🪩 Studio 54 × Paradise Garage: Nu Disco House Party Come for the classics. Stay for a little dancefloor flirtation. 💋 We open with a loving tribute to the classics of Studio 54 and the spirit of Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage. Dan Hartman’s ‘Relight My Fire’ sets the mood, with First Choice’s ‘Doctor Love’ and Harvey Mason’s ‘Groovin’ You’ keeping you in very good company. Diana Ross and Rene & Angela bring the sweetness before ‘Let No Man Put Asunder’ ushers us into the Nu Disco House Party. And this is where things get delicious… Róisín Murphy lays down ‘Murphy’s Law’, while Låpsley’s ‘Operator’ gets the irresistible DJ Koze treatment. Michael Gray’s ‘Push (In the Bush)’ arrives with a cheeky Birdee remix, and Studio 54 Music, JKriv & RickExpress bring Voyage’s ‘Souvenirs’ back under the mirrorball. ✨ Horse Meat Disco and Kathy Sledge turn up the affection with ‘Falling Deep in Love’, remixed by Dave Lee under his Joey Negro alias. Seamus Haji and Kathy Brown take us to ‘A Better Place’, with Pete Tong and Boy George joining the party on ‘Symphony of You’ in its Loods remix. A little old-school seduction with plenty of fresh disco energy. There’s room for you under this mirrorball. 🪩 Selected and mixed with love by The Funk Assassin. Press play. Let’s see where the night takes us. 🖤

DD033 | Studio 54 Halloween Disco Celebration 🎃🪩 Happy heavenly birthday, Bernard Edwards. Thank you for bringing the thunder to our dancefloors. ❤️ Welcome to a Discothèque Decadence Halloween celebration, where Studio 54 glamour meets wicked basslines, glittering disco classics and fresh Nu Disco grooves. We open with a CHIC mini mix celebrating Bernard’s unmistakable groove and the gloriously tight pocket of CHIC. That bass, that rhythm section, those irresistible little spaces between the notes. Music that gets straight into your hips! Then we keep the party moving with Folamour, Block & Crown, Seamus Haji, Giorgio Moroder, Birdee and Ken@Work, bringing disco favourites, reimagined classics and plenty of dancefloor mischief before a sparkling remix of “Souvenirs” brings us home. Think mirror balls, Halloween decadence and one more dance before the lights come on. Costumes optional. Getting down strongly encouraged. 🎃 All tracks selected and mixed with love by The Funk Assassin. Press play and give Bernard a birthday dance. 🪩❤️

DD032 | Nu Disco House Party 🪩🌕❄️ Snow on the mountains, a Hunter’s Moon overhead and a dancefloor far too warm for an early night. Welcome to a little Discothèque Decadence après-ski escapism. Leave your boots by the door and make yourself at home… We open with The Emotions’ “Best of My Love”, because sometimes one song is all it takes to put a huge smile on someone’s face. A little joy, a lot of soul and an excellent reason to dance around the kitchen. ❤️ Then we’re off: Dave Lee brings the swagger to “Rappers Delight”, Michael Gray gives “Love X Love” a fresh sparkle, and “Just The Two Of Us” settles into the kind of groove that makes the rest of the world feel pleasantly far away. There’s a moonlit detour through Eagles’ “One Of These Nights”, a little gratitude with “Be Thankful For What You Got”, and plenty of dancefloor mischief courtesy of Masters At Work, Crazy P and Opolopo. “Is It Love You’re After” turns up the warmth before “There’s No Stoppin’ Us” and “Every Time You Touch Me” help bring us home. Twenty-two tracks of soul, disco and feel-good house, put together with a full heart and a slightly unreasonable belief that there’s always time for one more tune. Whether you’re beneath a disco ball or dancing barefoot at home, there’s a place for you here. With love, The Funk Assassin 🖤 TRACK LIST: 1. The Emotions – Best of My Love 2.

There’s plenty to get stuck into along the way, with Dave Lee on “Get Fly” and Dimitri From Paris & Mousse T. bringing the party to “Catch The Beat”.

Welcome to Velvety Grooves, the electronic playground of The Funk Assassin. In this session, we explore a psychedelic electronic soundscape of low-slung grooves, hypnotic melodies and dirty, bluesy textures. Inspired by the sound of Tennessee, it asks a question: what if The Black Keys were reimagined for a modern dancefloor, driven by electronic beats? We kick off with a fun opening run to get thing's started: Gloria Estefan’s “Dr. Beat,” Tensnake, Nile Rodgers and Fiora’s “Love Sublime,” and “Perfect Place” by I.M YONI, Yasmin and Robert PM. Then we get deep down and dirty into the session, as raw guitar spirit, cosmic synths and a chugging pulse take over. Turn it up and let the groove take you somewhere. PLAYLIST 1.

