Named a ‘stellar edits provider’ by Mixmag and the ‘nu-disco don’ by Juno, Andy Buchan​ has become one of the most consistent names in the disco and edit scene for the past few years with chart-topping releases on dozens of disco-fried labels including Peppermint Jam, Hot Digits, Midnight Riot, Paper Disco and on his own Hot Gorilla Records imprint.    

Hot Gorilla Records launched with a bang including several Juno Download No.1s, multiple Traxsource Top 10s and four tracks in the Best of 2021 Beatport chart. Plus they’ve had repeat plays from BBC 6 Music and support from Greg Wilson, Horse Meat Disco and Craig Charles. Hot Gorilla Records also supported The Brand New Heavies on their 2021 sell-out tour across the UK. 
Andy’s own music has been picked up for reviews in DJ Mag and Mixmag, plus radio support from 6Music and Rinse FM and club and festival plays from big-name DJs including Bicep, Claptone, Horse Meat Disco, Greg Wilson, Peggy Gou, Justin Robertson, Electric Chair and more. And he was also asked to enter his music collection into the British National Library Sound Archive.     
He’s currently the resident DJ at Flight Club and Chow Down in Leeds and a regular guest DJ at leading Edinburgh venue The Street. Alongside that, Andy has played across the UK in recent years, warming up for Huey 6 Music, Dr Packer, Groove Armada, Psychemagik, Hot Chip and more. 

This is just the latest chapter in Andy’s career. After freelancing for Mixmag and training as a journalist, he moved to Dubai in 2004, working for Time Out Dubai before launching DJ Mag Middle East. He was a regular on the club and festival scene, first with his own long-running, award-winning nights and with long-term residencies at Pacha and Trilogy. He was also booked for Creamfields UAE twice and cemented his open-genre, curveball DJ style by playing alongside a wide variety of DJs including Fatboy Slim, Mark Ronson, Basement Jaxx, Todd Terje, Norman Jay, Liam Gallagher, Feel My Bicep, Graeme Park and more. 

Now back in the UK, he’s become a mainstay of the disco scene while his label Hot Gorilla Records continues to grow into one of the most exciting labels in the scene including 2022 festival slots at Beatherder and Standon Calling.

PURPLE SNEAKERS | TRUSTED FOR TASTE

Purple Sneakers is one of Australia's most prominent niche music blogs. Our mission is to solely feature 'emerging club music' from around the world that we are passionate about.

We at Purple Sneakers were invited alongside other iconic Sydney electronic music crews (Future Classic, Motorik and Astral People) to present a weekly show on FBi Radio‘s digital radio channel called ‘Click’ that specialises in electronic music. FBi Click has been described as FBi Radio Sydney’s “most ambitious initiative in its 10 year history.” After two years, Click was merged into the regular radio channel live to air mid 2017, and Purple Sneakers was asked to go along with them – so of course we said yes. 

Hosted by Purple Sneakers DJ Caitlin Medcalf, each week she brings you the best new tunes from the blogosphere and beyond, direct to your radio. Hear Purple Sneakers on FBi Radio every Saturday from 5-6PM AEDT on 94.5FM or DAB+ if you’re a Sydney local, or stream online via fbiradio.com.
