Spotify playlist: 50 of the best disco rarities

We’ve all been there, up to our elbows in the bargain bin looking for something half-decent but instead all you can find are Beegees singles and beat-up Donna Summer records.

Well, to help you explore before you hit your local record shop, we’re launching a new Disco Rarities playlist on Spotify to be updated every Tuesday.

Like our History Of Disco In 100 Tracks playlist, it will include tunes under the broad umbrella of disco, encompassing boogie, soul, Italo, funk and the newest in edits and reissues. While the genres may vary slightly, what there will always be an abundance of booty-shaking basslines, glitzy strings and killer brass sections.

The playlist has been updated this week with tracks from Patrick Adams' alias Cloud One who's album has just been given a repress, some killer Italo from Jay & Jason and a lengthy revisit of the Charles Maurice boogie comps.

Follow the playlist on Spotify to stay abreast of the latest reissues and uncovered disco gems.

Louis Anderson-Rich is Mixmag's Digital Intern and will be curating the Disco Rarities playlist, follow him on Twitter
