budget turntables learning and perfecting the skills of mixing, cueing, beat matching, cutting and scratching. He began to build a local reputation through the distribution of mixed tapes and performing live sets at local parties. Through money earned, Nick was able to upgrade his recording equipment piece by piece and begin to build upon what would become one of the largest collections of classic disco in the area. 4 years later, he founded "TNT Productions," a full service mobile disk jockey company that performed regularly at weddings, block parties and other large affairs. At the same time, Nick became a regular jock in various nightclubs local to New York City and Long Island, NY, including Wave Street, The Bay Club, Quintessence, Giggles, and the on-campus disco at Hofstra University. Though the style of music was evolving into other forms, such as Latin Freestyle, House, Electro and even Techno, Nick remained true to his roots, and often "turned back the clock" to that classic era wherever he performed. These days, family life comes first and Nick is not nearly as active a DJ as he once was... but that doesn't prevent him from escaping once in a while to record a dance mix in the small mixing studio in his home. Disco 935 has enabled him to share his creations with many others once again...
