"This Mix Up set comes courtesy of Gratts - a prolific selector hailing from Belgium and previously based in Berlin, who now lives in South Australia where he runs his label Be Strong Be Free.

Gratts got his start collecting record and DJing in the late nineties, and has since hit up clubs all across Europe. Having released music under projects and alter ego such as Ca$hminus and Icarus Traxx over the years, he unleashed his debut Brighter Future featuring Chicago House pioneer & vocalist Robert Owens back in 2021 and has been on a roll ever since

Last month he dropped his latest track 'Jour De Fête' featuring vocalist Ange Nawasadio, a deliciously deep disco cut that is sure to light up dancefloors all summer long.

Tonight, in celebration of the track’s release, Gratts is joining us for an exclusive set where he’ll be digging deep into his collection to bring some house, techno, and acid classics to the triple j airwaves."

Upside Down Groove

Belgian Rock Gods aka dEUS and their 1999 Classic "Instant Street" thoroughly crossbred with the dark & haunting acid bleeps of Hugo Massien's Fade To Black ...
A BELPOP Frankenstein was born --- "It's Aliiiiivvvve!"

You're probably right
Seen from your side
That I've been lucky
But I've been meaning to crack all week
Yes, I've been involved
It never resolved into anything shocking
Pains playing yo-yo in my body
As we speak
And now I found something to look for
But I can't decide
'Cause I might find that to stroll behind is better than to score
Just like I did before
It wouldn't be true
Not towards you
To say that I'm staying
When on every single impulse
On every other move I react
'Cause in any old creek
With changing technique
You'll see me playing
After any old motherf*cking blow
I'll be back
We turned away from instant stuff
Our cracking codes were breaking up
Our words were sucked out it made them clean
And after lowness say it
And after more let it be known
Our codes are grown into something mean
You're probably right
As for tonight
You're making me nervous
What is it you want me to be thinking of?
I'll put on a movie
I'll play something groovy as a matter of service
I'll chuckle when you smile
As a matter of love
'Cause you know it's not my style
To be giving up now
And this pain in my side
I had enough
This time I go for Instant street
This life's a soulless excuse
For all abuse and parenthesis
The flyspecked windows and the stinking lobbies
They'll remain all the same
All the same

And because the rain fell in i started to slide
It's just a little rain child
I can't walk out and not hear a sound of you running wild
It's just a little rain child
I got to make it sound i thought i'd let you know
All i do is make you promise some things i won't know

Oh is this the part of you that beats the inside
But even if it feels right
I can't walk out and not hear a sound
Of you running wild
It's just a little rain child
I got to make it sound i thought i'd let you know
All i do is make you promise some things i won't know
Love i got to make it sound i thought i'd let you know

Oh no i got to make it sound i thought i'd let you know
But all i do is make you promise some things i won't know
Love i got to make it sound i thought i'd let you know
I thought i'd let you know, i thought i'd let you know

And because the rain fell in i started to slide

Im driving home for christmas
Oh, I cant wait to see those faces
Im driving home for christmas, yea
Well Im moving down that line
And its been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas

It's gonna take some time
But Ill get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the road
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground So I sing for you
Though you cant hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
I am driving home for christmas
Driving home for christmas
With a thousand memories

I take look at the driver next to me
Hes just the same
Just the same

Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the road
Im driving home for christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you cant hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas
Driving home for christmas
With a thousand memories

Oh, I'm in ecstasy
When she's next to me
Finally, I found peace
And I won't feel guilty
I feel a change in me
Don't care if the world can see
That shame don't belong to me

Behind every door, my heart's rushing (need your love)
And I don't need much more than her loving (need your love)
Behind every door there's another (need your love)
Reason to fight for the right to love who you love (need your love)

Until there's no need to hide it
Love who you love (need your love)
I couldn't hide it if I tried to
Your love is enough (need your love)
Until there's no need to hide it
Love who you love (need your love)
I couldn't give up if I tried to
Your love is enough (need your love)

Oh, I'm in ecstasy
