Waterford’s Get Down Edits are two absolute turkeys, but seriously fantastic DJs. In between running their own label & churning out their own essential re-works and edits, the duo regularly play in their home city, throughout Ireland and beyond, raising hell like nobody’s business. continue..
Picked up this sexeh lil edit off the cloud recently and have played it about a thousand times already. A genuine thousand times.
54 Mode is a DJ, Producer and radio host Saul Healan from Cardiff in Wales – hit him up over on his Soundcloud and check out the other super nice bits he has on there.

The magnificent Deep Space Orchestra played for us on Saturday past, the first in a series of NiTE JAMS gigs we’re running with our Twitch buddies. It’s a mighty fine concept, even if we do say so our damn selves – we invite one guest to play two different sets, a disco one alongside yours truly, and then a more peak time heads down effort with Twitch.
Anyways DSO’s Chris (and Si as well I suppose..) but Chris in particular played an incredible set of old disco and funk tracks, super rare 7″s and lots of long forgotten gems. It was just an immaculate set, a proper highlight of our year thus far and this lil beaut from Asha Puthli’s 1976 LP The Devil Is Loose was one of the selections he played.

The one we’ll let slide, and only cos it’s such a different take on things, is this awesome Luv Unlimited Vibes effort, more uptempo in its groove but still super atmospheric. Suuuuperb.

Late Nite Tuff Guy and Disco Deviance – surely a match made in heaven if ever there was one. A rather splendid hour of disco beats from the tuff one here.. continue..
RIP one of the most iconic, important, beautiful and relentlessly brilliant recording artists of all time. Words can’t do justice to what she did for disco and pop music, and she’ll be a truly missed lady.
So in the middle of last year, one the greatest radio programme’s of all time was broadcast on BBC 6 music. This superb series of shows celebrated the influence of the legendary club Paradise Garage, and how the man at the helm, Larry Levan, changed the music business and and inspired a whole new generation of DJs, nightclubs and producers.
The men behind these shows were Eddie Gordon and Lenny Fontana. Eddie Gordon is probably one of the most influential and important people in the broadcasting of dance music in the last 20 years. He was the person responsible for introducing BBC Radio 1 to a host of new Radio DJ talent including Pete Tong, Danny Rampling, Judge Jules, Seb Fontaine, Fergie and Carl Cox, and introduced the concept of the famous Essential Mix back in 1994. And now nearly 18 years on The Essential Mix is now the longest running Radio Mix show in the world, as well as being the most popular ‘Listen Again Feature’ on the BBC Radio 1 website.
Will there be a better way to toast Boxing Night in Belfast this year? Not likely.

Our boys over at Feel My Bicep have started running a monthly night in London, flexing like only they know how at Plastic People in Shoreditch.
Their next one is on Wed Nov 2nd, themed as a night of Grindhouse Terror. Think frenzied synth trax, yerning vocal attacks, trashy italo hooks, and vintage Giallo looks.
They don’t announce any line ups either, so get down if you’re in the area for a guaranteed top, top party. Saying that, we’ve just heard who the special guests are for this one and trust us – you will NOT want to be missin this. Think big. think deep, dark and awesome. Think a couple of the hottest names around, and you’ll be on the right tracks.
And here it’s FREE IN before 10pm. Fiver after. Whuut.
