Some artists leave a legacy that stretches far beyond a great single or a number 1 album.

Artist Focus is a new series hosted by the extended Melodic Distraction family that deep dives into the life and times of the musicians that have defined the sound of modern music. From the stone cold classics to the unearthed gems and forgotten B-sides, our community tribute an hour of music by a single artist that has had a notable impact on their life.

This week, Joe Morris covers the sounds of Andrew Weatherall.

Hey y'all!

After an incredible party at Heideglühen, we’re back to recap the latest episodes as we’ve got the pleasure to collaborate with Feels Like Friday on two shows last week. Part One with DJ Philippa is now up on Mixcoud and YouTube. Part Two with Rebecca Vasmant will follow tomorrow.

It is always good to have Philippa at the office as she is not only a very  lovely person, but also an incredible musical mind. She has played a deep and energetic show and gave us many insides and previews to upcoming releases, some of her favorite tunes and current hot releases she’s digging. Make sure to listen back! It’s a fun episode.

For our latest TSIB show, Leo K brought in his usually mixed bag spanning from Soul, Modern Soul and Classic Disco to German Jazz-Funk rarities and forgotten House anthems with the aim to set the mood right for the weekend. With success! He had us all bouncing at the office. In the chat some of our regular listeners recognized this mix as one of the best so far.

So make sure to listen and to watch back. It’s absolutely worth it.

Let the Flowers Remind Us

Rescates EP
Label - Disco Mind
Released - 4th September 2025
Format - Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/vagabundo-club-social-rescates-vinyl/1089588-01/

Disco Mind heads all the way to South America for this next outing with Colombian duo Vagabundo Club Social at the helm, having previously impressed on the likes of Razor n Tape. 'El Gato' kicks off with bright, expressive disco horns and fat, low-slung drums that draw your hips right in. 'Yim Zalzedo' has another thick-set rhythm and this time the horns take a back seat to the percussion and jazzy keys and congas. 'Tabu' flips the vibes and taps into a revivalist 90s house sound with piano chords getting hands in the air, then 'Adicto Al Limon' shuts down with a perfect uplifting and feel good Balearic house sound with a classic Chic bassline.
