Maria Ferreira aka MVRIA, has been an integral piece in establishing a renown plot of goodness within the underground dancefloor scene in Oporto, Portugal. Backed by a solid community that has welcomed carefully hand picked local and international acts, she's been a key figure in making Passos Manuel an institution of higher standards of truth when it comes to quality fun. Here's a taste of what MVRIA has been feeling and understanding these days, let your ears do what they do and slip into the weekend on the right foot <3 @mvria

Melina Serser at Cochilo - Waking Life '22

Four odd hours of magic from The Gun's longest running resident, chief musical tastemaker Nathan Gregory Wilkins. His second Saturday of the month sessions are beloved to so many of us that it is absolutely incredible that we haven't got one of his live sessions up here before.
If we're being entirely truthful, perhaps its because if you know about Nathan's session, then fair play to you, they are available live to his flock - here in the pub.
If you are a fan of Nathan and Ivan Smagghe's seminal Channelling show on NTS then you will have an idea of the flavour, but this and his monthly sets are something a little different, yet equally amazing.
Get stuck in, this one is fantastic.

Nathan Gregory Wilkins live at The Gun Nov 9th '24

https://soundcloud.com/ffan: I recently played at Club Daphnia in Osaka this past April, and it was such a fun experience. I shared the night with many underground DJs from across Japan, and it was one of those rare moments where I could fully express my own style while playing abroad. This mix is a re-recording based on the tracks I played that night, a slightly more underground version that showcases my trippy, genre-blending sound.

ffan is a South Korean music savvy, intricate, eclectic, and frantic. A maverick in sliding progressions through genres,  building soundscapes that magnetize people in forward movement to the dancefloor. 

Immersing in ffan´s sound is like a deep dive in a dark tropical forest – wild and unexpected.

Eccentric but secure, ffan is a true sound perfectionist, with a confident voice that glistens in every project he puts his hands on,  bringing him buoyancy in acclaim from all corners. Founder of the club Nyapi Seoul and Studio Namsan, ffan´s influence in Seoul is immediate and clearly felt, it is the new school of acid.

Chez has a style that is hard to put your finger on, as Rio 017 well demonstrates. Recorded on the opening night of Bonanza, Chez kicked the terrace into action with a chuggy but cheerful selection of swampy groovers. 

Moving seamlessly from heads down tech house to breaks and EBM-ish numbers, Rio 017 is peppered with flecks of acid, swaying basslines and plenty of character. 

One to keep the summer flowing xx

Cloud seeding
Weaponise the sky
All this water
Now it’s dry

Billions of litres
Your weight in salt
All this water 
Taken by default

Climate exchange 
Limit the sky
For every truth 
A hundred lies

Nestlé say
You will pay
We will take 
Your water away
