I discovered Frankie Knuckles through his music, one that was, gentle, lush with a subdued, understated power that rocked many a dancefloor.
I had the privilege to hear him once in the heyday of his legendary residency at Sound Factory Bar in New York. I was submerged, sonically and emotionally by the beauty of the music I heard that night. I remember very clearly saying to myself that this would be impossible to ever equal.
That was 20 years ago, and I never got to hear this magic combination again.

I got to meet Frankie a few times, and he was always like his music, gentle, humble,   yet naturally imposing

I've put together here some of my favorite music from him. So that his legacy can keep on inspiring other people.

Rest in peace, Frankie, may your music keep on moving people eternally

Track List:
1 I’m Doing Just Fine 
2 Keep Running
3 Can’t Go Nowhere 
4 Hometime

J. Peacock is back for the Dirt Crew Summer take over once more! After his last collab release with Laurence Guy on “Shall Not Fade” in March this year we are delighted to welcome him again with four new deep and funky tunes.

“I’m Doing Just Fine”  is all about the strings. There's a certain feeling in northern soul records – cinematic, bittersweet – and sampling that energy became the starting point for the whole EP. On this track, the vocal hides just behind the strings, giving it a hazy feel. A loopy, dreamlike cut nods to the 2016 lo-fi house era. “Keep Running ” has a swelling, string-led groove built around a hypnotic soul sample. “Deep Burnt” is one of J. Peacock’s all-time favourite tracks and a big influence here. Urgent and euphoric, a driving rhythm with strings to carry the emotional weight.

“Can’t Go Nowhere” is a slower, more restrained moment on the EP. Inspired by the likes of Cottam, Mark E, and Tiger & Woods, this is a chugging, early-hours builder made for warm-up sets and low ceilings. A nod to the art of holding back just enough to keep people moving. “Hometime” brings together two of his favourite things: dusty soul samples and the raw grit of the MS-20. The analogue synth gives the track it’s edge, the bassline is constantly shifting and alive while the smoothness of the sample keeps everything in check.

Hailing from Jordan but now based in Spain, Fairplay is an alternative electronic duo characterized by an eclectic and deep approach. With this release on Zatar Music, Faisal and Fuad effortlessly merge sounds and styles, bringing together traditional North African / Middle Eastern influences with trippy, hypnotic grooves.

Teaming up with Houston, TX-based DJ and producer Omar Beik, their new track “Dinyeh” combines drones with lush string flourishes, hand drums, and a driving, techy groove.

The remix by David Mayer and Nico Stojan brings us even deeper into the extended, hallucinatory zone, building a deeply layered and atmospheric vibe perfectly complementary to the original.

“'Dinyeh' means 'the world' in Arabic, and that’s exactly what this track holds inside it," say Fairplay. “Blending warm Arabic textures with deep, driving rhythms, it moves between nostalgia and momentum.
The break is where everything comes into focus – emotional and cinematic, like a memory just out of reach. Dinyeh is a song about longing, movement, and the spaces in between; one foot on the dance floor, one in a dream.”

About the remix, David Mayer says: “My fellowship with Nico started long ago. We met in 2015 in New Zealand, where he offered me to remix ‘The Blue Hour’ feat. JAW for his album, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. After the Fling EP and several other originals in the pipeline, the Fairplay remix is our first remix together. We created the sketch in a bubbly one-nighter and had loads of fun.”

To play the closing before the daytime break at Turmbühne on Saturday morning was such a bliss and all my nervosity was blown away from the excitement to play one of my fav stages at Fusion Festival. Especially after 15 years of visiting, dancing, taking days of for my ravecation, strolling around, getting lost, meeting new people, reuniting with friends from all over the world, discovering new artists I'm so honored to have finally played the mother of all stages there. Probably the best dancefloor on the planet.

Artist: Loz Goddard
Title: Prism Riot EP
Label: Physical Education
Cat No: PE023
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Slug Dance
A2. Prism Riot
B1. Snadestation
B2. Minimizer Ray

Loz Goddard steps into new sonic territory on his Physical Education debut—delivering four machine-driven cuts rooted in analog hardware sounds, with high-energy rhythms and dancefloor intent. Leaving behind the sample-heavy textures and live instrumentation of previous releases, this EP leans more into synthesizers and drum machines, channelling the pulse of classic club gear with plenty of added bounce. Subtle nods to the sounds and moods of 90s and early 2000s video games add a nostalgic digital sheen—balancing playfulness, drive and warmth in equal measure.

Four forward-thinking jams from a seasoned producer.

Limited vinyl pressing coming soon on Baldo’s Physical Education label.
