Last week's Ode to Nat at Wiggle was a moment of pure and electric bliss that wholesomely reanimated the original spirit of Wiggle as it did the ethos of its dear, late co-founders Nathan and Lou. Their contagious grins could be felt filling what remaining space was left between the dancers. I arrived exhausted after an 11-hour door-to-door journey from Romania, but the energy from all the faces, familiar and new, quickly swept all that away. Unsurprisingly, Fabian and Josh clearly have it in their blood to pick up the baton from their parents under the guidance of Terry. Everyone who I heard played impeccable sets, but I'm just gutted I didn't get to catch the boys with Harvey under their 3 minds alias earlier on, but I heard it was on point as ever. Wiggle is back, and long may it thrive! Oi oi!

Big thanks to Eddie, who kindly recorded my set.

Jane Fitz took the stage twice with a B2B set this at rural 2024, and she appeared on the final day with her musical partner Jade Seatle, who co-hosts the DIY party “Night Moves” in their home, London. The final day started out rainy, but ended up with sunny skies. This set was deeply connected with such a dramatic ending. Enjoy this euphoric collection of left-field tech house gems.

2024年は、二度にわたるB2Bセットでの登壇となったJane Fitzが、最終日のクロージングを共にしたのは、彼女の本拠地であるロンドンで共にDIYパーティ〈NIGHT MOVES〉を主催する相方のJade Seatleでした。雨模様で幕を開け、最後には陽光差し込む晴天にまで辿りついたドラマチックな終幕と深く結びついた展開。多幸感溢れる珠玉のレフトフィールド・テックハウスコレクションを堪能ください。

Artist: Rob & Si
Title: Moneyshot EP
Label: Drugsex Recordings
Cat No: DSEX001
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A. Money Shot
B1. Surface Static (Fuzz Mix)
B2. Surface Static (Iteration X Mix)


Originally released in 2004, Moneyshot EP marked the debut of Drugsex Recordings — a short-lived but cult New York-based vinyl label born out of the creative partnership between UK producers Rob Pearson and Simon Copleston. Having already worked together on several projects, the duo had begun carving out a distinctive sound that bridged classic tech house grit with a sleazy, after-hours sensibility. Moneyshot EP would be the first full expression of that vision — a raw, late-night three-tracker oozing groove and attitude.

On the A-side, the title track ‘Money Shot’ wastes no time setting the tone. Built around Pearson and Copleston’s signature percussive swing, it’s driven by an infectious rolling bassline and punctuated with muted horn stabs and tight, clipped rhythms — perfect for peak-time dance floors with just a touch of filthiness.

Flip it over, and ‘Surface Static (Fuzz Mix)’ dives deeper into the haze. A chugging, low-slung groover with a hypnotic pull, this one’s aimed squarely at the heads — late-night dancers who like their tech house laced with texture, grit, and a little mind-bending edge.

Rounding off the EP is a remix under Simon’s Iteration X alias: a dubbed-out, sax-infused reimagining of ‘Surface Static’ that leans into the deeper end of the spectrum while keeping the groove tight. Soulful, spacious, and subtly psychedelic, it completes a package that’s as varied as it is cohesive.

A rare find on the second-hand market, Moneyshot EP has become a prized artifact among collectors of early 2000s tech house — a slice of underground history finally getting the wider recognition it deserves and continuing to share the musical legacy that our much loved friend and collaborator Simon left behind.

“Nah, man. Like, there’s no way he can hold all those mixes.” “Yeah look—he’s gone and dropped another one.” Haha 

Bit of craic there last night after coming in from a few pinteens. Pure smile on my face the whole mix. It might not be perfect, but it's mine. Hope you like it! No hassle if ya don’t. Gewan bai x
