Karl O'Connor is most certainly Regis, and it is also highly probable that he propagates other pseudonyms. Unconventional and single-minded to say the least (what label can boast a back catalogue free of the industry-standard cash cow remix) by decentralising the focus on the dj/producer personality, he remains one of the more highly regarded creative forces within the British techno/electronic scene. In this rare podcast, the UK producer presents a tribute mix featuring tracks and producers from the seminal Birmingham label, Network.

In 2016, DJ BORING, sent shockwaves through the underground when his track ‘Winona’ appeared on the iconic Slav Youtube channel. The track, comprised of simple, melodramatic chords, a syncopated 909 groove, and a sampled Winona Ryder interview, not only changed the landscape of house music but seemed to define dance music for a new generation. Since then, DJ BORING’s relocation from Melbourne to London has earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting artists of this generation. DJ BORING’s abilities as an artist are beyond simply being able to write clever melodies and stomping rhythms: his unique talent lies in knowing when to pull back on a dancefloor or when to go all-in.

Whiskey Houston is a dance floor authority. Her distinctive sound is born from a long­standing love of disco in all its incarnations; marked by her extensive knowledge and respect for its history and cultural roots. Disco, as Houston sees it, is a genre with many faces, in constant dialogue with its new beat, wave, techno and house derivatives. With this in mind, she plays wildly energetic sets that flow seamlessly from light to dark. From churning, synth-laden Italo to euphoric big room ballads, it is Houston’s versatility that truly marks her one of Melbourne’s most invigorating DJs.
