More reggae-disco than disco-reggae, but I just pulled out "Nightflight to Venus" and I'm def adding "Never Change Lovers in the Middle of the Night" to my playlist:

Yeah that's a classic. I think I put that on my original mix made from suggestions to this thread. I absolutely love it

Atmosfear's Dancing in Outer Space has a couple of moments when it becomes almost reggae - the laser-ska bit between 2:17 and 2:52, and that liquidy dub bit between about 5:25-6:25 which sounds like the dubwise equivalent of paddling a canoe in choppy waters.

This is joyful and I think it deserves to be included in this thread: https://soundwayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/chi-town-reggae

Great stuff!
I thought I'd posted about it here already, but the Risco Connection comp has been a highlight of my year: https://riscoconnection.bandcamp.com/album/risco-version

shame there's no dub version tbh because the synths are great but the singing is a bit much

That Margino track sounds so much like Yvonne Chaka Chaka's "I'm In Love With a DJ". I assume it's the same producer

agreed, Moka’s Spotify playlist is a complete banger.
Ernest Ranglin’s “Soft Touch” is complete fire.
