My guest this week is The Loneliest Hunk, a DJ and remix artist from New Zealand who I have been following for a while. He has a monthly mix series called “Recluse Radio”  combining eclectic vibes of Disco, Funk, Electronica & Indie Dance. And if you head over to his soundcloud page, you will find some stunning edits which are available for free download.  You can read his full bio below

** THE LONELIEST HUNK BIO **
I spent 14 years in London and then 7 years in Ibiza before returning home to NZ so have soaked up a lot of different musical vibes from both of those places. I started out as a guitarist in a band.

Around that time I also bought some decks and learnt how to mix records for house parties. I was instantly hooked. Being able to play with the energy in the room and it being a different experience every time was really exciting. 

I’ve been playing and making music pretty much my whole life across a range of genres. The musical style of The Loneliest Hunk reflects a lot of that. 

A lot of older tracks have already been reworked these days so it’s a very happy day when you find an untouched gem that you can rework into your own style.

Da Lukas is back on Re-Loved with the 'Gimme More Groove' EP

The title track 'Gimme More Groove' draws upon his love for obscure disco deeply rooted in funk punctuated by punchy brass hooks and sensuous female vocal chants.

This is followed by 'Hotfinger' which ups the tempo, going deeper into disco territory and is driven by a pulsating bassline and drums laying the foundations for the 'Car Wash' style string line that's a serious earworm!

If ever there was someone who the phrase “How does he find time to make that?” was about, serial editor and remixer Pete Le Freq is it. His reworks have been played on BBC Radio 6 regularly by Craig Charles, and DJs the world over, and the sheer number of tracks he produces have caused people to suggest he doesn't sleep much.

Pete started producing over 12 years ago, and made a bit of noise with his house label Llama Farm Recordings. He's been remixed by Jay-J, Eric Kupper and Kenny Summit, appeared on compilations with Joey Negro and LCD Soundsystem, and played alongside  the likes of Crazy P, Inland Knights, CagedBaby and a few others. 

Since discovering the things he was sampling were better than the things he was making, Pete found that retouching and reworking the originals gave him his producing mojo back, and soon after Alpaca Edits was born. 

The York based edits label has since become home to disco superstars such as Dr Packer, Chuggin Edits, and Mannix. He’s been resident DJ at Sotano in York for the last 7 years, and this has fuelled his productions to greater heights. He’s known for playing 5 hour sets that incorporate both his new productions and others versions of serious disco action.

2019 has seen Pete get a vinyl release alongside the likes of Fingerman, Al Kent and Sleazy McQueen on Samosa Recordings, produce remixes for the likes of Hot Digits and Midnight Riot, as well as having 4 eps of his reworks on his own Alpaca Edits. He’s also debuted at Tramlines Festival in Sheffield, and made a return to rock the Toil Trees stage at Beatherder for the second year running. 

November saw him support Michael Gray and Fingerman at Distrikt in Leeds and Derek Kaye in York. The year ended with him beating the likes of Mousse T and Ray Mang in the Traxsource Nu-Disco Top 100 Artists of the year. 

Lockdown saw Pete go into rework overdrive, running a weekly Thursday night stream, as well as starting a regular show on Street Sounds Radio. He also worked with Ashley Slater of Freak Power on some original tracks.

2021 has seen the return of Pete’s That Needs An Edit nights in York, and will culminate in December with a guest slot from Shaka Loves You.
Roll on 2022!
