DISCO CROSSWORD WEDNESDAY, VOL. 1

Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) (320)

Chic - Soup For One (LP Version) (256)

Here at outerglow, we regularly embark on manic hunts for the disco/house tracks sampled in our jams (STILL trying to drum up a nice version of this bad boy). Rejoice– we've arbitrarily decided to make Wednesdays Disco Crossword Wednesday™– where samples meet their daddies. (Eventually this will blossom into a giant Disco Sudoku™, but that's for another Wednesday.)

Never been a big believer in saving the best for last, so let's sink our teeth into one of our favorite sampler/samplee pairings of all time. You know it, you love it; Modjo's french-house club classic 'Lady (Hear Me Tonight)' just makes us lose our shit every single time. Only fitting that it samples 1982's 'Soup For One' from (we'd argue) THE greatest band in disco history– Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards were the Lennon/McCartney of late 70s/80s disco. These two gems go together like tomato soup and grilled cheese, baby.

Modjo - Chillin' (192)

Chic - Le Freak (256)

Modjo - Chillin' (Buffalo Bunch Remix) (320)

It doesn't end there– Modjo sampled another Chic dance anthem (1978's 'Le Freak') in their 2001 Bangalter-comparison-worthy house jam 'Chillin.' We're including the Buffalo Bunch version of 'Chillin' because, well, why not, Buffalo Bunch are dope (for the unfamiliar, Buffalo Bunch was a Crydamoure duo of Raw Man and Paul de Homem-Christo). And that's the shit Disco Crosswords are made of.
