Pack with a bag full of playful delights, Dr Banana's beach takeover set the tone for the weekend ahead in 2021... impromptu MC sets, tequila shots and plenty of uk garage and house heaters, we're excited to share the live recording from that memorable moment on site – enjoy.

Dr Banana - Live at Dimensions 2021

Dr Banana is a name that commands a lot of respect in certain corners of the dance music world. The man has his Ph.D in record digging—not literally, mind you, but play along—and key to his success is the sense of fun, joy and ecstasy he brings to his DJing. UK garage historian? Sure. Blinding DJ? Definitely. He likes to play records you've never heard before, records that not only make you dance but might remind you of some of your favourite, formative records of yore.

The UK artist started out with a fashion line and some records and ended up an influential label boss, collector and DJ. He made his name with skippy, retro UK garage—sometimes from new producers and sometimes unearthed from the archives—and nicely coincided with the genre's explosion in popularity. Since then, he's highlighted everything from old-school German garage to new-school producers like K-LONE. His DJ sets have only become more adventurous and, crucially, even more bumping. Jungle, R&B, tech house, you name it. His RA Podcast zeroes in on a vintage-sounding, rollicking kind of house music, full of seismic disco basslines and quirky vocal samples. It's as celebratory as it is mysterious.

Once, Dr Banana was a not so well-kept secret for the heads—the kids in Berlin and London who were starting to realize the similarities between UK garage, minimal and tech house. Now, he's for everyone, and starting to earn the wider recognition he deserves.

Armed with some fresh perspective and an arsenal of golden era gems Dr Banana joins our series this week with an hour long UKG mix that perfectly encapsulates the energy and passion of the past and catapults it into our laps here in 2020. Full of spirit and mischief, playful percussion and soulful vocal cuts are aplenty; a perfect soundtrack for any occasion and a welcomed burst of energy.

Championing artists past and present through the Dr Banana labels with releases from K-Lone as well as unearthing forgotten gems from Anthill Mob, Urban Myths and more, Dr Banana continues to keep the ethos of those golden days alive and very much at present.
