Dr Banana is a name that commands a lot of respect in certain corners of the dance music world. The man has his Ph.D in record digging—not literally, mind you, but play along—and key to his success is the sense of fun, joy and ecstasy he brings to his DJing. UK garage historian? Sure. Blinding DJ? Definitely. He likes to play records you've never heard before, records that not only make you dance but might remind you of some of your favourite, formative records of yore.

The UK artist started out with a fashion line and some records and ended up an influential label boss, collector and DJ. He made his name with skippy, retro UK garage—sometimes from new producers and sometimes unearthed from the archives—and nicely coincided with the genre's explosion in popularity. Since then, he's highlighted everything from old-school German garage to new-school producers like K-LONE. His DJ sets have only become more adventurous and, crucially, even more bumping. Jungle, R&B, tech house, you name it. His RA Podcast zeroes in on a vintage-sounding, rollicking kind of house music, full of seismic disco basslines and quirky vocal samples. It's as celebratory as it is mysterious.

Once, Dr Banana was a not so well-kept secret for the heads—the kids in Berlin and London who were starting to realize the similarities between UK garage, minimal and tech house. Now, he's for everyone, and starting to earn the wider recognition he deserves.

Gene On Earth - Exclusive Set for OCHO by Gray Area [8/23]

This live recording is a special one. Voigtmann stepped up to a packed Beach Stage on the first night of the festival and nailed it, his signature style of funk-filled house nearly sank the dancefloor during Picnic's takeover. Thanks Claus 🫡

Next up in our SlapCast series is a true bastion of the underground circuit. Always bringing smiles whilst mixing up different styles of house, garage, techno and breaks. His reputation as one of the best selectors echoes across the globe and we are honoured to have a brand new mix from him to present to you for your dancing pleasure …. Give it up for Truly Madly. 

Also known as a bit of a joker which we experienced the first time he came to play for us. Pretending to be way over the limit with booze he was due to get on the decks to play. Concerned about his ability to hold court , Yogh decided to call Tristan da Cunha to ask advice on what he should do ? Should he let him play in such a drunken state or should he let him do his thing? 

As it turned out Truly was just joking and went on to smash it like he does and made this wonderful T-shirt to add to the joke. What a punchline … 

What a legend …
