Unfortunately Red Greg was not able to come down to Leiden for our last event at Wibar, in Leiden. But we couldn't be more happier with what local disco/house legend Marcel Vogel did for us that sweaty funky night in June. What a great set!! Marcel opened up the night and warmed up the club for our resident dj's O;Riordan.

Mareh Mix - Episode #49:  Rahaan

Really excited to share my opening set for Jeremy at Phonox in London! Tried to set the tone right with some soul/funk 7's before going into more disco and boogie and handing over to him with some house-ier bits.

This one meant a lot to me, playing with my favourite DJ in my favourite club so it is great to be able to document it here, hope you enjoy as much as I did...

Opening set for Jeremy Underground (Recorded live @ Phonox in Aug 2022)

Rahaan & Mr Mendel teamed up for a night of underground disco and house at BAR, Rotterdam. Two generations of DJ's, from Chicago and Amsterdam, spinning back2back all night long!

Live From Lille France 11/05/2023

“Let’s set the scene. You’re walking through Williamsburg. It’s not the Williamsburg you remember but you know there’s a proper dance party happening somewhere. Oh, what’s this? A tiny fruit market? You see people entering but not exiting. Also the lights are dim for some reason. You poke your head in, cough up some cash, and you’re immediately greeted by a Pharoah Sanders remix playing loud (but not too loud) on Klipschorns and La Scalas. You’ve arrived at the Rocksteady Disco night at Milagrosa Mezcaleria. Next thing you know you’re making out.”

Whether he’s taking the roof off a club with his unique selection of deep and tough house music, enchanting a backroom with a genre-bending set of disco, Balearic, rock and hip hop or playing chillout music in a bay in Croatia, Bill Brewster is the man for all occasions.

In a former life, Bill was a punk rocker, a chef and also the co-editor of football magazine When Saturday Comes but has been a record nerd all of his life. He began DJing in the 1980s, but came into his own in the early 1990s, particularly during a two-year stint in New York running DMC’s office, where nights at the Sound Factory and hanging out with Danny Tenaglia gave him the musical grounding you can still hear in his music today. Bill was also one of the founding residents at Fabric in London, a position he held for five years. There are few still playing regularly today that have his dedication, eclecticism and encyclopaedic knowledge of music.

His parallel life is as a writer and with his long-term partner-in-crime Frank Broughton they have written four books together, including the acclaimed Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (latest edition published last July), How To DJ (Properly) and The Record Players. The pair are also behind the legendary DJhistory.com and their party, Low Life, has been running for nearly 30 years. They now spend most of their time on a dinghy moored on
the Rochdale Canal.

He has been working in the industry’s fringes for over 40 years including the running of various labels from Twisted UK and Forensic in the ’90s to Disco Sucks and Anorak in the noughties. Occasionally Bill finds time to secrete himself away in a studio to make music
or cook up edits. And when he’s not doing any of that he has a family and a dog called Mavis to tend to. He is currently working on a secret project involving badgers, GM crops and disco.

Hailing from Chicago, the city which gave birth to House music Rahaan has been spinning house and disco since the 80’s when he started playing at house parties across the city.

In the 3 decades since Rahaan has become a Chicago legend, a DJ who is widely recognised for his exceptional skills behind the decks and his exquisite taste in music. Lately he has also been earning plaudits for his production skills with some truly outstanding releases.

Recently he has released on some key labels including Lumberjacks In Hell, Street Edits and Dopeness Galore. His tracks are steeped in dancefloor groove, music made by a DJ with the sole intention of moving that floor.

Rahaan is a producer who has clearly learned his trade via many hours behind the decks studying the flow of the dance-floor and the tracks which have the power to excite and enthral.

Starting off playing from cassette tapes with a group of friends under the moniker ‘Chuck Brothers’ he started to build an extensive house and disco collection in the 90’s after a move to Wisconsin. A return to Chicago in 1996 saw him start to build his stellar reputation as one of Chicago’s stand out house and disco DJs with residencies at ‘The Spot’ and one of Chicago’s best clubs ‘Buddha Lounge’. A reputation he would cement with gigs all over the globe in the proceeding years.
