The Disco Express: Guest Mix Series

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."

Florence’s disco maverick Dukwa pulls into the glitter-streaked fast lane with a double dose of fierce funk and futuristic flair.

'Nobody Else' is heartbreak on the dancefloor - a soaring vocal hook, luscious pads, and deep-disco groove collide in a moment of pure emotional glamour.
'F### U, I Am Kind!' is mirrorball mischief: crunchy drums, cosmic stabs, and a message for the haters served with a wink and a hip thrust.

High drama, high fashion, and high-grade club heat. Dukwa’s here for the lovers, the loners, and the late-night dreamers. Nobody else will do.

PREMIERE: N-Zino - Sacred and Profane (Fred P Reshape)

Free House Music is back with Are We Rising the incredible new collaboration between UK producer/DJ Andy Reece and Irish singer-songwriter Rachel Barror. Born after Tom Caruso heard Andy’s demo on Dj & Producer Dilby’s YouTube live feedback session. With a brief to channel the energy of Moloko, Rachel jumped on board and delivered a soulful, hypnotic vocal that bought the song to life.

The track blends Andy’s classic house, US garage, and disco roots with Rachel’s soaring topline—creating a new-disco track full of groove, soul, and undeniable energy. Lyrically, Are We Rising captures the tension between falling apart and rising above, echoing themes of resilience, unity, and emotional release.

Soulful new-disco that fuses classic house grooves with an irresistible vocal hook—Are We Rising is made for the dance floor and the sunrise.”
