BILL BREWSTER & MF DJs | Lifesaver, Auckland, 9th March, 2025

For the next instalment of our Record Club Mix series we’re honoured to be passing the baton to Tokyo-based DJ duo BIB and MOE FURUYA. Influenced by early ‘70s soul and funk, as well as Chicago-style ‘80s disco and boogie their strictly vinyl-only sets see them playing week in week out, alongside hosting a monthly residency on the online radio station TSUBAKI fm.

“On a cold February night in Tokyo, we gathered at BIB’s home with our records and recorded the mix in a single session. Rather than a back-to-back track-by-track format, we recorded by combining different sections from each of us. We wanted to create a feel-good mix that captures the sensation of dancing barefoot in beautiful settings. This mix is a reflection of our passion for energetic music and the dancefloor. 

BIB, who has a knack for funky sounds, opened the mix with the beautiful flute melodies of Paul Horn’s ‘High Tide’, adding unexpected twists with Italo-disco gem Bravo’s ‘Touch Me Now’ and Barons’ ‘Keep The Music Coming’ to keep the mix dynamic. MOE, known for smooth disco transitions, brought in catchy grooves like King Errisson’s ‘Living It Up On Jupiter’ and Southroad Connection’s ‘Just Laying It Down’, before lifting the energy to euphoric heights with Uncle Louie’s ‘Sky High’, making it a perfect journey from start to finish.” - BIB and MOE FURUYA

Big thanks to BIB and MOE for the mix, they are in the midst of planning a tour of Japan this summer so keep an eye out for new dates.
