A deeply personal album of protest, love and self-acceptance — created with AI, powered by vulnerability, and released in support of dementia research.

London, UK – August 2025 — After decades behind the decks, DJ-turned-artist F Monday steps into the spotlight with his debut album The Gift, out 10th October 2025. Blending protest pop, soul, and singer-songwriter sensibilities with hints of Latin and bossa nova, the record is both deeply personal and boldly experimental.

The lead single, Maybe I’m Gay, will be released on 29th August 2025 across all streaming and download platforms.

“It captures my experience as a cis gay man — feeling different, othered, and at times excluded, even within the LGBTQIA+ community. Over time, I found self-acceptance by recognising that many of those feelings are universal — and that being queer is universal too,” says F Monday.

The Gift journeys through protest, grief, joy, and self-acceptance. From the bold defiance of Maybe I’m Gay, to the intimate title track The Gift, the playful EDM-lite Not Just Friends, and the revelatory Hello God :-), the album explores what it means to live openly, vulnerably, and authentically.

Created in collaboration with AI tools, The Gift is both an act of self-discovery and a creative experiment — a reminder that music can be a mirror, reflecting who we are and what we hope to become.

Importantly, all proceeds from the album will go to Alzheimer’s Research UK.  Dementia is the UK’s leading cause of death, with 982,000 people currently affected — a number expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. Globally, the World Health Organisation estimates 57 million people live with dementia, with nearly 10 million new cases every year.

The Gift — released 10th October 2025. Every play, every download, every share helps bring us closer to a cure for dementia. Please join in.

I've been a DJ in various forms including radio since I was a teenager, and I always used to say it was the best job in the world, getting to listen to all kinds of music. I think I've also been a frustrated musical artist of some kind: I wanted to engineer and produce and have trained on various DAWs. My musicianship has been limited though - I can't really sing and I'm a rudimentary keyboard player - but I can write and originally trained as a journalist after leaving school.  So I've been putting whatever writing skills I may possess to the test by writing lyrics and using them as prompts for AI music with some fascinating results. In fact I've spent the past month or so working on songs. At the time of writing I have an album of material completed, with the first track - a single - scheduled for release on 29th August on all the major platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. It will be automatically added to your Spotify new releases if you click here. Another single is scheduled to come out about a month later with the album pencilled for release on Friday 10th October. One of the surprises for me was the style of music I've ended up creating - not my usual dance music at all. The album does contain tracks that will get you moving or set your toes tapping, but there's an equal number of singer/songwriter tracks that I hope are more contemplative. The whole song writing process was incredibly cathartic, in fact I'd go so far as to say, it was like therapy.  It's a scary thing sharing in song all your previously private thoughts and experiences, so please don't be too harsh on me. And as importantly, why not have a go yourself.  I hope you enjoy it. Thank you. XX F*

June is definitely busting out all over here in London, with long and warm sunny days taking us and our music to parks, bars, restaurants and festivals. And I've carried that mood with me in what feels like a classic disco warm-up set for a big night out of tasty tunes. Starting with some mid-tempo soulful disco from Gwen Dickey and Michael Gray ("If I'm gonna be with you"), Paul Older's deliciously camp Italiano "Che disco vuoi" (What record do you want?). Don't miss Walterino's brand new funky and addictive "Kiss & fly", and the nudisco buzz of Zerb and Kiki Gyan's "24h in a disco". Finally I pass on the metaphorical DJ baton with the driving peak-time dancefloor disco hottie "Deep in my soul" by Alexa Perl. All of course, mixed with love here in London. See you soon. XX F*

Happy New Year and thanks for downloading my favourite selections from The Disco Podcast's 2024 sets. And there was something powerful about February's mix, because that was by far your most popular download of the year.  Quite a few tracks from that set have made it onto this Best Of, including Anane, Dave Leatherman, Paolo Bardelli, Saturday Love, Hold Tight and Ken@Work. 2024 definitely had more of a soulful disco vibe and that's reflected by edits and remakes of the inimitable Lou Rawls and Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, plus my personal favourite track of the year from Tamiko Jones - "Let it flow". And as my parting 2024 gift to you, I've snuck in a brand new exclusive track: my bootleg of Jessie Ware's "Free yourself". Enjoy!
