Maestros Ryan & Mike have devised this ace duo known as ‘Cat Town’ who  showcase some of the illest music that has been brought to our ears.(courtesy of their YouTube channel) Surrounded by all the rich musical history and talent Detroit has to offer, it's what makes this mix all the more special.

The pair's doing splendid things for their local music scene. Respectively, operating a record label, to co-productions, to occasional parties in Detroit feat. the likes of Who Dat, Modern Art, Mark Grusane, and Dez Andres (all project links underneath) 

Definitely look into Mike’s Sector 7G record label, and Ryan’s ‘Symptoms of Love’ project co produced with Ben.C. 

The selection in question though, resonates with us wholly, and will be cherished for a while to come. We hope this mix can help recalibrate your mind/body/soul ;-)

Hit play for Cat Towns exclusive 4hr SPACEDUST mix. Yeowwwww!

Finishing the work week with a selection of 80/90’s smooth sailing joints, courtesy of parisian stalwarts, Minh-duc & Victor (CLUB ROQUETTE, PARIS).

The Club Roquette crew have done a remarkable job of nimbly interweaving their way through this fun playground of global pop sounds. 

Drawing on female artists like russian queen of pop, Alla Pugacheva, Janett Kenton, Pauline Lan, and Diane Tell, the mix is invigorating, fuelled by an adolescent anything-goes spirit and an idyllic, beach day party vibe. Full on sunshine music !

For them, it's all about sharing the parisian dance-floors, and airwaves with you fine folks. If you’re ever in Paris be sure to check these two.

Let’s take a ride over to Montreal to hear it out on the wheelz of steel from selector & promotor, MOKA.

A second city to New York, theres no denying Montreal was at the forefront of the disco capital in the 70’s. This status signalled a multitude of scenes that were to come, 80’s HI-NRG, ala the darker shades of 90’s Dutch & British techno rave parties happening out of sight, in lofts or repurposed and unspectacular back rooms.

You could say COSMIC CAFE are ambassadors to Montreal's underground music scene, who have always wanted to bring a different listening and dancing experience to intimate audiences. Since 2005, Peruvian born MOKA and friends have had the wonderful opportunity to showcase exceptional djs and producers like Joe Claussel, Francois K, Seychelle, Scott Grooves, Invisible City, Jamal Moss, Dope Jams, you know, the ones that have given us some kind of spiritual awakening, or seen us through those life changing events.  

Mix 25 strikes a chord with us here at HQ as it’s reminiscent to our days spent partying up in Montreal on a bender. Moka has managed to create a vibe and atmosphere what reflects a time spent at a Cosmic Cafe party. Not so easy to express in words so hit play and feel it for yaself! Optimum jacking included.

Programmed and mixed by MOKA

Rare Groove Records (Japan) is a prized and treasured record store situated amongst a mind blowing number of fellow music stores, would you know it, classed into one of the highest record store densities on the globe. In an already declining traditional commerce where brick & mortar stores face sky high rent hikes, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to simply make a living as a music retailer, however, this particular store has withstood the test of time. With some perseverance, a vigorous dedication to hospitality, and intriguing selections, Rare Groove has become part of the record pilgrimage route for vinyl lovers visiting Japan.

Owner and operator of Rare Groove, Norio Sato, has graciously presented us with the next instalment of the series. Having a wealth of knowledge in musical genres from ambient, jazz, city pop, to disco ((Check his recent compilation 4 Music from Memory’s release 'Heisei No Oto')), theres no denying this man has the ability to transcend the listener into higher realms. Who knew Dusty Springfields (Marshall Jefferson) remix could  fuse itself so beautifully onto Morgan Fisher’s ambient masterpiece “Ice Melting”. What a tease! The rest of the mix defines itself beyond limits and boundaries.  

Arigato, Norio san :-)   

Osaka may not be down the road for a quick dig so they welcome you to visit Rare Groove Recs online which is updated daily, and always open for business. See link below.

