First off, a big glitter ball thank you to everyone who dropped a comment on my last post—you’ve truly lit up my dance floor. I have to say, I was a bit surprised to see so many new names in the mix. It makes me wonder… where have you been hiding during my Disco Friday sets? Don’t be shy—jump in and share your thoughts more often!
After reading through your feedback on whether to keep spinning Disco Friday or pull the plug, the results are in—and the crowd has spoken. Most of you want to keep the disco beats rolling! But, like any good DJ, I’m switching up the setlist just a little. Instead of dropping a disco 12″ every single Friday, I’ll spin them whenever the mood—and the mirror ball—strikes. That way, I’m not locked into the same groove every week and can mix in other tracks that inspire me.
I adore disco, but I also like to keep my playlist fresh and unpredictable. This way, Disco Friday will still happen… just not on every Friday. Think of it as a surprise club appearance—you never know when the fever will hit!
So, when I feel that irresistible pull to the dance floor, you’ll get a Disco Friday post. And even if the track I’m spinning isn’t your jam, I’d still love to see your friendly comments—they keep the vibe alive.
Lastly, I’m taking a short break this week to spend some much-needed quality time with my family.
Much love and appreciation to all of you—keep the groove going!

Your compromise sounds great. As others mentioned in your previous post, there are 80s genres like Italo disco and freestyle with performers from Ken Laszlo to Stevie B that you have dabbled in but that have so much more potential too.
Nice to hear you will continue the Disco Friday posting! Enjoy!
Possibly a suggestion for a future Disco 12” Chemise – She Can’t Love You from 1982, so during the post Disco era. Released on the Emergency label.
Nice to hear that disco Friday continuous
Glad you’re keeping it going in some way Paul, I’m not a massive disco fan so I kept my trap shut, but I know it’s part of what keeps BTG unique, plus your music knowledge and choices are unsurpassed. x
It would be great if you could find many of the 12″ Maxi Singles from this Label here. Greetings and all the Best from Germany.

Youpi!
Thanks, Paul
Thanks, Paul. After reading all the comments, I definitely think it’s the best decision. Greetings from Venezuela.

Hey Paul,
Good to hear you’re going to keep up with the Disco Friday idea.
I’d like to make a suggestion about that, especially as you want to somewhat expand the idea. Do you remember how the record labels would send out Promotional 12 inch singles for the album Rock stations (such as Julian Lennon, Bad Company and, for Country clubs and stations, Garth Brooks – when he did the Chris Gaines album)? What about doing something like that, maybe on Mondays?
Just thinking here.
George.
Thanks Paul. Great decision. Some early 80s (1980-83) disco would be great to mix in as well.
I’m so happy that burningtheground will not become a disco-devoid zone.
Thank you Paul. Thank you fellow disco lovers 🙂
I think you’ve made a wise decision Paul! Thank you for sharing your hobby and passion for it! ♥️
When the mood strikes is A-OK with me.
Enjoy your time off with your loved ones, Paul.
peace,
dj
Thanks, Paul for keeping Disco Fridays around even if it’s in a reduced capacity. I particularly enjoy your more obscure selections by artists you don’t normally associate with disco like Donny & Marie, Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, Exile and Kiss’ “Dirty Livin'”. Keep those coming! And have a great break too!
I Will Survive! Burning The Ground Let’s The Music Play On The Disco ‘Round!
Enjoy your break!
Blessings, Paul!
Enjoy your time with the family.
Great compromise!! thanks!
Good compromise. I think this is the best way to satisfy everyone, including those who don’t like Disco Friday. Enjoy your break.
Enjoy your time. 🙂
Good compromise Paul. Sure many will be pleased. Have a great quality week with the family!
To quote the LEGO MOVIE: “It’s Taco Tuesday…but on a Friday“! 🙂
Looking forward to “Hands-in-the-Air Dancefloor Anthem Friday” perhaps? No matter what you decide to post on Fridays, it will always set the right mood! No doubt about it!
What ever you post. It’s an excellent flashback or a fun new learning opportunity. Thank you. Perhaps some CanCon 🇨🇦 disco in the future? The Raes, Patsy Gallant, Toulouse, Rough Trade….
