🌞💓 🌞 💓 Hello my dear friends 🌞 💓 🌞 💓

I am thrilled and honored to share a new guest mix for the Sunset Lovers show from the boss of one of my favorite labels Tici Taci, a veteran producer, DJ, and all-around lovely man from London UK, Duncan Gray.

With nearly three decades of production experience behind him, his first vinyl label was started in 1997 (Scatolological), he is best known these days for establishing the Tici Taci label with help from the late great Andrew Weatherall. Tici Taci has more than 100 releases and celebrated its 10th year as a label in 2023 with a lot of special releases.

This label consistently releases superb leftfield dance music- chuggy, slinky, dubby, wonky floor-filling dance music. Uz Pa Gaz's Tiranan Balearica Omo Can was featured here in April and various tici taci artists, including Duncan himself, Rude Audio and Dan Wainwright, Boy Division, The Long Champs, Jack Butters, Mystic Thug, Mr BC and Fjordfunk have graced these pages in the past.

Tici Taci - bringing you electric funk rekkids at tempos below 120 bpm. No pre-packed freeze-dried loops, all tracks have live instruments well to the fore, from funky wah-wah guitars and deep chunky bass to temperamental analog synthesizers and live percussion.

Over the years Duncan has released tracks that have proved widely popular with DJs ranging from The Guv himself through to mainstream crowdpleasers like Boy George. As one half of the seminal early 2000's electro band Sons of Slough Duncan played many live shows as well as DJing around Europe and the US, and released records on a wide variety of labels including Skint. In recent times he's played as far abroad as Australia and has remixed the likes of Primal Scream, David Holmes, Red Snapper, Yothu Yindi, and Andrew Weatherall. He also played guitar on several remixes by Andrew Weatherall and regularly contributes guitar and bass parts to a host of producers worldwide.

The past decade has seen Duncan champion a sludgy, slow-mo take on dance music that favors chugging bass guitars and psychedelic sound palettes over software VSTs and drag-and-drop samples.

In recent times he has partnered with Sean Johnston as "Hardway Brothers meet Monkton Uptown": a mostly dub-based remix project which has also led to the pair DJing together.

Last year (2023) Duncan and Ian Weatherall resurrected the Sons of Slough for the 10th Convenanza festival in Carcassonne in honor of Ian's late brother, and will be playing more Live shows in 2024.

The Sunset Lovers Show

The Sunset Lovers 66 with Duncan Gray

The Sunset Lovers #66 with Duncan Gray

Echoflex is a new studio and DJ collaboration between Al MacKenzie (Field of Dreams / D:Ream / Retroforward) and Duncan Gray (tici taci / Sons of Slough).

Having remixed each other over the last few years, they finally had the chance to play B2B as a warm up for ALFOS in Birmingham last year - and enjoyed it so much they decided it might be fun to do something on a regular basis.

They will be starting a regular slot at The Brunswick Cellars in Glasgow on Friday March 29th with a 3 deck back to back mix - playing deep house and pitched down techno soaked in glorious FX.

To celebrate this event Echoflex anybody attending the night will be given a free download code for the first Echoflex EP, ahead of its release in April 2024.

Al and Dunc have done a 2 hour mix together to give you an idea of what you might expect - expect the unexpected.

Paisley Dark Radio Show With John Paynter 16.03.24 Alto Radio

To me and many of my peers, "acid house" was not just about 303s and purple ohms, it was a feeling - a vibe that permeated through a mix of musical genres, house, techno, italo and cosmic disco, EBM, balearic, whatever.  I hope this collection of more modern tunes (plus a few contemporary classics) captures some of that vibe.

tracklist:
MpeG - Seaweed
Lunar Disco & Peter Conaty - Sex, Drugs, Money & Lies (Amine K Remix)
Paula Tape - Cuz Cuz
Munk - Rue De Rome (Copyshop Dance Version)
Visionnaire - Parigi Vienna
Berny, Franz Matthews - What's Behind (Instrumental)
Panthera - Vice (Damon Jee Remix)
Vhyce - L.O.W (Renato Cohen Remix)
Bedford Falls Players - Cosmosapien Revisited (Dirt Track Remix)
SNYL - I Feel You / YAME - As I Ran (revd live mashup)
Somerville & Wilson - Le Tropique (Stripped Mix)
Duncan Forbes - Bluer Than Blue (Massimiliano Pagliara Remix)
TJ Kong, Nuno Dos Santos – Tranentrekker
Azaria - Upside Down 
MpeG - Prospect Theory
