Fort Romeau ¦ Somewhere in Berlin Mix

Podcast 010 - Fingerman

To bring our series into double digits we have a man who’s tracks have been a mainstay in Q&D sets from pretty much day one, that man is Fingerman. Q&D residents Alan Mooney and Barry Crumley recently had the pleasure of playing alongside the big guy in Brighton’s Above Audio and haven’t stopped singing his praises since so we’re delighted to be able to add this mix to roster.

Fingerman has held residencies in Casablanca Jazz club and more recently Above Audio, both in Brighton, where he has been able to really hone his sound. Now hailed as one of the most influential acts on the disco and re-edit scene, his edits never fail to disappoint and always go down a storm on the dance floor.

In recent years labels have been virtually fighting for the chance to secure Gregg’s latest ventures for their releases as they’re guaranteed to hold their own regardless what else is on the record.

One of the hottest properties about on the re-edit scene we’re over the moon to have this mix and can’t wait for you all to have a listen. So, without further adue….

Podcast 004 - Craig Smith Live @ The Gweedore

The first part of this mix come from one of our Q&D residents Barry Crumley. Baz has been continually expanding his music collection and has really found his own sound moving between slowed down melodic house and soulful and lyrically leaning tracks..

We booked Craig to play with us in Newcastle under Twisted Logic a few years back and it was one of the best sets we've heard til' date. He played an absolute blinder of a set, and it was an eye-opener for us all so understandably we've got him in to play at our Christmas Special. This mix is no different where Craig shows his now almost unique blend of house, breaks, and a wee classic thrown in at the end for good measure ;)

Podcast 003 - LTJ Xperience

The third part of our live podcast series comes from @LTJ-Xperience. We were lucky enough to catch him twice over the weekend and he did'nt disappoint either time. In this mix Luca demonstrates his ability to roll through the genres seemlessly, keeping a flow to his tracks, mixing acid, house, downtempo, re-edits and the like.

The first part of this mix comes from one of the Queen & Disco residents, Barry 'Bee' Mc Cormick. Bee as you'll hear simply delves into his record crate of slowed down chuggers, whilst building a nice bit of momentum before LTJ.. Hope you enjoy :)

Q&D

Souldiction // Studio55

Been a wee while since the last post, so it's only fair to post up a whole heap of bangers to get you through the week.

First comes from our man, Late Nite Tuff Guy. He released this a month or so ago and we can't stop listening to it

Been hearing this Sister Sledge tune for ages now but this particular edit always seemed to slip through the net whenever it came to finding it, so delighted to have finally done so. This recently featured in a mix from the heads in charge of Studio 55, a new night in Newcastle which promises to be a whole heap of fun going by the mix and their facebook goings-on. One to keep an eye on if you're in the North East for sure.

Next is a crowd from Berlin, Souldiction, who fire out some half decent "Hip Hop/ Electronica/ Soul" mixes from time to time, but a lot of the times they can be brown gear. This is one of their better ones, nice and chilled.

Queen & Disco ¦ Podcast 002 - Pt's 1&2

For the second installment of our podcast series we have a double header of live sets taken from our recent night with Get Down Edits and Late Nite Tuff Guy. The two were kind enough to allow us to record live from The Gweedore and they didn't disappoint in the slightest.

PART 1 - Get Down Edits

The first part of the podcast comes from the same fella's who brought us our first ever podcast series, Get Down Edits. On warm up duties for the night the lads, as expected, delivered the goods.  We all agreed that the lads could have well headlined the event and we'll have 'em back up north soon enough no doubt.



PART 2 - Late Nite Tuff Guy

The 2nd part of the poddy comes from none other than Late Nite Tuff Guy. We were beaming from ear to ear when we first heard this recording back. As you'd expect from a man who's knowledge and experience is so vast, the set was perfectly crafted over the 90 odd minutes and rose to a bouncing crescendo which had everyone forgetting their dignity.

Make some time for this and give it a listen....

Mark E - Resident Advisor Podcast #112

Mark E - RA.112 by Podshot on Mixcloud

The post today comes from way back in 2008 in the form of Mark E's Resident Advisor Podcast. This is one of those podcast's that you just seem to always go back to and it constantly sounds fresh, and still one of our favourites today..

Dublin Aunts | Heartbreak Reputation (Drop Out Orchestra Mix)

                                                Goodies all round with this one.

Norma Jean Bell ¦ I'm The Baddest Bitch (In The Room) (Moodyman Mix)

Motor City Drum Ensemble | Boiler Room London

If you haven't already had a listen to this tasty little mix from MCDE then plug in the speakers and get stuck into it. Full of disco gems, a real feelgood set from the man we all know and love for his deeper house tracks. MCDE recently done a Behind the Beats for Resident Advisor, explaining why he took time out to think about his career and how he manages suffering from anxiety attacks. In the feature, you can see how much music means to him and he shows he has another side to his musical tastes here. One of our favourite DJ's and has been for some time ..

Midnight Madness ¦ Beam Me Up (Jacques Renault Mix)

An oldie but a goodie....

Podcast 001 Get Down Edits

Prior to announcing our first series of events, we worked hard to ensure we got in the right acts.  The boys at Get Down Edits certainly fit the bill.  They have worked tirelessly in their native Waterford to spread their infectious sound and are now starting to fully reap the rewards.  Their summer roster is mouth watering and sees them play at gigs across the country, and indeed Europe, as well as an appearance at the much heralded SeaSessions.

So it was a massive honour when they agreed to put together an exclusive mix for Queen & Disco and help us kick off our Q&D Volumes with a bang.



They will of course be playing at our 2nd of August gig alongside Late Nite Tuff Guy, which already is shaping up to be a disco extravaganza.


We will be making it available to everyone to download over the weekend so keep an eye.

FEATURE ¦ Last Night a DJ Saved my Life

I recently read a great article by Pete Walker entitled: The Revolution will be Slow and Sexy. This was a piece based on the author of Last night a DJ saved my Life and legendary UK DJ/Producer, Bill Brewster. The article was in keeping with the whole Daft Punk craze that seems to be sweeping the globe, never-mind the nation these days. When I say in keeping with this craze, what I mean by that is now more than ever there seems to be a real sense of shift in the direction music is about to take, mainly due to DP's massive popularity amongst electronic lovers.

We Love... Dicky Trisco Mix

"We Love..." noted that dicky bleeds glitter ball, I agree. He loves disco so much he puts PVC glue on his balls and sticks himself to speakers so that he never isn't at a disco. Mad man if you ask me.. This poddy is full of disco gems, re-edits and the like. Pwefuorl Sutff
