Danny McLewin aka Skyrager is one of my favorite people on the planet. His ability to dig out rare unheard of bangers and drop them hot on the dance floor sums up all the reasons we love to go out. Based out of England, Danny travels the world spreading love through music with the group Psychemagik and under his solo moniker Skyrager. An avid record collector and dealer, I'm always so excited to comb through all his mixes. Before After Hours takes you on a blissful musical odyssey. From demented dubbed out synth reggae jams, Krautrock, Italo, Arabic disco and beyond, this mix has it all. Enjoy friends x

Mr Scruff & Floating Points DJ set from Plastic People, Sat 25 June 2011

It is not everyday we are sent a 5 hour mix from someone we have asked to join our Phonica mix series; but when Sheffield & Manchester legend Luke Una sends one… you have to jump straight into it! Having become first recognised in the late 80’s and 90’s as one half of production team “The Unabombers” with Justin Crawford, Luke over the years has shown to be a master in all genres be it Balearic, to Brazilian to E soul, House, Disco and Techno, you name it! With his Worldwide FM show over the years gaining a cult following Luke has gained an even more of a broader crowd from his curation of his E Soul Cultura compilation series via the label Mr.Bongo (Both comps topping our EOY lists in 2022 and 2023). This exact vast taste (that is displayed in these compilations) is very much pummelled into this five hour journey of a mix like a piece of clay and sculpted into a fine piece of art. We had a chat with Luke about this timeless mix and what he has been up to lately: http://offtherecord.net/phonica-mix-series-119luke-una/

Here’s a new mix to enjoy, recorded at Womb for RDC 15th anniversary closing party. Thank you for letting me play my heart out for this one, on a great system and most importantly with an amazing, open minded crowd that is eager to be surprised. Also a big Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu to all the RDC Team and DJs, the friends and dancers who came along for the ride.

We are extremely honoured to welcome the Chicago house legend - Larry Heard (also known as Mr. Fingers) who has recorded an exclusive special mix for all Dimensions fans out there.

Larry Heard is a musician widely known for the Chicago house music he produced in the mid-1980s and continues to produce today. He was a member of the influential group Fingers, Inc. and has recorded solo under various names, most notably Mr. Fingers.

His smooth production style with soulful vocals and long instrumental passages that de-emphasized percussion spearheaded the subgenre known as deep house. One of his first releases was a collaboration with singer Robert Owens, released under the group name "Fingers Inc." The song "Mystery of Love" instantly became a classic hit, rising to number 10 on the Billboard Dance charts.
