Here’s the video for Moullinex’s fantastic cover of Michael Sembello’s “Maniac” (from the soundtrack of the movie “Flashdance”), which features Peaches on vocals. Taken from the new “Casablanca Reworks” EP, due January 13th on Gomma. For this project The Gomma All Stars (Moullinex, Telonius, Munk, and The Phenomenal Handclap Band) teamed up with Peaches and did four cover versions of songs from the catalogue of legendary Disco label Casablanca Records. Telonius took care of Donna Summer’s “Our Love”, The Phenomenal Handclap Band made a great cover of the classic “Walk The Night”, originally by the Skatt Brothers, and Stephanie Mills’ “You Can’t Run From My Love“ received a treatment by Munk. You can preview the whole thing here.

La.Ga.Sta. offered its services to many weary travellers once more this year. By “following rivers” they drove “through the green” and found themselves in “English Riviera” only to come back again to our station for another refill.
Taking a Friday drive down this year’s memory lane, we think back on our numerous stops including among others:
Our after-hours, absolutely wicked dj set in the VIP room of Melt! Festival. We might have missed Cut Copy’s performance but we certainly had a blast. Shout out to T.E.E.D., Azari & III, Metronomy, Siriusmo, and Planningtorock for their stunning gigs.
The 15-track La.Ga.Sta. Summer Compilation 2011 with lots of exclusives released in August and downloaded by more than 15.000 vroomers in less than a month. Thank you guys!
The La.Ga.Sta mixtapes by the amazing Drop Out Orchestra, CFCF, Das Moth, Pharao Black Magic, Marius, and Mickey. Much appreciated.
Dancing ‘till we dropped with the Can You Relate? team at their super cool parties in Thessaloniki together with The Magician, Shit Robot, Villa, Moullinex, In Flagranti, Acid Washed, and Stopmakingme.
A huge thanks coming out to all of you who filled up our inbox with tons of tunes and mixes, wish we could post them all. Keep them coming.
It’s always such a great pleasure sharing sounds, words and feelings with all the people we love. We don’t really like making lists since we always forget to include everything we loved through the year. But, by popular demand, our pit stop crew tried to bring the Best of 2011 lists (albums, tracks, remixes, EP’s, video) based on what we played most on our car stereo. It was certainly an amazing year with great releases that gave this station the “gas” it needed to carry on driving. Check out our lists below in no particular order. We don’t have winners or losers in this race only drivers that finally make it to the finish line.
This is the 2011 sound of La.Ga.Sta. Vroooommm!

All the way to Portugal. We’ve already written about Mirror People, aka Portuguese producer Rui Maia, a couple of times. Now we have one more good reason to. Mirror People released today his debut 12” on Discotexas. The new track “Feel The Need”, sung by Rowetta (of Happy Mondays fame), sounds so good that you feel the need to never leave the dancefloor. And like if this weren’t enough, this track comes complete with remixes by Moullinex, Munk, Social Disco Club and Severino. It’s really hard to pick one. Preview the full release here, and check out the original version and Social Disco Club’s “Hi-Nrg” dub below. Fill it up!

Happy Halloween from Discotexas. The two label founders, Moullinex and Xinobi got together in the studio and after 8 hours of “singing, laughing, whistling, playing bass, guitar, wine bottles and hippie percussions” they came up with a delicious tune called “X Marks The Spot”. The single is out today, backed with remixes by Glimmers and Drop Out Orchestra. Check out the original version below and stream the whole thing here. Trick or treat?
