Starship 109
Mistral had prize of place in my latest long mix – Psychodelidisco, with that strange chilly Spanish guitar / space disco hybrid featured on ‘Jamie’ and ‘Starship 109’.

I miss the piano chord in dance music – occasionally pops up in the odd retro-sampling tune, but when the piano was…
