Named a ‘stellar edits provider’ by Mixmag and the ‘nu-disco don’ by Juno, Andy Buchan has become one of the leading names in the disco and edit scene. His music and edits have been played by BBC 6 Music, Greg Wilson, Optimo, Massive Attack’s Daddy G, Horse Meat Disco and Craig Charles, while Andy holds down residencies across Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh and Southport alongside regular club and festival bookings.

With over 200 releases across chart-topping releases on dozens of disco-fried labels, including Peppermint Jam, Hot Digits, Midnight Riot and Paper Disco, Andy launched his Hot Gorilla Records imprint in 2020 along with Conan The Selector. The label hit the ground running, with several Juno Download No.1s, multiple Traxsource Top 10s and four tracks in the Best of 2021 Beatport chart. That led to the Hot Gorilla funky monkeys becoming DJ support for The Brand New Heavies' sell-out UK tour. 

Andy’s own music has been picked up for reviews in DJ Mag and Mixmag, plus radio support from 6Music and Rinse FM and club and festival plays from big-name DJs, including Bicep, Claptone, Horse Meat Disco, Greg Wilson, Peggy Gou, Justin Robertson, Electric Chair and more. That support took an interesting turn when the British National Library Sound Archive asked him to enter his back catalogue into their music collection! 

His previous residences include Chow Down and Flight Club in Leeds, Inventery and Grosvenor in Manchester alongside regular guest slots at legendary Edinburgh club The Street and the Southport Disco Festival. Alongside that, Andy has played across the UK in recent years, warming up for Huey 6 Music, Craig Charles, Dr Packer, Groove Armada, Psychemagik, Hot Chip and headlining at gigs in Manchester, Birmingham, York, Dubai and Todmorden’s legendary Golden Lion pub. 

This is just the latest chapter in Andy’s career. After freelancing for Mixmag and training as a journalist, he moved to Dubai in 2004, working for Time Out Dubai before launching DJ Mag Middle East. He was a regular on the club and festival scene, first with his own long-running, award-winning nights and with long-term residencies at Pacha and Trilogy, alongside back-to-back bookings for Creamfields UAE. It was in Dubai that he cemented his open-genre, curveball DJ style by playing alongside a wide variety of DJs like Fatboy Slim, Mark Ronson, Basement Jaxx, Todd Terje, Norman Jay, Liam Gallagher, Feel My Bicep, Graeme Park and more.

Now back in the UK, he’s become a mainstay of the disco scene while his label Hot Gorilla Records continues to grow into one of the most exciting labels in the scene, including festival slots at Beatherder and Standon Calling.

G Prajekt is an alias of House music pioneer Radu Sapunarescu, a Dj/Producer with firm roots in the golden era of Romania's DJ scene. 
Radu grew up listening to music since 1974, discovering parent’s reel tapes recorder with jazz, blues, gospel from the 60’s-70’s like, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Diana Ross to name a few, and soon he began making his own record selections. He was drawn towards Soul music, Jazz, Funk, Disco, Gospel, R’n’B and later in the 80’s also to Breakdance, street music and early house. 
In 1990 he started as a DJ on the radio, night long sessions at Fun Radio, then in 1991 on Radio Nova and he started to have first mixes with “early House” like Frankie Knuckels, D-Train, RJS Arrivals, Colonel Abrams, Adeva; The first club residency came in 1992.
In 1995 he sold his car to make a small home studio with 2 turntables (Technics SL1210MK2s) and a Numark mixer and he started to exercise with different scratch techniques and other tricks specific DJ international competitions, then following a series of live events with PRO TV, all summer at the beach in Costinesti '96, and other events in '97 live on tour in the country...
Radu has been an integral part of the Romanian House music scene and has remained so for over 30 years. Whether it be as a DJ, Producer or as a Broadcaster on Fun Radio or Nova, he has surfed the waves of musical trends but always returned to his one true love: Funk, Boogie, Deep Soulful Disco infused House.
Inspired by numerous artists like Joey Negro, Dr. Packer, LNTG, to name a few, his current output centers mainly around a distinct selection of rare Disco/Funk 70's-80’s tracks. His uncanny knack for uncovering forgotten and even ignored pearls is a true trademark today, where his sense for detail and savory style of execution combines to the trades of a true craftsman. 
He is releasing music on his own terms, fueled by his own ambition and free from the chains of other people’s expectations.
The sound is a brilliant mix between fine techniques, deep respect of the originals and real personality. And with their DJ friendly style, these forgotten treasures should quickly find a new life close to modern productions.


"The earth has music for those who listen."
“Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.”
