What are some good funky/disco sounding tracks similar to Duck Sauce?

I'm not heavy into the edm realm and hate dubstep but I'm digging alot of the disco/funk inspired music I've been hearing like Duck Sauce, The Knocks Dancing With the DJ, and Chromeo. What are some good artists/songs that have that same disco funk vibe?

There aren't many artists throwing out consistant bangers, but that's not to say that there aren't any bangers out there. I'd check out Swivel Hips (quickest place to find them is on Whitelabel), now known as J Paul Getto. The Phantom's Revenge is another good one. We have a good thread going on in DJF, but it's down because of some server issues.

oh yeah, i fucking love chromeo. business casual is my favorite album of 2010.

search the term "nu disco" and root around for stuff.

a lot of it is a little more melodic and chiller but there's some good stuff. Also there's a pretty big disco edit movement going on where dudes are re-drumming and re-editing more obscure disco tunes (Duck Sauce is pretty much edits for most of their stuff anyway). Here's one of mine: soundcloud.com (sorry no download, this is coming out on vinyl soon :))

turntablelab.com has a pretty decent selection of nu disco stuff. Buddy of mine runs a label called "Home Breakin" which is more in the realm of nu disco/funky breaks and is an absolute machine when it comes to putting out tracks. They have a section in turntablelab - check it out...

In addition to what DJ_Soo said, Soundcloud is a great place to find "nu disco" and funky stuff.

Here's a link to an edit group on Soundcloud that has a lot of good re-drums and edits: soundcloud.com

thinking that you would look more for disco house than nu disco as far that search goes.

Word. A lot of people are posting nu-disco. It's really different when compared to disco/filtered house.

doesn't mean you can't mix from one to the other tho.

I really hope this soulful, funky sounds makes a comeback personally - this electro/dubstep/whampwhamp noise is getting old...

Try to find some playlist from Riva Starr ...He plays that funky/disco house .....
Deejaysk 8:33 PM - 26 March, 2011
Riva Starr is also great. I have noticed people dance(no fist pumping!) to this type of house.

Isn't the whole idea of the Duck Sauce collaboration revisiting the 90's heyday of groups like Daft Punk, DJ Sneak, Basement Jaxx and labels like Roule & Subliminal?
At the time, it was called 'french filtered disco'.

there's a Duck Sauce mixtape that put me onto a few current artists in that genre.

This song was also made recently with 90's filtered house as inspiration.
