There's nothing like being sent into a trance during a DJ set. Head down, eyes closed, no signs of making any bee line for the toilet or the bar, and suddenly hours have passed... That's the effect Stevie Cox has when she's playing.

Originally hailing from Manchester, Stevie has now found herself settled in Glasgow where she's been making a real impact over the last few years. A regular at Sub Club, one of the UK's most heralded clubs, you'll find her propping up the booth alongside fellow residents Harri & Dom and Telford. Last month she was made an official resident and a permanent fixture at the club's Saturday night party Subculture, and for good reason, Stevie's ability to have the crowd hanging on her every move is second to none.

Moving into production was the natural next step for Stevie. Her first official outing sees her team up with London-based producer Fossil Archive, alongside Kiara Scuro's ZaaZaa, for a four-track EP on Hammer's Remmah imprint, plus we hear there's plenty more collabs and her first solo release on the horizon too... 

As you may have gathered, when it comes to hypnotising listeners this isn't Stevie's first rodeo. Over an effortlessly fluid hour of acid, house, techno and garage she shows us exactly why she's a regular fixture at the revered Glasgow institution...

Stevie Cox: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Dario’s sound is a fusion of leftfield disco, cosmic jazz, post-punk dub, Balearic electronica, and experimental grooves, among others. It is music for deep listeners – those who appreciate subtle storytelling, genre-crossing selections, and an unforced, organic flow. Whether for a laid-back sunset session or a trippy late-night set, Dario likes to craft a journey through time and space, naturally shifting between nostalgia and the unknown.
