The Disco Express: Guest Mix Series

This week's Guest Mix comes from Beavs.

Beavs is an exciting upcoming Bristol-based selector renowned for her deep soulful collection. She brings a unique heat to the dancefloor and plays with an infectious energy and spirit, seamlessly serving up smooth grooves that blend boogie, soul, funk, house, gospel, disco, reggae, highlife, afrobeat, MPB, jazz - and everything in between - from across the globe. A core member of Bristol's Void radio team, she's been making her mark on community radio stations from UK's Loose FM, Balamii, Noods, Vandelay and Australia's 94.1fm, as well as holding down gigs with Funkelectric, Bath Carnival's Bacana Funk, Guava Jamz, Through The Noise and Westival, plus iconic venues like The Marble Factory, Lakota, Lost Horizon and London's Cafe 1001. 

About this mix:

"A mix blending some of my favourite underground disco, funk and house tracks from across the decades. New and old, it's all about the groove."

This week's Guest Mix comes from Ethical Drift.

Ethical Drift is the persona of enigmatic producer, songwriter & DJ Jonathan Paul. Focused on high energy, bass-forward House music in the studio and club, he wields psychedelic sounds and jazz dissonance with punk rock abandon. 2024's "Nightlife in NYC" EP was well received by the local underground, and supported by countless DJ sets across the city and beyond into New England. 

About this mix:

"Recorded live on the snowy deck at Bousquet Mountain in Pittsfield, Massachusetts 2/15/2025. Plenty of Disco Express gems surrounded by House classics, eclectic remixes and bassline focused tracks."
