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 …

Nearly a year since our last offering we're back with DRB21 and it's well worth the wait..

Two bubblin' summer cuts we've been sitting on for hot minute. On A side duties we're very happy to host the inaugural release from The James Creed Project who many of you will know as half of The Ghost. A close friend and exquisite selector who we didn't know had been working away in the studio. On the flip we've got a dubbed out version of a beautiful production from 1999 by the Roc Steadi crew.

The longtime Perlon affiliate goes for big basslines and big grooves. 

It's 1996, and a young Fumiya Tanaka is shelling out hefty yet minimal percussive techno at Club Rockets in Osaka to an audience enraptured. Released as Mix-Up, the 90-minute recording captures Tanaka sounding rather like Jeff Mills or Surgeon. It's far cry from the sound he's known for today.

Fumiya Tanaka's creative arc has seen him move away from these thunderous sounds to warmer shades of house and minimal. Since 2016, he's found a home on the inimitable German minimal label, crafting out a distinctive sound within the labels roster with an affection for tumbling basslines and spooky atmospheres. 

From 1996 to 2023, Tanaka ran a party series in Tokyo, Osaka and Berlin called "Chaos," which encapsulates the ethos of freedom Tanaka brings to a party. "When you hear music you've never heard before and encounter unknown territory, you will be so happy and totally absorbed," he told us back in 2019. "I want to keep that feeling."

RA.964 achieves exactly that. Nearly three decades removed from his burst onto the scene, and after a good few years of asking, Tanaka's RA Podcast captures him in full house mode. Recorded at a Slapfunk party in Manchester, the Perlon maestro keeps the vibe funked-up, chunky and warm, punctuated by the occasional big breakdown and the odd lick of garage rudeness. No tracklist for now—but as Tanaka knows well, half the fun lies in the mystery.

Kicking off March for VIBRATIO)))NS is the homie Reduan aka @fellagha . Stop me if you've heard this one before: "we met on a dance floor and we hit it off". Tale as old as time, but always a fact. Across multiple dance floors I always saw Reduan grooving to the music, and if you walked in to a room with him vibing to tunes you instantly knew the set and space were going to deliver. His bio reads "Music enthusiast", and it's true to the absolute max of what that implies: a warm soul, dancer and DJ with the deepest of musical palettes, something perfectly represented in mix #22.

Here's the mix in his own words:

"The weather was grey, the streets were empty, Berlin was calm. It’s the end of the year, and I had a few days off. The conditions were perfect for me to reflect on the year, and so I did, by putting together this mix. It contains a lot of records that I have obsessed with throughout 2024, music that held my hand when I needed, made my bright days brighter, and simply did the nasty to my ear, all put together in one coherent musical journey. I am extremely grateful to Moe, who has been a great addition to my life this last year, for this „3 hours, everything goes“ opportunity, which I interpreted quite literally. I hope you all like the outcome, happy new year folks.

VIBRATIO)))NS #22 - Guest Mix by Fellagha

Ahead of his Dimensions debut this summer, we’re delighted to welcome Italian supreme selector @francesco-del-garda to our mix series. 

Honing his skills since the 90’s, Francesco Del Garda has built a strong reputation throughout Europe for his signature blends of groovy house, oddball techno, UK garage and electro. Alongside running @timelessseries, Del Garda has notched up appearances in seminal venues around the world, as well as iconic b2b’s with the likes of Binh, Nicolas Lutz and Onur Özer.

We can’t wait to welcome the wizard this year to the Fort, where he joins the Butter Side Up crew’s takeover of the Void, their boat party alongside Binh, alongside partying with some of the usual suspects: Lutz, Zip, Omar, The Ghost and Jane Fitz who'll also be appearing across the weekend. Until then - tuck in to an hour of vintage FDG.