DJ Okouru (https://soundcloud.com/okouru) throws us a deep, heavy hitting mixtape keeping up with our mix series for 2022. One would describe him as a multi-faceted artist:- DJ, Photographer, Stylist, Creative Director and 1/3 mastermind behind the newly promising CLUB SODA party in Copenhagen. 

It was his six part 'cassette series' that initially caught our ears (links below). For @spacedust-4 however, Okouru steers us into this mad bumping low tempo territory featuring a fanciful record selection and juxtaposition of styles highlighting 80’s/90’s U.K street soul, Chanson Francaise, Brazilian Hip Hop, French Boogie, Thai Synth Pop, Roots Reggae, with surprise Banghra drops. 

He certainly teases the illusion of kicking back on a gorgeous tropical beach without a care in the world. Just what we need rn.

Happy listening!

PART 1

TONY PABLO LIVE AT DREAMSCAPE '93

Bass-in-ya-face, clubby groovers from Kobe’s Troop Music Works event/label co-founder.

Feel the magic as Masafumi Onishi AKA Telly digs deep into his vinyl collection to provide us with this upbeat mix of fantasy acid-soaked House/Italo Jammers. A nod to Chicago & Detroit.

Telly devoted 10 years of his time as a manager/main event booking coordinator at Kobe’s TroopCafe/club. You could say he’s regarded as a recognised contributor to the Japanese music scene for his role in ushering prominent local and international acts, and putting Kobe on the music map.

The music will never stop there as he’s recently been experimenting with studio recordings on his Troop Music label, conjuring up some phat rolling beats that once again, draw inspiration from the US. Imagine MPC-style drum programming combined with snappy disco riffs & vocals

Recently, Detroit's Motor City Wine Label released a 4-track dizzying sample-based beatdown under the DCTL duo moniker of Telly and DJ Duct. Be sure to check these ones!

Let’s Drop in, tune out to this rugged set by the inimitable Telly Onishi.

Programmed and mixed by Masafumi‘Telly’Onishi.
Thank you to @Munir for the groovy art.

This track captivated listeners, landing on countless dance floors and finding its way into endless DJ mixes. It was also recently featured on the esteemed Mr Bongo Record Club Vol. 5 Compilation. 

He’s got edits due on Mystical Circles and G&D, a remix out for I Travel To You Records and a new self-released 45 in the works 🎶

You can follow the link below to check out his BANDCAMP store, plus up-coming UK parties.

Hey everyone ! 

Meet Mr Disco Kid, a private record dealer hailing from Tokyo, known for spinning only original vinyl. Starting in his mid-teens, Disco Kid built an eclectic collection of disco, soul, jazz funk, Afro, Brazilian, Latin, house, and techno records. His deep dive into the world of music naturally led him to become a record dealer, earning the trust of top-tier collectors and DJs around the globe with his knack for unearthing high-quality, rare gems.

As a DJ, he made waves as the first Japanese artist to guest at the legendary Soul Weekender in Stockholm, Sweden. This event, featuring a stellar lineup of musicians from the UK and across Europe, solidified his reputation on the international stage.

DJ Disco Kid’s sets are the stuff of legend, often stretching up to seven hours. He approaches each record with a sense of urgency and joy, making every moment feel like a grand finale. His relentless quest for new sounds and fresh interpretations from vintage records promises a unique, immersive experience every time.

This 90-minute vinyl mix is a perfect example of his craft—a seamlessly blended collection of summer jams that captures DJ Disco Kid’s dynamic style.

MR. DISCO KID (Tokyo, Japan) MIX032

Happy New Year, all!

We’re kicking off SPCEDUST Selections 2025 with Mix #33 from Ireland’s very own Ricky Chong, a selector who’s as sharp as his records are deep. Hailing from Sligo—a town that’s as rich in culture as it is ruggedly beautiful—Ricky grew up knee-deep in his dad’s funk, jazz, and soul crates. That early influence lit a spark that turned into a vinyl obsession, shaping his sound into something truly special.

