It's 2 years since K8-e & Jon BW's last joint appearance on Cheeky with the absolutely massive 'Fired Up', so we're glad to have them back with this tough house number. 'Smasha' has all the signature sounds their both known for - fun, catchy riffs and rap hooks underpinned by chunky beats and a thumping bassline, but this time they've slowed things right down, making this a perfect crossover track for both the warm up hard house DJs, and the tougher end of the UK house scene championed by the likes of Trick and Untidy.

Andy Farley Hard House Mix 

I've always loved and admired Andy Farley, as a DJ and producer. His mixes were like no one else's. Precision turntable mixing. I learnt on vinyl, so paying attention to guys like Andy made me want to mix like him. I would try and record a mix back in the day on cassette, playing vinyl, and would stop the recording if I did not get the two records near perfect, haha. I would aim for 45 minute mixes, to fit on one side of the cassette. Showing my age there. Precision and perfection. I once seen him live in Melbourne as well, and that left me legless to say the least! A legend and huge inspiration to me and what I do today. FREE WAV download! Hopefully get Volume 2 recorded soon.

CR054 - Jon BW & Asha - Better Not (Original Mix)

Brand new original from label owner Jack Butler, solo tracks are fast becoming the norm in Hard House, and we think this really showcases something of a change in direction, and something altogether new for Jack who has built a familiar sound over the years.

CR057 - Jack Butler - Pick You Up (Original Mix)

It's been a while since we've had Leeds hard house legend Jon BW on Cheeky Tracks so we're very happy to welcome him back to the label with this absolutely huge collaboration with Asha! They've produced a number of big hard house bangers together in recent years, and 'On You' is more of the classic Jon BW sound we know and love - quirky basslines and catchy chopped up vocals with a classic style hard house riff - but given a fresher, punchier edge for 2025. It's been heavily supported by DJ Brisk, Amber D, Panteros666, General Bounce and many more over the last 6 months and is already one of our biggest releases of the summer!

I'm still passionate about playing and making music, maybe even more so than I was at the start as it's been such a big part of my life for so many years. I am grateful to be able to have the opportunity to share the music I love at gigs and here with you online. 

I would love for you to check out some of my mixes to get a feel for what I play.  It's generally got a good groove and/or a catchy vocal and I can guarantee there will be a 'hoover' in every mix.  

Please comment and like and share if you enjoy my mixes!

The term Multi Genre Dj is something that really leaves a sour taste. It inadvertently  makes someone sound like a jack of all trades, master of fuck all! 


The key is not to be able to play the whole spectrum of dance music adequately. That is what a playlist on Apple music is for.  It is to be able to replicate that ideology within a set without comprising the quality or integrity of the flow or progression of the night, but to do so in a way people raise an eyebrow and remember it! Why pigeon hole music to a particular sub genre! As someone who is a big influence of mine once said (not Johny Favourite) 'its all House and Techno anyway'!


Jimmy Gooders is one such Dj who tries to break the mould from this god awful turn of phrase. Give him a set time, whether its early doors or into the late hours, he will deliver. Long term residencies at respectable brands Juicy and Blessed highlight this notion. 


Underrated, perhaps an unsung hero, Jimmy specialises and excels in the dying art of warm up, and has been said on many an occasion that most dont come close. Breaking away from the standard issue of playing an hour of Untidy Dubs, and any old shit that happens to be under 140bpm on Toolbox Digital, Jimmy thrives on that crate digging vibe, playing hidden gems and curveballs that keep sets engaging. Track selections ranging from House, Disco, Tech House, Techno and even the occasional Hard Dance track are thrown into the pot. Not to pander to this cliched  and ridiculous multi genre tag, but great music is great music irrespective of what fancy sub label we wanna categorise it as right!?  


Over the years, Jimmy has managed to accumulate an array of respectable Dj accomplishments. Having Played for the likes of Tidy, Goodgreef Xtra Hard, Storm, Xstatic, Stay Up Forever,  Tasty vs Encoded and many more.

Attaining long term residencies  as already mentioned  with Juicy and Blessed, and having tracks released on labels including World Sound, Boxt and Cheeky Tracks to name a few.



More recently, Jimmy has forged a partnership with long term b2b partner Johny Favourite , going under the very original name of Johny & Jimmy; which you will see more of in the coming months. Created off the back of having similar ideas and tastes in music.  Its early days but with already having won the 9 bar remix competition and bookings from The Bounce Factory and Shed Sessions already in place, things are looking bright for this newly formed duo!