DD030 | Balearic Nu Disco House Party 🌕🍹🪩 Welcome to the final Discothèque Decadence of the summer season! You know those nights when you’re at a party, the DJ doesn’t turn up and you just happen to have a USB stick in your pocket? Well, it would be rude not to… 😉 That’s the spirit behind this impromptu session. Nineteen tracks of disco magic, irresistible vocals and feel-good house, made for a summer send-off with a little Balearic sparkle. Picture an Ibiza terrace, cocktails flowing and a blood-red harvest moon hanging over the Mediterranean. Nobody’s quite ready to go home. Giorgio Moroder opens proceedings with the Shakedown mix of “I Wanna Rock You”, before Roland Clark’s “My Life Is a Disco” sets the mood beautifully. Opolopo brings his touch to Fatback Band and AC Soul Symphony, while Purple Disco Machine supplies both the delicious “Disco Cherry” and his edit of Chemise’s “She Can’t Love You”. There’s plenty to sing along to as Moloko’s “Sing It Back” arrives in Mousse T’s Feel Love Mix, followed by DE SOFFER & Simon Ellis bringing “Make It With Chu” and “Walking on a Dream” into the party. Gino Soccio’s “Dancer” keeps the disco spirit alive, while Sylvester’s “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” gets the Soulwax for Despacio treatment. And because one more dance is never quite enough, Dimitri from Paris puts his spin on Average White Band’s “Let’s Go Round Again”. Jungle and Erick the Architect’s “Candle Flame”, Adelphi Music Factory’s “Heat from the Fire” and Angelo Ferreri’s closing “Love Me Around” keep the good feeling going right to the finish. An unexpected turn behind the decks, a pocketful of tunes and one last summer party. Turn it up and join me on the dancefloor. ✨ Enjoying the session?

Sunset to Sunrise: Autumnal Equinox Special 🌅🌒🍂 The final sundown mix of the year. As summer quietly gives way to autumn, Sunset to Sunrise is a moment to pause, reflect on what has been, let go of what no longer needs to be carried, and make space for whatever comes next. Inspired by the Autumnal Equinox, that brief point of balance between light and darkness, this journey begins in the warmth of the dying sun and gradually moves deeper into the night. There is melancholy here, but also hope. It is the feeling of closing one chapter without quite knowing what the next one will bring. The opening stretch drifts through the Balearic warmth of Londonbeat’s I’ve Been Thinking About You (Chillside Remix), Hosini’s beautiful Capella, and the timeless emotion of Need To Feel Loved, before moving through the hypnotic worlds of Rampa, Adam Port & Âme, CAMELPHAT, Bonobo, Lane 8, Eelke Kleijn and more. Running through the mix are several of my own unreleased Funk Assassin productions, including Carried by the Evening, Sun-Faded Ibiza, Don’t Let The Night Go and Heartbeat Under the Dark. These were written specifically for that strange space between sunset and darkness, memory and possibility. By the time French Kiss and Love Love Love arrive, we have travelled from the last warmth of the season into something altogether more nocturnal. There is something beautiful about autumn’s reminder that letting go is not necessarily an ending. The trees change colour because they have to. The light fades. The seasons move on. Sometimes we have to do the same. So this is one last sunset for 2026. A soundtrack to everything that happened. A thank you for everything that stayed. A release of everything that did not. And a quiet welcome to everything still waiting beyond the horizon. See you on the other side of sunrise. The Funk Assassin 🍂🌅🌌 TRACK LIST 1.

Welcome to Summer’s End Farewell, a golden hour mix inspired by Café del Mar, Balearic beach culture and that magical moment when the setting sun turns everything to gold. Filled with dreamy melodies, warm grooves and heartfelt energy, the mix captures the beauty of late summer as daylight slowly fades into the evening. The journey features an incredible cast of artists, including Bicep, Moby, Sasha, Honey Dijon, HNNY, Satin Jackets, Chicane, Bondax and Kraak & Smaak. Highlights include Bicep’s timeless “Glue,” followed by a very special mashup that brings the mix to an emotional close.

Find your sunset, press play and let the music carry you away. Enjoy the existential bliss.

🌅 SUMMER’S END NU DISCO HOUSE PARTY 🪩 One last dance beneath the summer sun.
