DMC-Disco Mix Club
Remix service from the UK which still exists.
Fuelled by a team of people with twenty years commitment to the DJ industry DMC is manned by managers who either come from a DJ background or are passionate for dance music.
I first heared the mixes in 1983 on the radio at the Soul Show here in the netherlands.
DMC started first in Februar 1983 with cassette's.
Because there isn't much info on the web about the cassetes and a lot of people doesn't know the existance of the cassettes i show in this section the info about the cassetes.
I also show all the track info which was issued on that tapes.

There were 17 months of cassettes which consists each month of a cassette with mixes and one or more cassettes of previews (See tracklisting cassettes).
In July 1984 they left the cassettes and started issueing on vinyl.
There were one or more record with mixes and one or more records with previews.
Now are the main issues on CD.
On the cassettes were on the previews sometimes the long 12' or album versions.
On the vinyl previews were only edit or single versions.
