For some dance music fans, Hamish & Toby may be their new favourite DJs thanks to a recent US tour and excellent sets at festivals like Glastonbury, Dimensions, Houghton and Freerotation. 2022 was, after all, a breakthrough year for the UK duo. But in their own, close-knit world of Discogs fanatics and vinyl purists, Hamish Cole and Toby Wareham are admired and established names. They met while studying in Leeds, bonding over a shared love of wiggly bombs at countless clubs and hazy afterparties. They ran events (Butter Side Up, Dog Eat Dog), DJ’d tirelessly and continued to dig for obscure gems. Within a few years, they were both working full-time music jobs in London, booking Dimensions Festival (Hamish) and The Pickle Factory (Toby). (Hamish is now a director at Dimensions.) All in all, they’ve dedicated the past 15 years of their lives to dance music.

For all their behind-the-scenes work, Hamish & Toby’s true love is DJing together. They’re known for their long, expressive sets that go, in their own words, “all over the map.” Their RA Podcast, which was recorded live at Philadelphia party Subsurface in May, is a four-hour odyssey through golden-era house, tech house and UK garage. Proper party music, in other words. According to the duo, they were “fully locked in, as comfortable as we’ve ever felt DJing.” It really shows.

Our mate from day dot @stevehuerta takes to the wheels for episode 22, on his birthday no less. For the keen eared listener there's a few newies off his next @leizuremusic, the label he launched 3 years ago. Big ups Diesel.

GHOSTCAST 022 - HUERTA

This week on the podcast, a mix from friend of the festival and celebrated Cartulis resident Junki Inoue. Born in Tokyo but living in London since 2012, Junki's been an avid record collector from an early-age. Few have bags as deep, something shown by this mix, which happens to be an hour section of his set from Dimensions 2022. It's testament to the timeless sound he's cultivated that you'd never tell.

Catch Junki at Dimensions this summer, playing during Cartulis' showcase at Cosmos on the Saturday.

This time, the mix series welcomes long-time festival friend, NorthSouth co-founder, and Fabric resident Harry McCanna.

A key figure in London’s underground scene, Harry has been a festival favorite for years, consistently delivering standout sets with his signature style. Known for his deep record collection and evolving sound, his approach both in the booth and the studio reflects a broad range of influences.

This mix takes you through ambient, tribal, broken beat, house, and tech house, showcasing Harry’s versatility and careful curation. It’s a reminder of why his sets at Gottwood stand out year after year.

After a busy summer, including a standout debut at Houghton Festival, Harry continues to deliver his unique sound. Catch him at one of the NorthSouth parties at the Lion & Lamb, or during his residency at fabric.

We can’t wait to welcome Harry back to Gottwood in 2025. Until then, let this mix take you back to the dancefloors of Carreglwyd.

See you in the woods.

What a treat to welcome Dyed Soundorom to the podcast this week. For nearly 20 years, the Frenchman’s vibrant energy and mastery of the groove have shone - both behind the decks and in the studio.

DIM324 is 80-minutes of classic Dyed - deep house music with a psychedelic edge, mixed with precision and flair. We're excited to welcome him back to Tisno this year after a truly memorable b2b with Gene back in 2023.
