The next in a special series of Recorded Live at fabric mixes.

Ross From Friends has released his full set recording from a recent Room 1 outing back in March. A slick hour-long expedition through varying energies, intricate rhythms, feel-good dance numbers, and what we know (because we were there) was something akin to expert crowd-control.

SHERELLE: The Sweatbox - with Sir Hiss

"My biggest inspiration for writing music are my own experiences. That is usually the catalyst that pushes me to start a new track. Countless late night chats at shows, silly moments in my daily life, or special moments that I wish I could frame and hang on my wall. When I open up Ableton, I pretend I’m writing the soundtrack for a specific slice of life. 
My creative choices for this EP were guided by a few key things. I wanted to combine two worlds I thoroughly enjoy…bass music and hip hop. That’s always something that gets me hyped. Another guiding creative force, is this dragon I’ve been chasing since 2016 when I first heard Kursa’s track, Pick Em Up. This tune, with it’s pounding hip hop drums, invokes a darkness I seek in left field music and tried to tap into with this EP. This tune was a staple in my sets for years as it was both something that usually perked a dancer’s attention, while also doubling as a DJ tool to dip into bass music or footwork. With trends in dance music coming and going, I remain obsessed with this combination. Lastly, I tried to create m a s s I v e baselines that would make teenage me bass face while yelling “ooooh” and gripping onto the rail at the front of any rave.  As this started to shape into a full project, I decided I was not gonna hold myself to rigid deadlines and take my time to craft this album out until I felt satisfied with the end result.
One time, Rau and I were at a music festival and I hung my shoes under one of the stages. They stayed there throughout the weekend, safe and undisturbed. The photo of my shoes hanging there makes us giggle and we turned it into a missing poster for this EP. Inspired by a story we made up of a raver that fell in love with footwork so passionately that they had to take their shoes off due to how hot their feet felt while dancing, never to be seen again (the shoes).

COIDO: 100% Italian Club Special - 22 September 2025

Mono Radio is all about music and the artists behind it. No fixed genres, just a flow of deep cuts and vibes. Each episode, we explore sounds with guest DJs, diving into their connection with MONO, their past, and future plans. 

This time, we feature Chuckie, the Surinamese-born, Netherlands-based pioneer behind the Dirty Dutch & Bubbling Beats sound. Known worldwide for his explosive mix of house, hip hop, and Latin influences, Chuckie rose to fame with tracks like Let the Bass Kick and high-profile collaborations with artists such as David Guetta and J Balvin. Despite his global reach, his sets remain raw, versatile, and deeply rooted in club culture. Joining him is his son, Yucky, a fresh voice in the new wave of Dutch selectors and producers. Yucky is moving in the underground, known for his bubbling edits, kuduro-inspired grooves, and genre-blurring sets. His sound is playful, bass-driven, and always looking forward. Together, they bridge two generations of club culture showing how energy, experimentation, and passion can take different shapes, yet still connect. Each artist delivers a 45–50 minute set, plus a short chat about MONO and their journey.