Ricky’s not here to tick genre boxes—he’s here for the ride!. Whether it’s rare disco burners, African boogie treasures, or the pulse of 90s house, his sets are all about blending the unexpected with the familiar, creating a connection that keeps the dance-floor moving & grooving.

After cutting his teeth with Sligo’s Faint crew, Ricky’s quickly become a name to watch. His encyclopedic knowledge of 20th-century music, combined with his fearless approach to mixing, has earned him gigs alongside the likes of Jeremy Underground. Next up, you’ll find him in Dublin on Feb 1st at the Disco All Dayer, sharing the stage with heavyweights like Joe Claussell and the Idjut Boys. Oh, and don’t sleep on his monthly residency at The Big Romance—a spot where Ricky’s vibe really comes to life.

About the Mix....

Ricky’s SPCEDUST mix is nothing short of awesome. At 2 hours and a bit, it’s a bold, dynamic trip through his record bag, a masterclass in flow and selection. Using his trusty E&S mixer, Ricky doesn’t just mix tracks, he shapes them, tweaking frequencies to squeeze out every ounce of energy and emotion.

This mix doesn’t settle for predictable. It shifts, surprises, and keeps you hooked from start to finish. 

A blazing start to the SPCEDUST year, this is Ricky at his finest. Play it at high levels.

Big thank you to Ricky, and all you lovely listeners.

RICKY CHONG (Ireland) MIX033

Next up on SPACEDUST selections, we’ve got Andrea PassEnger, a reel deal selector, producer, and curator straight outta Turin, Italy. One of the country’s best kept secrets, Andrea’s been digging deep for years, pushing soul-drenched grooves with an uncommon sensitivity.

With releases on Just What The World Needs, Tabernacle, AI Records, he’s built a solid rep among DJs who really know their stuff. But it’s his vinyl-only imprint, Light Touches Records, that’s been turning heads—flipping forgotten gems and dusty disco cuts into dancefloor weapons. Now ten releases deep, and trust, he’s got more heat stashed away.

Andrea’s sound has taken him far and wide—from Corsica Studios in London to Bonobo in Tokyo, Backwards in Ireland, and beyond. He’s rocked alongside Theo Parrish, Gilles Peterson, and Nicky Siano, while holding it down as a resident at Jazz:Re:Found Festival and running his own club nights, Aquario and Better Days—spaces where community meets club culture.

For SPACEDUST MIX034, Andrea keeps it raw and rugged—a vinyl-only selection laced with deep Afro cuts, gospel soul, and grooves built for serious movers. He’s dropped six unreleased edits, plus two heavy hitters from Light Touches #10, making this one for the heads who like their selections timeless and uncut.

We first connected with Andrea over a decade ago, back when we were working on those Mark Grusane edits, and we’ve been tracking his journey ever since. Now, it’s about time we officially welcome him to the SPACEDUST family.

Press play and let it ride.

SD CREW X
JAN19
.....................

“In a country with a musical traditional rooted in percussive instruments, the groovy boogie of disco struck a major chord with Indonesians from all walks of life. This fresh genre’s popularity soared even higher with the emergence of roller discos and bowling alleys as social hubs for the youth, as the nightclubs of the day were widely considered to be heroin dens; unwelcome places for the dance-happy youth to congregate. But alas, as the decades passed, so did the country’s infatuation with disco. The genre that had been so crucial to the emergence of a youthful subculture in modern Indonesia had been almost completely forgotten, lost to thrift shops or discount sections of records stores. Which exactly where Munir first discovered it.

Munir Septandry first found his obsession of record collecting in his early twenties. By 2011, Munir and some friends began taking these records and remastering them into DJ-friendly edits, and the imprint Midnight Runners was born.

