Nothing Special Live: Tia Cousins Opening (18.01.25)

Tosi is a Tokyo-based DJ known for energetic, genre-blending sets that weave together house, disco, cosmic, balearic, italo disco, synth pop, and all-mix styles. In 2005, he co-founded the collective and label Timothy Really, becoming an integral part of the local scene. More recently, he’s been releasing hidden gem Re-Edits under the name C.O.M.P.A.S. alongside fellow collective member Sisi that have been championed by DJs across Japan and beyond.

Tosiは東京出身のDJ 。90年代後半から都内クラブシーンでキャリアを積み、ハウス、ディスコ、コズミック、バレアリック、イタロ・ディスコ、シンセポップを縦横無尽に織り交ぜる独自のグルーヴでフロアを魅了してきた。2005年にはコレクティブ兼レーベル「Timothy Really」を共同設立し、シーンの中核に関わる。近年は同郷のSisiとともにC.O.M.P.A.S.名義でリエディットトラックをリリースし、国内外のDJからサポートを受けている。

Crown Ruler Mix #37 - Suze Ijó 

Next up on the CR mix series we’re celebrating the Rotterdam queen doing what she does best. 

Recorded in April at the notorious Good Room BK – lift off for a 3.5 hour voyage of pure unadulterated, deep house rapture.

An expansive mix that grabs you instantly and continuously ascends, weaving together striking shades of soulful house burners. Moving the body and soul with perceptive precision – rich grooves, deep rhythms, and warm vocal splashes seamlessly flow across her set, transporting you right to the dancefloor. 

A true steward of the golden age house ethic, get yourself giddy before Ijó returns to Australian shores this summer via our good friends at @findingfigaro

Eamon Harkin, Peak Time at Mister Sunday, October 5, 2025

JD Twitch is a true musical magpie. Over his long and storied career the Scot has been responsible for seminal Glasgow party Optimo alongside Jonnie Wilkes, has put out post punk compilations, done trance mixes, run various different labels (from Autonomous Africa to Optimo Music) and is a famously skilled and eclectic DJ who has headlined all over the world. He has done a fabric CD and a compilation for R&S, produces with Dave Clark as Optimo (Espacio) as well as solo under a wide range of aliases. As such he is a veritable mine of musical knowledge and a real pillar of the underground scene. For his Dekmantel podcast he has delivered us something, as you would expect, rather special.

“It's a mix of all Dutch dance tracks from the very early 90s,” he says. “It features a handful of well known classics but lots of forgotten gems and these were all records I played incessantly in very sweaty raves at that time, so a few of the records are a little scratchy, dusty, worn down. I wanted to do this mix as I was mad about Dutch records back then and I think Holland produced so much amazing music during this period and had a very distinctive, unique sound and perhaps a lot of people today don't know it was one of the pioneering nations of house and techno. The club I did back then, Pure, brought over a lot of dutch artists to play in the early 90s - Dimitri (many, many times), Eddie de de Clercq, Marcello, Random XS, Terrace, Miss Djax, Unit Moebius, Orlando Voorn, Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia and Acid Junkies to name a few.  Lastly, I think the records from back then still sound great today!” Tune in and you will surely agree.
