jark.fm 9 >> disco du soleil >> live!

[Jark]

oh mon Dieu!

bonsoir queers, freaks & @ButterTart

after a lengthy hiatus we're back back back with loose hips and fresh lips for a GROOVY WARM DISCO EDITION of the barely-missed Jark.FM!

in a reflection of the sunnier sounds of this summertime soirée, we're getting the party started at 6.30 tomorrow evening! so whether the main event is a night spent dodging the Delta variant in a crowded provincial bar or simply a busting-out of the Kylie Minogue rosé collection at home, consider this your Friday evening warm-up.

expect big tunes some of the funkiest, freshest names in '10s nu-disco, a couple of retro throwbacks, some hot SAX SOLOS and all the poolside vibes. all you need to do is BRING your fabulous, firm ASS to the PARTY (@Dark Carnival).

[Jark]

the effort and energy

queen of doing the most

indeed. let's hope someone/anyone actually turns up this time!

 

[funky]

That artisté listing though

 

[Jark]

do we need YouTube for this, or will Spotify suffice?

 

[Tisch]

Oh THIS!

Don't mind Jarky Baby. Are the videos interesting? Or mainly pretty colours and still images? If the latter I'd say Spotify will suffice.

 

[Jark]

it will be mostly stills due to these songs not having videos. let's stick to the ol' spotty fry.

 

[funky]

Can’t remember if there was a reason but this seems quite early for a Friday? I might be napping at 6.30

[Soldi]

I’m happy with the current time! It’ll past the minutes by whilst I wait for my pizza to arrive

 

[Tisch]

Yes, current time! Pizza is also my cuisine du choix tonight

 

[RJN]

I won’t be able to listen until about 8, but don’t change it for me

 

[Jark]

no nap for you @funky. be here pls! the tunes are guaranteed to revive OMF anyway.

 

[Jark]

26 minute warning, girls!

[jivafox]

I’ve just had my pizza and I’m ready

 

[octophone]

I'm not in a disco mood, petal. Soz.

 

[Jark]

I see the words but I can't comprehend the meaning

 

[Jark]

good evening, handsome stranger...

Welcome to the Hollywood Hills. Two rules: don't touch anybody without consent. And don't hit your head on the mirrorball. Grab a cocktail from the waiter, say graçias, and hit play at 6.30 sharp for a few words from your host. He's inebriated, but he's also an asshole when sober.

 

[Jark]

as always, this is best enjoyed with a crossfade of around 5 seconds on Spotify (via settings and playback)

 

[Soldi]

The ART DECO ARCH

 

[jivafox]

The ACTING!

 

[Jark]

sistrens I'm serving (mild) EFFORT tonight. and severe delusion.

 

[Jark]

everybody hit play on the playlist!

kicking off with this very SULTRY, MOODY six minute banger from the recent Moodymann "project". if this one sounds a little gloomy, the whole EP is actually inspired by a police harassment episode that occurred outside his building. I like how STOP-START it is. the beat drops out, sirens and thunder... then back we go, a party that refuses to be stopped. it's hot.

What HOST. Absolutely need to attend a Jark party before I die

 

[Tisch]

Peeked ahead and I absolutely LOVE track 3, YAAASSS

 

[Soldi]

 

[Jark]

I don't know why you do WRONG
I can only make it RIGHT without you...

this fucking TUNE! the jesus tier Joe Goddard and Horse Meat Disco's Amy Douglas teaming up for a side project that promises to END JARK. this is such a dirty, slinky banger. starting out in house territory before we hit the disco.

 

[FetchFugly]

Track one was a soulful mood to lead in, very nice and i do like the Hard Feelings track too.

 

[Tisch]

I feel nicely tantalised and warmed up

 

[Jark]

OK this Jodie Harsh banger is actually pretty next level. co-produced by SG Lewis who's on FIRE and has more to come tonight...

NO SLEEP. except for @funky.

 

[Soldi]

@funky hasn’t been seen since 5:25pm.

Someone CALL HIM!

 

[Jark]

love the big DIVA VOCAL on Sweet Time. and the piano. and the funk bassline. the French always nail daytime disco.

 

[jivafox]

I did as you said and put the crossfade on and it's thrown me right off I don't know WHERE I AM

 

[Tisch]

God I love this Jodie Harsh track so much. Perfect Friday evening staying home tune.

 

[Soldi]

I did as you said and put the crossfade on and it's thrown me right off I don't know WHERE I AM

Same! I thought the first TRACK had been on a WHILE

 

[Jark]

welcome to the concept of a DJ set honeyz

 

[Jark]

just realised the vocalist on Hope You Can Wait is the same as Sweet Time. talant.

 

[Tisch]

It's been so long the huns have forgotten what a DJ set looks like
