Larry Levan Live @ Gold, Tokyo (1992)(Manny'z Tapez)

I have been recording mixes for 29 years & this might be one my favourite sets ever. 

It seems I've grown to love long emotive arches – within songs as well as in programming. And Songs Not Tracks lets me do just that.

I get to showcase a variety of beautiful dance music I've been obsessed with. I can let it unfold over multiple hours, as an open-to-close club set would: with "the patience of an opening set, the drama of peak time, and the tender emotionality of closing a night" (quote from DJ Voices, one of the best writers in the dj realm).

Selections cover 5 decades and include many of my fave new releases of 2024. Once again house is front & center, but as always, surrounded by adjacent vibes (ok ok, you don't really get a real house song until 45 minutes in or so 😎) 

We begin slow, but start building soon enough. Eventually we get to peak time drama... and close with tender emotionality.

Open your mind, tune in, enjoy! 🧡

I had the pleasure of sharing the decks the lovely Sarahtonin for an extended session at BST, Hyde Park, London... on a not so summery Summers evening at BrewLDN!

The set culminated in quite a heavy downpour with most diving for cover... and the DJ booth getting very cosy while we dug out our best Rain anthems to close.

Tracks from the likes of Phil Weeks, Chaka Khan, Tiger & Woods, Dharma, ANOTR, Rhode & Brown, Blaze, Rahaan, Light Of The World, Koji Ono, First Choice, Ray Mang, Yam Who?, Severino COEO + many more

Rory Cordz & Sarahtonin - BST Hyde Park 11th July 2024

SNE live DJ set 3.8.25

Vinyl Only Deep House Mix :: 6/12/25

Bedroom Disco - (Instrumental) [Demo]

Subterranean Swing is an ambient jazz journey into the heart of the city after midnight. It's an exploration of the space between the hypnotic pulse of a deep house basement club and the smoky, introspective haze of a forgotten jazz lounge. 

Sidechain Cityscape

Momentum captures the moment after silence, the movement that never stopped, only refined.
Each track is built with precision and restraint: deep house, melodic techno, and the pulse of late nights that never needed words.
Bardoq returns in full form, darker, cleaner, and fully in control.
Nothing left to prove. Just motion.
