Profile:
New York based "subscription" label founded in 1977 by Mike Wilkinson, aka "Captain Mike".

Any working "Club" or "Radio" DJ with proper documentation could "subscribe" and receive the monthly vinyl double-packs.
There were seasonal bonus discs, and the occasional "triple-pack" release as well, and a small number of CD compilations were manufactured toward the end of the label's life.

The label folded in 1990.

Review by MADONNA_BOYTOY Aug 29, 2009
I have a disconet volume 1 number 1 33 1/3 12" single with the red label from 1977. on the a side it reads dj tom savarese and where the song titles are to be it just reads "song/artist" 4 time record code###. on side b it reads dj bobby dj guttadaro and is to have a listing of 4 tracks. it reads the same thing, "song/artist", record code###. on the timing of record it reads 00:00, 000 bpm to 000 bpm on both sides. when i play the 12" single, it has a reggae sounding track on each side. the labels are original and pressed on there. the sleeve is original too. does anyone know about this record?
Review by downtown.music May 10, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Disconet 12"ers were my first introduction to to the concept of the DJ remix service. For the most part the best ones are the earliest ones from the late 70's. Some of them have terrible, mini-train-crash blending between the tracks, but the song selection is incredible...lots of great, obscure album cuts and 7" titles. By the early 80's the mixing is superb on those volumes that have medleys. By the mid to late 80's, the programming suffers IMO, with a high percentage of mediocre sleeze, HI-NRG and pop rock, but there are still some excellent volumes to be found. The best possible education about the Disconet story is to be found on the website referenced in the link at the top of this page.
