Moon Roq is the collaboration of two musical minds: Franklin & The Iron Glove.

Originally born as a carefully curated mix series, their journey has since blossomed into a project that now includes a vibrant blog and finally, a DJ duo.

The sound of Moon Roq is rooted in their shared passion for infectious, hypnotic grooves, which glide through the realms of house, disco and techno.

You’ll also find a deep, rhythmic sonic exploration woven throughout their performances, which also echoes across today’s mix - recorded live at The Glove That Fits in November 2024.

Tuck in!

Moon Roq: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

We first crossed paths with Juncheol on Nyapi's rooftop during the Ransom Note Asia tour.

A heavy vinyl digger and Nyapi resident, he’s carved his own path through late-night listening sessions.

His sets weave through percussive detours, raw rhythms and imperfect textures, always creating a high energy dance.

 
Through his Somewhere mix series and steady presence in the booth, Juncheol keeps Seoul’s underground plugged into a wider frequency, pulling local heads and distant artists together.

Juncheol moves at his own tempo.

Juncheol: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

There’s a particular alchemy that happens when a band and producer find themselves on the same wavelength – not through careful planning, but through the natural convergence of shared musical worlds. Jakarta’s Strange Fruit and electronic artist Jonathan Kusuma have arrived at exactly that point with the Hypnodubmix of “Iridescent,” the first glimpse of the band’s forthcoming Drips EP.

Strange Fruit has always inhabited dual territories. While their shoegaze-leaning live sound draws from dreamy, guitar-driven atmospheres, members Baldi Calvianca and Irza Aryadiaz have deep roots in electronic music – producing, DJing, and moving through the same underground circuits as Kusuma himself. This isn’t a band reaching outside of their comfort zone for a remix; it’s a collaboration between kindred spirits who’ve been orbiting the same musical universe all along.

With releases on Cocktail d’Amore, Correspondant, and Minh, Kusuma strips “Iridescent” back to its essence and rebuilds it as something altogether more hypnotic. Pulsing basslines, dub-driven rhythms, and spectral traces of the vocals drifting through the haze. It’s patient, immersive, and designed for those late-night moments when the dancefloor becomes a meditation.

With three more remixes still to come ahead of the EP’s 2026 release via Gentle Tuesday Recordings, Strange Fruit are charting a new path…

Luke Hess - Perissos (Luigi Tozzi Special Dreams Remix)

Best known as one half of acclaimed Sheffield electronic duo Hiem - whose disco-infused productions have graced labels like Crosstown Rebels and Eskimo, and featured collaborations with Phil Oakey and Roots Manuva - Boswell is now stepping out under his full birth name for a bold solo venture into stranger sonic territory.

"I Know What I Saw" trades "lissom disco" for the eerie glow of unexplained phenomena, weaving a compelling tale of skywatching and UFO abductions in Sheffield.

Originally from North Wales and a veteran of the UK electronic scene since the early '90s rave days in Liverpool, Boswell has worn many hats 0 from his early Subboy white labels to his Bozzwell alias on Suicide Recordings, and his critically acclaimed 2010 solo album "Bits & Pieces." he's following his vision intomore atmospheric waters.

Out today via Atlantis Audio, the track offers our first glimpse of Boswell's forthcoming album *Going Down Slow*, due January 19th, 2026. It's a bold shift in direction from an artist unafraid to explore the unknown,

Press play and keep your eyes on the skies.

PREMIERE: Luke Hess - Hiketeria (Claudio PRC Remix) [DeepLabs]

It were as if nothing had ever been there before, yet now it was. Everything all at once, one big boom and the beast became me.

This was alchemy at its very greatest.

The fusion of all things.

The night was young but soon I would walk the town, alive with a briskness and an energy which had never been amounted or amassed before. This was my destiny amongst the stars.

Dream Sonic Research kicks off its self-titled imprint with a debut release of four tracks. The EP features a mixture of driving techno paired with euphoric influence through deep residual pads and dream kissed moments lending itself aptly to the title of the project. This is techno as we like it.

PREMIERE: Dream Sonic Research - Alchemic [Dream Sonic Research]

Dreiklang Records set sail in February 2016 with the excellent First Contact EP which featured OCH, Hydergine and Kelovolt, three singular artists each handing in their own contrasting take on the same source material. The Berlin-based vinyl-only label now returns with the same concept for the Loop Continue EP. For their second release Dreiklang call upon three strong figures of the techno scene, each displaying a highly distinct voice in keeping with the triangular concept of the label: Scottish veteran Edit Select and Italian purveyors of everything dark and deep, Dino Sabatini and Claudio PRC.

The three tracker kicks off with the deep sub-aquatic sounds of Tony Scott aka Edit Select, who produces the original version of Loop Continue, an introspective DJ tool. The Scottish producer goes straight to the point from the very start with a dusky loop that is slowly overcome by a glistening, luxuriant drone.

Claudio PRC hands in a stunning rework. A hypnotizing bass drives the track forward while tranquil chords ease in and out of focus.

Finally, Dino Sabatini, a regular collaborator of Edit Select, drops in fresh from the release of his Omonimo LP. The Outis Music boss closes the EP on a dreamy piece of broken-beat where beautiful glowing drones command attention.

Loop Continue is set for vinyl-only release June 14th on Dreiklang. The records will come as a 180g vinyl with handmade covers by Nils Atland, limited to 500 pieces.

dreiklang002_a1 - Edit Select - Loop Continue

One immersion of deep driving techno plus two reinterpretations. DREIKLANG's distinctive triangular concept is reflected in its name with the label pursuing a three-fold approach to electronic music. Each release presents three contrasting takes on the same source material, juxtaposing and unifying three particular electronic music sub-currents.

180gr high-quality wax.
Cover design by artist Nils Altland.
