Respect To The Underground


Shaka's new drop on Selections is a delightful one that combines real jazz melodies with authentic deep house. Opener 'Sacred Church' (feat Eve - main mix) immediately wins you over with the buys keys, Rhodes chords and eco-system of cosmic synths that busy about while the soulful vocal oozes cool. Jon Cutler's Distant Music mix pairs things back and makes it more of a smoky late night sound and 'Shaker Games' then blisses you out with dusty drum depths and incidental chords that are magically feel good. 'Get Me Higher' shuts down with some superb US house vibes.

EC04 / Rahaan - Edits Collection 4

Funkyjaws Music kicks off a new series here with a focus on hefty disco jams. Bodgan RA is first up to flex his muscle with 'Taboo' which is full of bright synth lines and gorgeous vocal harmonies best to some lush guitar riffs. 'Buffalo' then brings some old-school energy with chopped-up beats and scratching that eventually unravel into a feel-good 80s disco sound. The joyous vibes flow on freely through 'La Battaglia' with its cosmic guitar leads, horns and raw claps then 'Detective' shuts down with the most steamy cut of the lot complete with brilliant funky undertones and expressive synth solos.

Here's another instalment of my series focussing on one particular artist, producer or record label and this time I've chosen one of my all time faves - The 6th Borough Project. Ever since I've discovered the underground disco and house scene I think I've rarely played a set that doesn't contain one of their tracks or remixes, such is the staying power of their productions. I hope you enjoy checking this out as much as I enjoyed mixing it up! Big love to Craig and Graeme for creating such fine beats over the years.

Black Light Disco With Fingerman September 2025

My recent journey down to Dublin to play alongside the wonderful Kelly-Anne Byrne at the fantastic Hens Teeth for her Stop The Lights monthly session! An amazing space with wonderful clientele and top sound system! Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the beats we played this night. Kelly begins the session here when I take over at the hour and a half mark for 2 hours before we went B2B for the last hour with some big tunes. Hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed playing! xx

Odin Hardt doesn’t chase the main room or the big-drop crowd. He’s happiest in the sweatier corners, the small
room, where house still feels alive, unruly, and a bit dangerous. Strictly house, yes, but not stuck in some heritage
museum. Past and future on the same platter, stitched together like it’s always been that way.
He’s Scandi by blood, London by conditioning, and allergic to the obvious. Expect sets that don’t beg for attention
but reward it, music that gets under your skin and makes you move whether you meant to or not.
You’ll usually find him dancing as hard as anyone else in the room. That’s the point, really. No pedestal, no
mystique, just a conversation between records and bodies.

Leon Dahl AKA Leon D. Producer, Musician, DJ. Auckland, Aotearoa - New Zealand.

Leon D DJs regularly around NZ playing original disco, funk, soul, boogie & house music and being a vinyl junkie prefers to play vinyl-only sets.

Production credits include releases on Hot Digits Music, That's Not An Edit, Grass Green, Red Melon, Reliable Recordings and more....

Leon hosts his weekly online radio show Behind The Groove on Planet Sauce Radio, featuring recordings from his weekly gigs.

Leon cut his musical teeth playing guitar in '90s rock band Fat Mannequin, which introduced him to both the live stage and studio environment from age 16.
In '98, frustrated by the lack of tonal variety in guitars, Leon swapped his guitars for a collection of keyboards and samplers, and the rest is history. As a natural progression from producing dance music, Leon D started DJing in 1999.

Leon has clocked up DJ support slots for many international acts including Ian Pooley, Eddie Matos, FC Kahuna, DJ Joshua, Dano, Miles Hollway and Jonathan Yeo.

Leon was also part of the Cuffy & Leon D production team.
In Wellington, Cuffy and Leon teamed up in 1999 combining their gear and knowledge in pursuit of creating their own sound. 
With a number of vinyl and CD releases in the golden era of NZ dance music they crafted their sound from electronica to disco.

By day, Leon is Product Manager for the Recording, Synth, DJ & Livesound brands at Rockshop, New Zealand's largest musical instrument retailer.
