Because it’s now 40 years from the first walk on the moon, I thought to take part to the ceremonies by making this super dark cosmic mixtape. This is for all you freaks there floating to the dark side of the moon!

This mixtape was made in a rush of inspiration. It became sort of a praise for the year 1979 though half of the tracks are not from that particular year… I just went through my uptempo disco records and kept in mind the cover picture of Peter Jacques Band’s Fire Night Dance (1979). You just can’t resist the call of these disco sirens and dancefloor matadors!

What else happened in 1979? From wikipedia we can spot the downers:
March 8 – Philips demonstrates Compact Disc publicly for the first time.
May 4 – Conservatives win the British general election; Margaret Thatcher becomes the new prime minister.
August 9 – The first British nudist beach is established in Brighton.
But also few fine moments:
February 7 – Pluto moves inside Neptune’s orbit for the first time since either was known to science.
August 10 – Michael Jackson releases his first breakthrough album Off The Wall. It sells 7 million copies in the United States alone, making it a 7x platinum album.
December 6 – The world premiere for Star Trek: The Motion Picture is held at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC.
