Hamish & Toby [Live @ ADE '21] - SLAPCAST067

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.

BSU009: Liquid Earth - Deputy Dog EP

Butter Side Up hits release number 10 with Pulse Fiction, a fresh four-tracker from London-based T. Jacques. The Nuance de Nuit co-founder aims squarely at the dance floor on this EP and it arrives at the start of December with original artwork by Max Binski.

This is sophisticated house music with a truly seductive sense of late-night charm.

Butter Side Up Records has put together a first-ever remix EP which is due to land in March 2024. It finds Gene On Earth, Garrett David, Huerta, and Driss Bennis aka OCB all adding their own spin to the still standout originals from the album Sweely released here in 2022, and it comes with original artwork from Max Binski.

Hamish Cole | The MUDD Show | 12.04.24

Butter Side Up’s 12th release, Weekend at Raymond’s Place’ comes from San Diego’s hotly tipped John Manhard. A densely textured and unpredictable six-track EP whose languid groove and swing will sound equally sweet warming up a dancefloor or late into the following day. 

Based in LA and resident of cult party V:isions, John’s been on a roll of late, with releases on the likes of Mui Mui, Perfect Timings & InTheBagg (alongside Dylan Payne) cementing him as a singular producer with an impressively broad reference board. 

The EP’s first track, ‘Shake Your Body’ immediately gets under the skin, a bouncy groove and synth-line pulling you under its command. Over the next 30-odd minutes the spell doesn’t lift - deep house tropes twist and turn playfully over shuffling breaks and swinging basslines, reminiscent of West-Coast house’s finer moments. Manhard’s studio-craft and ear for the unpredictable give a fresh perspective to a much revered and distinctively Pacific-coast sound.

This is music for the fuzzy margins either side of peak time. It’s fitting that Hamish first met and heard John’s music at a hazy afters in LA back in 2022, drawn to a selection of tracks which were largely his own. Two years later these ideas have refined to form another stellar release on BSU, complete with original artwork from Max Binski and scheduled for release in early Ocober.

Our very own Hamish & Toby take the reins for podcast number 73, with a special recording from their opening set at Houghton this past summer.

Lock in for 2.5+ hours of deep & summery house gems from across the map. Anyone that was there will know how much of a sweet day this was, so it's our pleasure to re-live this moment.

BSU 073 - Hamish & Toby (Live from Houghton ’24)

Butter Side Up with Hamish b2b KRN - 30 March 2025

Our homie Garrett steps up for BSU013 with Nu-Relix, his first full EP in two years. We’re hyped to welcome one of our favourite beat-makers to the BSU family.

The record kicks off with peak-time pressure on Play2Win, followed by breezy ’90s US house flavours of Grow Up. Flip it for a dreamy deep-house double — pure GD energy for the early-hours.

Hamish & Toby Live at Concrete - 15th June 2018

Here’s the last 90 mins of our warm up for Donato Dozzy at The Pickle Factory’s 3rd Bday last November.

Such a buzz spinning on that system, and nice to play some slightly different tunes.. and some old favourites as well. We never intended to release any of it, but have really enjoyed coming back to it over the past few months- we hope you will too.

Hamish & Toby Live at The Pickle Factory 3rd Birthday - 23rd November 2018

Back in 2016, I recorded a Matthew Herbert tribute mix, specifically focussing on his Herbert material from the mid to late 90s, a sound that was and still is a huge influence on me and all my pals. 

Recorded live from the KMAH studio in Leeds for my radio show, however the upload has since disappeared from the internet and a few people have asked me to re-up, so here it is... 

The recording quality isn't great due to it being a recovered compressed file, but hope you enjoy :)
