Professor Eddy’s Old School Disco Show

C-Heads Magzine
This Boogie Bunker Radio mix is built around I love to love by Tina Charles. It is the key track in the excellent Netflix detective series River. Producer Biddu was inspired by Rock The Boat from The Hues Corporation (off-beat tom tom) and George McCrae’s Rock Your Baby (rhythm box). Three of the musicians on the record, Tina's then boyfriend Trevor Horn, Geoffrey Downes and Bruce Woolley would later start The Buggles and have a worldwide hit with Video killed the radio star. When Biddu brought the track to the record company, they wanted to release the flip-side Disco Fever. An executive told him that they would give I Love To Love four weeks to be a success:
"We brought it out and within four weeks it was #1." (Biddu)
