DiCE_NZ is based from Aukland New Zealand and has been making some waves on the scene with some superb edit efforts on labels such as Too Slow To Disco and Slightly Transformed. This first outing on Fingerman’s Hot Digits Music imprint sees the producer flexing his production muscles with 3 varied nu-disco tracks jam packed full of funk and a whole lot of soul. Opener “Believe Me” harks back to some sultry Groove Armada poolside vibes featuring some wonderful vocal action from Brittany Kate before we move into some bubbling acid flecks on the funk filled mid tempo stomper “Don’t Ya Know”. The third track from DiCE_NZ brings things down for some gorgeous slo-mo funk of title cut “The Situation” which wouldn’t be out of place in a 90’s soulful hip-hop set due to its laidback vibe and breezy vocal touches. Remix action comes from Hot Gorilla Records Andy Buchan who ramps up the Sax with his great version of “Believe Me”, dubbing out the vocals and giving it some great floor appeal. Finally Fingerman grabs “Don’t Ya Know” by the horns and fills it with sharp percussion and punchy beats with his rework. 

Play Loud!

So I was looking through some Valentine Brothers albums for inspiration, and spotted the title. Really didnt expect this to be a cover of THAT song. Anyway, this happened.

On this episode I showcased some of the goodness that's recently come out on the fabulous Discoholics Anonymous 3 compilations. I mixed in a few other edits and oldies in between too, and kept things reasonably chilled for the most part. Picked the pace up a bit before the end of my hour with a new tune from myself. 

For the second hour I handed things over to my mate Kaz, AKA Miss Chief. Her set was high energy as her sets always are, filled with jackin house and housed up funky disco edits. Truly lovely vibes, I think she smashed this one! 

Big ups and respect to Kaz not only for a great mix but also for being a top person despite having a bit of a shitty year. Look forward to seeing you again soon dear! Don't forget to give Miss Chief a follow to check out some of her other mixes... https://soundcloud.com/misschief1

I'll be back in January with more fantastic guest mixes. Have a lovely Christmas you funky people!

His prolific remixes have been played by DJs worldwide — he’s a regular at Beatherder, made his Ring stage debut this summer alongside Utah Saints and Jaegerossa, and is a Mastermix remixer alongside Ben Liebrand, Sgt Slick and DJ S. He’s shared decks with Young Pulse, Michael Gray, Craig Charles, Dr Packer and Jo Whiley, and already has dates booked for 2026.
