Saw this little gem floating around the promo bin a few month's back and had to snatch. As the title states, this is Dirty Space Disco... and yes, it is unmixed! The French trio of Guillaume Sorge, Clovis Goux, and Benjamin Morando are Dirty Sound System and they have taken the liberty of selecting these choice space disco cuts for you. These cats have definitely done their homework, and they bring you rare original tracks plus masterful edits that span various genres but all have a distinct space feel. Check the sounds - the falsetto love boat style of John Forde's "Atlantis(1)," the minimal haunting creeper "Die Drachentrommier (Pilooski Edit)(2)" by Clara Mondshine, funked out heaters like Undisputed Truth's "Undisputed (How & Why Edit)(3)" and Fern Kinney's "Baby Let Me Kiss You(4)," awesome italo fusion like Yello Power's "Hai Samurai(5)" (previously released on the now sold out 12" for this comp), and beautiful space disco soul like Odyssey's "Who(6)" and Sylvester's "I Need Somebody To Love Tonight(7)." Also got to mention Pilooski's brilliant edit of John Miles "Stranger In The City(8)." Extended breaks for days and it sounds sooooo good! Feeling the cosmic cut and paste artwork too. Definitely Recommended.
