May 15th marks the birthdate of one of our favorite DJs - Roy Thode. Technically masterful, pioneering some of the most progressive methods in DJing whilst manifesting an exceptionally educated and tasteful selection of music, Roy Thode is truly an artist when it comes to the craft of DJing. Personally, as DJs, we've learned so much from listening to Roy Thode, 40 years later he continues to inspire us in such relevant ways. 

Roy Thode, a native New Yorker from Long Island, moved to the city in his early 20’s after establishing his DJ skills as a young man growing up in Wantaugh. Roy was perhaps best known for being the DJ for “Saturday Nights at the Ice Palace” in Cherry Grove. His NYC DJ career was highlighted with residencies at both Studio 54 and The Saint however it was the Long Island Gay club scene that fueled and created the foundation for Roy’s illustrious career as perhaps one of the best technical DJ’s of his era.

This mix was recorded at the Ice Palace - in many ways, his home. Being able to share this previously unreleased mix is a tremendous honor for us and we hope you can appreciate this as much as we do. A huge thank you to Marsha Stern for working with us and making this little project a reality.

ROY THODE’s Birthday Celebration at the Ice Palace Fire Island - Recorded May 16, 1981

Live recording of my 1AM set at the highly anticipated Disco All Dayer event in Dublin this year. Such an amazing reception and what a joy to work the crowd with these selections.

It's rare to see these events take place in Ireland, but when they do, it's absolute magic. Massive thanks to Pablo (Fatty Fatty Phonographics) for inviting me to play and putting together such an incredible atmosphere. Can't wait to attend this again next year.

Deep House Volume 6 – Back to the Deep is a return to the roots of classic deep house. Smooth grooves, hypnotic rhythms, and lush atmospheres come together in this immersive journey into the underground. From minimal late-night vibes to rich soulful textures, this album captures the pulse of deep house in its purest form – raw, emotional, and irresistibly danceable. Let yourself sink into the flow.
