For the ninth installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Dust Down Records invites Javi Frias, a madrileño disco afficionado & firm favourite of ours. He began collecting and playing records as a young ‘soul boy' at the end of the nineties in his hometown Madrid & you can find his edits & reworks on labels like Street Edits, Tropical Disco Records & Midnight Riot.

In 2017 he started his own label Night Shift Records, devoted to edits and reworks of disco and house. He's part of the mysterious Disco Pocho label too, focused on the soul and funk side of the disco edit.

He's also resident DJ & booker of Discotizer, one of the finest disco, boogie and house parties in Spain (currently at El Sotano), where he has shared the decks with names like Louie Vega, Dave Lee, Danny Krivit, Rahaan, Eddie C, Faze Action, Mr. Mendel, & more.

Muchísimas gracias @Javi-Frias 🙏

For the 14th installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Enter, one of Motor City's hidden gems. Keyboardist, composer & selector Jade Zuberi aka Jay Sound caught our ears & we just had to invite him onto the series. An incredibly diverse musician who can shift between New Age, Deep House, Funk, Jazz & more, his sound has a constant deep retro atmosphere at its foundation coupled with 80s synths, complex polyrhythmic bass lines, dream like chords & retro drum machines.

Fuelling his artistry are wide-ranging inspirations from Theo Parrish, Larry Heard, Ron Trent, Benedek, Bonodo & Trinidadian Deep to Herbie Hancock, Prince, Sade, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Robert Glasper, Dam-Funk, George Duke, Hans Zimmer, John Carpenter & so much more.

Detroit came through! 🙏 Eternal appreciation @jaysound-1

For the 17th installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

We're heading to Amsterdam with Wendel Sield. His Entity EP, released on his own label Obia Records, piqued our interest a few years ago, with its insanely lush percussion & masterful layering, and safe to say we've been following his output keenly since.

OBIA003 saw @trinidadiandeep & the Sonic Movement EP on Obia Records, guided by the Caribbean producer who delves deep into the spirit of the cosmos with a highly percussive & spacious chords filled EP.

Wendel grew up in a family that loved music, surrounded by jazz, soul and funk from an early age. We're stoked he's pulled through with a decidedly deep mix. 🚀

Thanks @wendelsield 🙏

For the 19th installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Questa settimana andiamo in Italia con G&D aka Gino Grasso @ginofunkgrasso & Dino Angioletti @dinoangioletti 🇮🇹 

Long time collectors, DJ's and producers, Gino and Dino initially made their mark on the scene with a residency at Kinki club in Bologna, helping to raise the profile of Italian house with a very personal interpretation of electronic music, full of Detroit influences & a deep-rooted sense of groove 🚀 

Gino started buying records at 11 years old in the late 70s when his uncle was working at an independent radio station & soon fell in love with disco and boogie seeking out obscure gems off the radar of collectors at the time. He was part of the amazing Italian DJ crew Garage Paradise, alongside the like of Enrico Crivellaro aka Volcov, Luca Trevisi and other ragazzi. His compilation “We Know How To Boogie” for BBE Records @bbemusic contains some insanely dope disco & boogie jams worth checking out. 

Since 1994 Dino's been a member of the Pasta Boys crew @pastaboysxx – with Uovo and Deejay Rame – with whom he's collaborated with the likes of @Osunlade & Masters At Work @masters-at-work-official

Expect groovy records, enchanting disco, serious funk, stunning reworks of old school tunes, obscure gems, classics and pure love for the warmest music ever. Eternally grateful that two legends in the game have come through with an hour of soulful sounds to get you in the mood for the weekend. Grazie mille fratelli 🙏

Just For The Night #19 - G&D (Gino Grasso & Dino Angioletti)

For the 21st installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Eddie Logix is a Detroit-based DJ & producer we've admired for a long while. His discography is pretty intimidating at this point, seemingly only dropping solid gold. His most recent release Flight Risk on @RocksteadyDisco is a masterful 4 track EP drawing from leftfield, Detroit house dance floor sounds, disco, Afrobeat and Balearic influences. Also go check his recent Lumberjack Tapes mix @LumberjacksInHell recorded live at La Milagrosa, Williamsburg.

If you're in Detroit, you can catch him letting loose solo style Sunday 23rd July from 4-10pm for the Pet Fête party in the beautiful backyard at Ladder 4 Wine Bar in an old Detroit firehouse, celebrating all things bubbly.

He's delivered a true selector's mix, traversing & weaving together global sounds from Brazilian, boogie & balearic to Kwaito, house & leftfield sounds, into a really delectable listen.

Eternal thanks @eddielogix 🙏

Just For The Night #21 - Eddie Logix

He's delivered a hammock-friendly, beautifully balanced globe-trotting hour of sounds from exquisite zouk jams & Guadeloupean guitars to Italo ballads & Brazilian 80s electro boogie. Everything jam packed full of soul & heat-beating gems. 🌴🍌🌴🏖️

For the 37th installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Next up, Los Angeles producer & beat maker Dyami O'Brien aka Jamma-Dee 🌎 His adolescent obsession with record digging and beatmaking eventually led him to @Dam-Funk’s renown Funkmosphere parties where he built friendships with key players in the LA funk scene and began to make a name for himself as a DJ and producer. He's a part of the west coast modern funk and boogie scene, having released records under his own name and producing for the likes of @JoyceWrice & @Mndsgn.

