What started as a casual Madchester session to nod to Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield (Stone Roses & Primal Scream) slipped fast into a full psychedelic plunge through Andrew Weatherall’s heaviest basslines, dubbed-out shadows, and Factory-coded deep cuts. A detour that became the destination — the Manchester Effect in full flight.
This mix moves through the key zones that shaped the city’s sound:
the Madchester pulse, the Haçienda haze, the crossover where indie psychedelia, rave pressure, and low-slung groove blur into one continuum.
The current that carried Manchester from rehearsal rooms to warehouse floors and into club culture’s long memory.

🎚️ DISCOTHÈQUE DECADENCE PRESENTS: STUDIO 54 FLIPPED (DD005)
“Turning the sound of Studio 54 on its head…”
This isn’t your typical disco revival. This is Studio 54 flipped — a glitterball-splashed rework of dancefloor royalty, rebuilt with house heat, nu-disco flair, and edit culture energy.
We kick things off with a killer mashup that fuses “Rapper’s Delight” with CHIC’s “Good Times”, courtesy of Ivan Jack & Master Mike — a nod to the birth of hip-hop and disco’s golden groove in one seamless jam.
Then Ken@Work steps up with a slick remix of “Good Times”, reshaping a classic into a strut-ready roller.
The fire continues with Purple Disco Machine, Benjamin Ingrosso & Nile Rodgers on the outrageously funky “Honey Boy (Extended Version)”.
We roll into Kylie Minogue’s “Tension”, given a shimmering electro-glam remix by Chromeo, and a twilight anthem in Shakedown’s “At Night” (Purple Disco Machine Extended Remix).
Also packed in the crate is a bouncing remix of Kool & The Gang’s “Fresh” from HP Vince, bringing neon-tinted boogie to the dancefloor revival.
We round things off with a high-voltage twist on CHIC’s “Freak Out”, with Pitbull and Nile Rodgers closing the party in full hands-up style.
And that’s not all — this mix is stacked with edits and grooves from the likes of Nathalie Duchene & Yuksek, CHMI, Michael Gray & LaMay, Javier Penna, DiscoRocks, Ladies On Mars, Sammy Deuce, and the ever-slick Crazy P.
Modern disco. Golden soul. All attitude.
This is Discothèque Decadence: Studio 54 Flipped.
👠✨ Save it. Share it. Freak out.
