I was chatting with DJ/promoter Gary Van Den Bussche yesterday and the
subject of DMC (Disco Mix Club) came up. It was a exclusive DJ members only
club set up in the early 80s by Radio Luxemburg DJ Tony Prince. Each
month they sent out promos and mixtapes to DJs. initially on cassette and
then on vinyl.
We believe that Prince sold it some years ago but it is still going
strong. Occasionally they would do specific artist mixes and it reminded me of one of their best mixes, that I remember, a George Benson
mix done by Alan Coulthard which is posted on YouTube.
DJ and Record Mirror columnist
James Hamilton
used to do vintage 60s mixes which were also rather good. His column in
Record Mirror was essential reading for DJs between 1975-86 and a full
archive of them has been posted on a
dedicated blog.
I still have few of the cassettes but many have got lost or 'half-inched'
over the years which is a downer as the Benson mix now sells for up to
£60!
