Seventies disco, Munich to Manhattan, mirror ball intact.
Dinamo started as Istanbul's 103.8 FM in November 2003, playing electronic, dance and indie music, and gave the frequency up ten years later to put everything it wanted on the web instead. Nine channels came out of that decision, each one curated by hand rather than assembled by software. This is the one that goes furthest back, to the records the rest of the network is descended from, and it has not widened its brief since the day it opened. Every other channel here was allowed to drift; this one was not.
The remit is the disco years and not much either side of them, split close to evenly between American records and European ones: the Munich productions and the pop-disco hits that filled continental dancefloors in the late seventies, with a handful of early-eighties boogie and funk cuts at the edges. Modern edits are rare, and the mixing lets each record run its length.
Four-on-the-floor, no irony.
