70s and 80s Disco, Funk, Soul, R&B, and Boogie Mix

Boogie Delights has been a project that I have always wanted to do since I started DJing. It’s a collection of 70s and 80s Funk, Disco, Soul, and R&B intended for the dance floor. I’ve always loved these sounds but never really had the confidence to do a mix like this until I started posting on YouTube. To see the love and reception I’ve received is nothing short of amazing and something I’m really proud of. I am grateful for all the support and tenderness felt my way.

To be quite honest, I was a bit burnt out on House music and perhaps music in general, but starting the curation process for this mix got me out of that slump (don’t worry a new House mix is very much on its way).

These sounds have been an essential part of my childhood and musical development. After really getting into House and Techno, going back to these sounds added more meaning and realization that these genres are all interconnected and/or a response from one another.

It was a real pleasure digging through so many records digitally and physically. I do plan on eventually spinning vinyl but for now, it’s a lot of going through record stores, Discogs, YouTube, and digital catalogs. I really fell in love with a lot of the vocalists from back then, who I feel just had stronger technical prowess and ability. Some of my favorites include Phyllis Hyman, Gwen McCrae, and Angela Bofill. So much rich instrumentation came from this era starting from the mid-70s through the early 80s as artists’ ideas of dance music emerged, shifted, and gradually evolved. Going back to the roots of the music that really inspires you is a delightful journey in and of itself. I think that started for me with my parents playing music at dinner and going through samples of my favorite underground Hip-Hop records. There were so many records I wanted to include but didn’t for one way or another. I included that Spotify playlist below. Thank you guys again for the love. I will get back to house music soon but for now, enjoy these foundational tunes. Also, I am looking to play more live shows this year. If interested, please email me at csedayao@gmail.com

I also want to give major credit and a shoutout to my good friend Parker. He's an artist, musician, and graphic designer who designed this cover and did the animations. If you want a great graphic designer for you to design a cover for you or whatever you need, he's available at
