This episode I host Derry, Ireland based dj Alan Mooney. At just 21 it is often hard to feel a connection to the essence of a genre which was in its prime before he was even born, but one night at the disco with Get Down Edits and Late Nite Tuff Guy on the decks a spark was lit in Alan. Exquisite track selection, endless grooves, recognizable yet reworked classics and a feel good vibe being constants through his sets, productions and edits. Co-founding the Queen & Disco parties in Derry, Ireland back in 2013 before finally getting involved in the art of the re-edit. It was Queen & Disco that provided the platform for Alan, booking and playing along side some of his favorite producers. Today Alan and Queen & Disco is a sold force in the European dance music circles.
For DJ Bookings, contact:bookings@QueenAndDisco.com
You can find more about Alan’s Queen & Disco on the website, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Also, keep an eye out for Queen & Disco’s first vinyl release, Royalty of Funk Vol. 1 that will feature, along side the likes of LTJ and Get Down Edits, one of Allan’s own edits ‘Kofi‘. Look for it at your friendly neighborhood record shop in late February.

This week I have the absolute pleasure to host none other than Aaron Dae. Aaron embraces tracks steeped in the classic 90s house vein as well as grooves of the cosmic and disco sort. In whichever realm he works, the Brooklyn-bred artist intertwines a soulful commonality into his sound. Its good music understood on all levels. In addition Aaron is also one half of the men behind the edits label Razor–N-Tape, the other being cohort JKriv. Thus far, Razor-N-Tape has enjoyed breakout success with releases by Brooklyn’s Deep&Disco aka JKriv, Australia’s Late Nite Tuff Guy, New Zealand’s Hit It & Quit It right hand man Frank Booker, Parisisan edit-meister Dimitri From Brooklyn, Hamburg’s Lovebirds, and Japanese pianist/producer Kan Sano for an exclusive 7″ release on Record Store Day to name but a few. In short, Aaron is a musical force that you should listen to.
For booking information, contact: Tapey@Razor-N-Tape.com and to find more of Aaron, feel free to hit him up on SoundCloud, MixCloud, Resident Advisor, Twitter, SongKick and Facebook.
As always, it’s about the music.
