#TBT 🎧 Throwing it back to 1984 with one of the most iconic synth-pop and club anthems of all time: Bronski Beat - "Smalltown Boy".

Fast forward to today, and its legacy continues to light up house sets worldwide. DUSTIN (@dustin_adolph) closes out his exclusive guest mix tomorrow with Kotiēr’s brilliant modern interpretation of this timeless classic.

Hear it in full alongside 60 minutes of ultra-smooth deep, soulful, and afro house grooves on tomorrow’s episode of @enamoured_sounds with @unique.deejay & @daveskinz!

Catch the show Friday on @mix93fm:

The launch of BIBLIOTECH - The Storyteller Returns, a 12-week electronic music residency at Biblio from July to September 2026, was an ambitious winter project and a milestone in my career. It also became a stronghold of focus during a time of profound loss.

Just as I was scheduled to launch the series, my father unexpectedly passed away. The weight was immense. I sat by his side, comforting a great man who diligently cared for his family his entire life. Within a week, he was gone, and we faced an entirely new reality.

With a massive project ahead, I asked myself: what would Dad do? The answer was clear—he would push on. I felt a surge of strength wash over me, as though he left me one last gift. He was an exceptionally committed man, so I poured myself into the events, anchoring myself in the work that mattered most, just as he always had.

Every week, I made a point to show up and commit. This was documented in a specific photograph captured from the first event to the last: “NYX. & The Narrators.” These legendary photos of the 'storytellers, & NYX. became a testament to a dedication reflective of both mine & my father's work ethic.

Looking at this collection of images—shared here alongside one of my dad and me—I don't just see a successful run of events. I see a timeline of survival, commitment, and the hard work required to show up for your passion when your world is deeply shaken.

My father was a drummer from a musical family, the true source of the musicality in my veins. Throughout those 12 chapters, his spirit was palpable. His unwavering consistency became my guiding force, helping me push through exhaustion and loss to keep the rhythm alive for myself & the 700 souls who chose to dance with me through a very challenging chapter of my life.

True dedication isn't about showing up when it's easy; it's about keeping the beat going when your heart is breaking. This is a tribute to the healing power of music, to Ernest & the artists and my dad, Gerard.

Thank you for the music, the courage you lived by, and the lifelong values you instilled in us.

I am here, because you were.
❤️
Today, marks exactly 4 months of my Father's passing.

#TBT: The Anatomy of an Anthem

This week on @enamoured_sounds - @unique.deejay is featuring X & Ivy's speed garage weapon "Outro". That infectious "repeat" vocal loop carries a 30-year clubbing lineage...

🗂️ 1997 // THE RAVE EVOLUTION: A.T.G.O.C. speeds up a sliver of that sermon for "Repeated Love" (Extended Mix).

🗂️ 1998 // THE SOUTH AFRICAN ANTHEM: The Rollercoasters Pumped Up Mix lands in South Africa via @espclubbing EP One" - mixed by SA house pioneer DJ Nelson - shaping a generation on our dancefloor.

🗂️ 2025 // THE REINVENTION: X & Ivy flip that exact vocal loop into "Outro", breathing fresh speed garage energy into a legendary sample.
