Tonight I have the absolute pleasure of welcoming Hush aka Alan Miller into Sub Club’s booth. If you add up the years the RPZ/Death Disco/Maxi Dance Pool maestro and I have been DJing, it’s as many as I have breathed! Every time we’ve played together however there’s been a synergy beyond either’s expectations (i hope i’m fair in saying!) and this party should be no different. I asked Hush if he’d be up for sharing a selection of tracks in any direction and he’s come up with some belters – listening in they’ve got me right up for tonight. Cosmic to euphoric tunes, right up the subbie.

Jamie Principle – Rebels
You don’t always have to go back to the source, but if you wanna get seminal, Jamie Principle is a pretty solid place to start. Rebels is a jerky, metronomic manifesto for outsiders, a righteous prayer of 303 freestylin’ for those who know “the sacred life”, who follow the calling. Knowledge and redemption through the body, through dedication to the dance. Now THATS a message.
Up Yours – London
My mate HIFI SEAN, who co-founded the thurs night up the Arty with me all them years ago, made this virtolic beast of a track with Horsemeat’s Severino and raggamuffin legend FERALisKINKY. “London” is a raw and irresistible hybrid of grime and house, bursting with attitude from Feral’s uniquely delinquent ragga/reggae. VIBE TON UP.
Dave Angel – Rotation
Dave Angel’s magnificent “rotation” has many of my favourite musical references points rolled into one track:- celestial jazz synths, rapid fire tom and snares, laid over with the most melodic synthetic chords straddled across the staccato rhythms. Beautiful and inspiring. Except i pitch it right down to minus 6 for a mid-set workout. It last longer that way, and thats GOTTA BE GOOD.
D.C. La Rue – Let Them Dance (PH Edit)
Who doesn’t love a good edit? Even thought there are a multitude of BAD ones. This is a real cocker though, re-imagined by disco maestro Pete Herbert, his ear fixed firmly on the pulsing bridge section from DC La Rue’s “let them dance”. This baby will push us FORWARD.
College – Départ
French artist College has a raft of a-grade house artists at home to inspire his productions, and this arpeggiated wonder more than lives up to high bar set by his peers. A wonderfully metallic drone shoots through this post-italo disco gem. “Départ” is a super collapsing star of a track, a strobing pulsar, deeply and darkly galactic, bound directly for dry-ice obscured late night moments.