Munir believes that the essence of disco is its ability to make people dance while de-stressing the mind. Once he selects a track, he loads it into his DAW where the mastering process begins. He then adjusts the levels so that they are compatible with modern sound systems, extra drums are added, and certain parts are extended. The result is furiously funky tropical disco that will wreck any dance floor.

In a move to republish these forgotten gems, Midnight Runners began compiling these edits into albums, and the Nusantara Tropic Disco project was born. Nusantara translates to ‘archipelago,’ which is fitting as Munir strives to find the best disco tracks from across the world’s largest archipelago nation, transforming what started as a pet project into a digital archive of Indonesia’s once vibrant disco scene.

The Nusantara Tropic Disco volumes have gained worldwide recognition through the Amsterdam record label JIWAJIWA (jiwa being the word for ‘soul’ in Indonesian), who’ve pushed the compilation albums in Holland, while Indonesian imprints like Diskoria, Selekta Pop, Funkbox and Jammalam have supported the Midnight Runners’ work locally"

CAM HILDEBRANDT (Canada) 2U4U MIX018

SD loverz,

We bring forth the herculean ‘oD0422 Tribute to Ed’ mixed and selected by Trenton Odeneal (Chicago, Soul In The Hole)

SPACEDUST selection #19 is a playground of sounds featuring new wave, electronic, disco, synth-pop and everything in between. Trenton manoeuvres his way through 80 minutes of juggles and cuts, utilizing record doubles and energetic EQ tweaks to add spice to a boldly flavoured stew of hearty aural goodness inspired by the selections of legendary Chicago radio mavericks like “WBMX Hotmix 5”

But... who is he?

Trenton Odeneal is 1/5 of ‘Soul in The Hole Productions’ – the 80’s DJ crew originating from Chicago. Other members of SITH’s five-strong team include Sadar Bahar, Richard Waddington, Lee Collins, and Steve Mathis.

Back in the 70’s, Trenton’s musical journey began with his father's 45 record collection, and evolved into a love for the sounds of the Chicago dance scene. Trenton’s enthusiasm grew with regular visits to the esteemed ‘Music Box’ Club to get his fix from the likes of Ron Hardy. After years of collecting tapes and listening to WBMX radio, he was introduced to a certain Sadar Bahar through his cousin who at the time was already spinning multiple parties. The two hit it off immediately. Trenton quotes “He’s my cousins’ homie and a cool bro. He could beat the shit outta some music...he would dub his mixtapes for me, all of them banging” 

Years passed.

Moving forward to Trenton’s return from RAF service in 1993, the time had come for his first public DJ appearance. The SITH crew asked him to fill a slot and relieve Lee Collins of his DJ duties at a house party. Trenton recalls Lee’s last record with a smile. Patti LaBelle – The Spirit In it. He knew he had to relay the set with something of equal calibre to keep the momentum on the up. With heads going wild on the DF, Trenton dropped King Crimson – Sheltering Sky. Safe to say he delivered and things naturally progressed. 

Trenton is a ridiculously good DJ who we feel deserves to be heard. Also, If you dig the 3 Chairs collective, You will love Soul In The Hole Family Output

TRENTON ODENEAL (Soul In The Hole, Chicago) oD0422 TRIBUTE TO ED MIX019

Hey ya'll!

Sam Don helps us clock in SPACEDUST SELECTION #020

As one of London’s eclectic talents, you are as likely to see him playing for one of the city's mainstays like Secretsundaze, as you are playing deep techno at a Hackney Wick afterhours, while also keeping things lighter and brighter at his Brilliant Corners residency.  

Running the party and radio station of the same name, Free Association, Sam also recently curated and licensed the 'For The Love of You' compilation on Athens of the North.  

Never one to be pigeonholed, SDS#20 showcases new digs, old favourites and some productions from friends around the world.

Hit that play button as she weld’s together a sizzling full vinyl selection of oddball syth-pop, electronic, disco, Electro, before maneuvering into the Jackin’ zone. 

A real flair behind the 1’s & 2’s :-)
