‘Dirk is a purveyor of deep and funky house grooves that always make for a feel-good party atmosphere.’


Dirks love of music saw him grow up to an eclectic mix of sixties, soul, disco, drum & bass, house and techno. With such a mixed spectrum of musical influence, this translates today into a sound that can’t be categorised by one specific genre, but incorporates house, deep house and nu disco.

Dirk purchased his 1210s in 1991 and hasn’t stopped playing music since. With experience playing on pirate radio, digital radio stations,  various clubs and bars, he loves to have the opportunity to express himself musically to anyone who likes to party. Recently Dirk has supported the likes of Late Nite Tuff Guy and Purple Disco Machine.

Dirk has been lucky enough to travel the world, experiencing weird, wonderful and hedonistic parties in a variety of locations which have also provided an influence on what he feels a good party should feel like.  “For me, it’s all about playing funky music with a bit of an edge. The perfect party is when you can forget time and forget yourself. DJs need to get back to showing people a great time and stop taking themselves too seriously”

In 2016, Dirk launched his Queens brand in Edinburgh, bringing with it ‘eccentricity, glamour and a crazy carefree vibe’. With stellar line ups that include the likes of Dimitri from Paris, Pete Herbert, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Purple Disco Machine and Joey Negro, Queens provides something that hasn’t been seen in Edinburgh for quite a while. Keep your eyes open for future Queens parties; miss them at your peril!

Dirk left his family 7 years ago after a legal dispute. His hobbies include drinking, playing the guitar with his teeth and plucking his chest hair.

Abanoz performs on a broad range of styles like Disco, Breakbeat, Electro and House in a dynamic and poetic fashion.

Expressing the bonds between dance ground and the urban culture with his selection of records in his sets, Abanoz has become a 'cultural envoy' to his city Istanbul with his establishment 'NOH Radio' (2012)

NOH Radio still bringing various musicians from around the city together at its inovative program. His aspiration is to feed his work with dance, arts and street culture.

Abanoz will continue to make his music available to listeners.

Dicky Trisco is a DJ and music producer who lives and breathes what he does. His passion for music and desire for good times is well known. He has spent years chasing that sound and that feeling around the globe as an international DJ. For him DJing is all about people. He is addicted to the way music connects people and makes for better days. 

Dicky really broke through as a DJ and producer in the Nu Disco/Disco Revival years from around 2004. In particular, his run of DJ edit, original and remix releases alongside Balearic House hero Pete Herbert on Disco Deviance and Maxi Discs led to him becoming an increasingly in demand DJ with a busy international touring schedule. He is also rumoured to be the force behind the rather legendary Secret Squirrel vinyl only imprint. But who knows??? It’s a secret.

Since those early days, Dicky has toured constantly around Asia, Australia, Central/South America, USA, Europe and the UK sharing the music and the sound he loves. He has also become a regular at a long list of high profile festivals including the legendary Glastonbury, Electric Elephant, Mareh, Love International, Festival No 6 and many more.

Dicky is also a mainstay of the local scene in his hometown of Dundee, Scotland where he was a resident of the infamous ‘Small Town Club’ aka Reading Rooms for over a decade. At nights like Autodisco, Disco Deviance, A Night With and Non Stop, he learned his trade playing alongside many of his heroes and legendary DJs from around the world such as Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Rahaan, Jazzie B, Horse Meat Disco, Farley Jackmaster and many more.

Dicky also ran and curated the well-respected House music label Home Taping Is Killing Music for many years putting out a run of amazing releases. Home Taping broke a number of great House artists who have gone on to become household names in the scene including The Blessed Madonna, The Revenge, Nicholas, Borrowed Identity, Eddie C & Medlar amongst others.

Dicky continues to discover, produce and remix music for a number of quality imprints including Razor-N-Tape, File Under Disco, Home Taping, Barefoot Beats, Nervous Records and many more. He has also remixed major artists such as Bryan Ferry, Belle & Sebastian, L’Impératrice, Edwyn Collins (Orange Juice), Danielle Baldelli, Faze Action, The Orielles, Golden Dawn Arkestra  and Tensnake down in his basement studio.

Most recently Dicky has been creating original music alongside NYC music machine JKriv under the name Sentimental Animals for the Razor-N-Tape imprint. Their Love Vibration EP was very well received by disc jockeys around the world and has been played by the likes of Craig Charles who made it one of his Tracks of 2021 on his BBC Radio 6 Funk & Soul show.

Dicky became a resident DJ at Pikes in Ibiza in the summer of 2023 playing in every area - poolside, terrace, Freddies, bathtub - in this legendary club. 

He also kick started a monthly radio show out of Ibiza called International Sounds on OpenLab Radio where he showcases the music he discovers, makes and plays while travelling around the globe.

As a disc jockey, DT packs a little bit of everything into his sets of International Sounds and is committed to the idea that music and club nights should be all about escapism, joy and togetherness. 

As Dicky says love and dancing is what we need. 

Amen to that.
