Kicking off Disconet's 12th. Year Anniversary Program, is "Be My Twin" by Brother Beyond, on Capitol Records. This power pop/dance tune is the follow up to the hit single "Act For Love", and is from Brother Beyond's debut LP, "Get Even". The Disconet edit includes an extended intro, an exciting new break and other floor packing surprises. Those gorgeous ladies of dance, The Cover Girls, are next, with "My Heart Skips A Beat" on Capitol Records. This out-of-the-box pop/dance hit is from the Girls' "We Can't Go Wrong" LP. Dennis Muyet's inspiring party house edit will make your crowd's heart skip a beat.
SIDE A RUNS: 7:16 at 119 BPM, and 7:14 at 122 BPM.
Side B starts off with Sharon Redd's all time disco classic "In The Name Of Love" on Unidisc-Prelude Records. Steven Von Blau and Mark Styles created this megamix especially for Disconet's 12th. anniversary, adding new strings, horns, sound effects, and a saxophone & mandolin break. Next is "Hold On" by Donny Osmond on Capitol Records. This is the third single from his dynamic self-titled LP. Mike Carroll has created a floor packing version of "Hold On", with non-stop surprises and edit gimmickry.

Bonus Side 1 ignites with "The Sandra Medley." This 6-song megamix of Virgin Records international sensation, was produced by Steven Von Blau & Ricky Condon (Decadance NYC). The medley song credits are:
