Our first K / D feature came from New York based Dj Qu many moons ago on his Fabric London debut alongside Jus Ed and Fred P. Since then Dj Qu has raised his profile and his Strength music label, learnt valuable lessons in the dj box concerning the energy and freedom on the dance floor and now we welcome Qu’s first album Gymnastics on his Strength Music imprint.

Dj Qu used to be a dancer on the other side of the Dj box and Gymnastics is a body off work that represents an artist pushing out ideas,  finishing off some thinking and finishing off a certain chapter that comes with producing and completing an album.  There is definitely a certain tension and rhythm within the works that feed and inspire the fluency, flow, dialogue, and feeling of the album which will reward over several listens. There is a specific vocal ‘I Bet You Can't Right Now’ that will sonically arrest and traverse's your consciousness into thought whilst underpinned by a deadly dark groove. You will also find some subtle piano workouts contrasting the timbre and gritty drum programming that Qu is slowly becoming recognisable for. There is a very special and insightful conversation between two people presented around the middle of the mix which draws some enlightenment and context to the body of work which overall sets a personal benchmark for Qu to build and progress from, and as stated below I too would love to see this album road tested at the Paradise Garage in its hay day just to document the reaction on the dance floor and all that jazz. The heat from the New York House community will become more and more apparent going from strength to strength and Dj Qu’s album reaffirms this distinguished period.

Mr. G's Spot - 19.05.2023

Bridging the generation gap right here, the Druffalo Hit Squad lends a helping hand with a heads up call to the hopes and dreams of boys and girls anywhere, anytime, anyplace. You might feel disillusioned, disenchanted, shattered, heartbroken, isolated, ignored, left over, left out, misunderstood, mistreated, underestimated, unwanted and unloved. We’ve been there. We suffered. We nearly dropped. But we draw conclusions. And we reached out. And we set in motion. And we found what we were looking for. This is for the survivors…
