The universe did its best to scupper this episode, with a no show from my scheduled guest and a corrupted USB stick nearly spelling the end. But somehow it prevailed, with a rushed reformatting and partial reloading of the USB and an heroic last minute effort from my replacement special guest. More on that in a minute. 

My half of the show was heavy on the promos, with new sounds from Folkness, Dr Packer, Ken@Work, The Magic Track, Dexter Jones, TURF as well as an absolute blinder of a track from Magnolia that’s about to drop on The Disco Express. I also road tested a couple of bits that I’ve been busy with in the studio over the last week or so. 

We very nearly ended up with two hours of me as the guest I had lined up let me down, but fortunately I was rescued by an up and coming DJ from Duisburg, Germany. Jasmin, AKA Jay-Kay is the fiancee of fellow Disco Walton DJ BK, and she very kindly stepped in at a moment’s notice to save the day. She’s new to DJing but already getting out there with various guest mix appearances, including one with DJ BK just the day before this one for The Disco Waltons Sunday Service. 

Despite being new to the game Jasmin has mixed up a treat for us, with selections covering disco, chunky retro boogie, chugging spacey nu-disco, some Madonna, some Chaka Khan, even some Prince… what a lovely selection!

I’m hugely grateful for Jasmin for volunteering at such short notice and saving everyone from two hours of me, and I love the fact that she’s so willing to practise and put her mixes out there despite being a relative newcomer. Can’t wait to meet her at ADE in a couple of months!

The House of Miss Chief Week 1

The Black Light Disco Shows sprinkles the fairy dust all over themyhouseradio.fm airwaves a little later on with a very special takeover show to rev your Monday up.  

This week, we welcome Newcastle lads RJ into the bright lights of BLD Towers; giving them the VIP treatment (including hot towels) and the freedom of the 7th floor Sonic Research Lab.

RJ are North East of England duo Richard Harle and Chris Bremner. Their partnership has spanned the last two decades, during which time they have amassed a huge following in the UK as well as Europe. RJ have put on some spectacular nights in the legendary Hoochie Coochies in their home town and played alongside some of the biggest names out there - including such luminaries as Dave Lee, The Reflex, Natasha Kitty Kat, Copyright, Sandy Rivera and Harry Romero to name drop but a few. 

Their love of original disco, soul and smokey, funky grooves oozes out of their sets, and we’re absolutely thrilled to hand the entire show over to them to give you a taste of what they’re all about.

You can hear more of RJ's mixes on their Soundcloud page here:

Glossed - G4NGSTERB3AT (Original Mix)

If there’s anyone who prompts the question “When does he find time to make that?” it’s serial editor and remixer Pete Le Freq. For more than 20 years he’s been reworking disco and funk classics as label boss of Alpaca Edits and Llama Farm Recordings, updating originals with a distinctive dance‑floor edge. 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. 

Simply put:  he makes what he loves in the headphones come out the big speakers.