His first full-length LP 'Perceptions' is one of our favourite 2023 releases, a masterclass in modern funk and soul production, with influences ranging from classic deep house & new jack rhythms to UK street soul & downtempo R&B, with collaborators including @The-Koreatown-Oddity, @Mndsgn & Benedek (check track Datafile Groove 🔥)

Enjoy this bouncing, groove-filled hour of all-wax deep cuts, garage house & more 🚀

“In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.” - Albert Camus

in the thick of it 004: selectors delve deep into the heavier side of their collections.

Next up, we welcome the East Coast's Alex Burkat. No stranger to eclecticism, from his humble beginnings as an electroclash live performer as Pfunkt in 2007, to his exploration into darker UK centric and Detroit bass music as Rx in 2009, Alex Burkat got his start exploring the boundaries of electronic music intensity.

In 2013, he shifted gears into the realm of all things House and Techno, with his breakthrough record "Shower Scene" on Mister Saturday Night Records. Since then he has been rocking lofts, warehouses and intimate music venues all over the Philadelphia and New York City area. 

As an extension of his eclectic mixed bag style of deep house influenced club music, he has started the DJ party and mix
series Ancient Puzzle Arts, with Upstairs at the 700 in Philadelphia as his home. 🧩

Alex certainly shows no sign of slowing down, with various
singles & EPs scheduled to drop in 2024. He's delivered a mix of all original productions, celebrating 11 years of making Alex Burkat music. 🎈

Greg applied his musical nous to Palms Trax's label @CWPT on their excellent tape series too, ‘Saturday Night/Sunday Morning’, mixing two sides of truly transcendent, deeply affecting cuts that speak in turn for the heat of the weekend party and the afterglow of a Sunday morning. ✨

He has graciously delivered a 100% gospel modern soul & disco session to bring up the half century in our mix series, in life-affirming, transcendental fashion. Eternal thanks Greg 🙏

For the 52nd installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

This week brings us to London via France, with party host and label curator at Beauty & The Beat, Cédric Woo. You might find him playing Brazilian, Afro, zouk or gwoka just as much as revolutionary jazz, soul, dub, funk, deep house or obscure grooves and forgotten classics. The idea is to find the connections to create a unique cosmic bubble.

He started out in the mid 90s as a radio DJ & music coordinator at Radio Campus Clermont-Ferrand, with a love for post rock and all things Jamaican expanding to hip hop, funk and soul. At the turn of the century, he spent a year in New York City which would be transformative. His flatmate in Harlem (and soon to be mentor) introduced Cédric to the magical worlds of The Loft and Body & Soul, ushering in a new found love for spacey disco and cosmic music in general.

A close friendship with David Mancuso would follow, and once resettled in London in late 2000, he soon became part of the Lucky Cloud team which has been hosting the quarterly Journey Through the Light parties since 2003.

In 2005, alongside friends and fellow DJs/promoters Jeremy Gilbert and Belle Bete, BEAUTY AND THE BEAT was born, a party series & whole community built around it to this day. They would describe the sound as “organic psychedelic soul” (from Pharaoh Sanders to Patrick Adams, Talking Heads to Larry Heard, Ebo Taylor to ATCQ, Jorge Ben to Lee Perry) played on an audiophile sound-system (Klipschorn and Tannoy speakers, Sugden and Mark Levinson amplifiers, Isonoe mixer). 

It's now the longest running monthly audiophile party in London 🚀 Long may it continue!

Cedric's delivered a suitably eclectic, cosmic mix, a recording of his closing set at a Beauty & The Beat party in November 2023. We're super grateful he's shared this exclusively with us to live for all eternity on the series.

Thanks @cedricwoo 🙏

Her guest mix delivers along these musical fault lines, bopping & weaving from deep downtempo sounds to high-energy hedonism & raucous rhythms 🚀

고마워 (gomawo) @sssooolll 🙏

Just For The Night #53 - Sol

in the thick of it 005: selectors delve deep into the heavier side of their collections.

Next up, we welcome Leipzig's KRUE. His sound was influenced by his childhood, listening to music in the backseat of a car on long distance night drives and collecting trance or techno samplers in his later youth. He once went to a LoveParade in Berlin and immediately fell in love with the idea of mixing music in front of a hyped crowd. 

After moving to Leipzig he developed his sound over the years at smaller venues and became an integral part of the @vacanzaev crew. Whether it’s driving melodic techno, trance or eurodance, you can just expect one thing: smiling faces and stomping feet!

Thanks @kruevacanza

in the thick of it 005: KRUE

We did a guest mix for @dublab (LA) & it meant a lot to us! 

https://www.dublab.com/archive/duvet-dave-dust-down-records-guest-session-03-03-24

"Dust Down Records is a South London label run by two brothers Duvet Dave & Joeginho, who dig & play a broad church of sounds – whether it’s boogie, disco, balearic, funk & Italo, or Brazilian, African & tropical rhythms, to more dance-oriented rhythms encompassing the many spectrums of house & beyond. Their style stitches sounds from across continents & eras: always deep, cosmic, soulful & percussive.

This mix from elder brother Duvet Dave @duvet-dave is dedicated to their father, who has been seriously ill the past 6 months, meaning deep dancefloor connections have been fewer & farther between for the brothers over this period ~ as such it evolved into a mix that pines for a warm dancefloor energy, amongst the trees or on the beach; in the dark & through to sunrise."
