🎊 We’re so back… in the pocket!
CD and digital now 100% out and in search of curious ears 👀👂
Thank you to everyone who contributed and indulged my epic emails.
The artists:
@apsychicyes @aliberger.dr5 @bouffantbouffant @ccdisco @cpowers_ms_mix @ciel_dj @colaxcola @eli_vision @gladstonedeluxe @el.jorgeto.por.ejemplo @knopha @_.lerosa._ @lup.one @miagmaaa @paurrrrrrrro @raidersofthelostarp @sara.wual @schuttle_ @snadmusic @theasiajames
To @hiromakeo at @_random.precision_ for mastering.
To @marutonkun for the design work.
And to everyone else who helped out along the way.
❗ NOTE ❗
There are no official release parties this time because both intended venues have recently shut down. I lost my only regular monthly income at one of them. It is bittersweet doing something like this, a project all about reinforcing musical/human connections across boundaries and outside the cogs of the corporatised machine, at the same time as that machine relentlessly homogenises and ultimately destroys the spaces where we forge those connections in the first place. A lot of the time, this label feels like a vanity project conducted with my last creative breath, but there are also moments, especially in the Lisbon of 2026, when it feels a bit like resistance. Whatever the balance, I hope these projects stand for a belief in genuine affect over spectacle, exchange over transaction, a kind of underlying mutual humanity. Shout out to everyone who’s into that too.

Roses are red
Violets are B.L.U.
Billy Jack’s new EP
Is waiting for you!
Billy Jack (@_billy_jack__) returns to Welt Discos with three bubbly originals and a dark and twisted remix 😈 from fellow queerdo Jay Duncan (@drumsofjay). The title track ‘B.L.U.’ (it stands for “boys like you”) has been cooked up three ways: first Billy serves us pumping 4/4 and moody 2-step versions, then Jay provides a tasty Van Helden-inspired roller. Meanwhile, the percolating ‘Floor Is Lava’ 🌋 spirits us straight back to the New Dance Show studio. Time to get geeked up!
The artwork for this release is a love letter to clubbing 🪩 that captures all the characters you might see on a proper night out. It was painted by Billy’s brilliant brother George (@ma.holo) — can you spot yourself and your friends in ‘Club Shenanigans’?

One of my proudest moments — opening my set at @honchopgh Campout with the DFA’s remix of Delia Gonzalez & Gavilán Rayna Russom’s ‘Rise’, from their 2005 album The Days Of Mars. This was the soundtrack to a period in my life when I was discovering electronic music and, intimately connected to that, myself. After moving to London in late 2007, I heard Four Tet play the remix at a memorable Border Community night at The End. In the run-up to Campout this year, various intersecting factors led me back again to this track 🌀
I want to say something about the quote on the second slide, from Rayna's website. I’ve never considered myself as particularly fluid, nor an organiser or strategist, nor even very community orientated. I still see myself as a loner teenager, better at communicating through a computer (like I’m doing right now) than face to face.
But when I’m DJing in a flow state, it’s like I begin to touch on the things Rayna mentions, without even looking up. Is DJing a credible proxy for actual organising? Hardly. But I also feel some of the same forces when fully in the flow of the other work I do at Campout, because I’m part of a bigger unit — the organisation and the people who join it — that puts these themes at the forefront of everything they do. And it’s through DJing that I found this space 💫
I wanted to share this specific clip because it was important for me, at the start of my set, at 2.30pm in the afternoon, at a Hemlock Hole bursting with the energy of ROJO’s jubilant finale, to insist on this moment of synthesized introspection. To sense the crowd leaning into it with me. To acknowledge my lonely teenage self. To pay tribute to women musicians and trans musicians. To connect (at the end of the clip) Delia & Rayna’s statement to another one from 20 years later: the strikingly original track ‘Atmospheric Haze’ by DC’s badass, hilarious, punky DJ, producer, label head, artist and organiser Joyce Lim (@1432r__), who was at Hemlock that afternoon. Thank you @alejogiralgil for capturing this moment. Thank you Alanis for keeping me cool 🪭
The final clip is from an hour or so later. It doesn’t come with a big narrative. It was just sick as fuck!

Once upon a time, the most fabulous dancers, kissers, homos, queers, posers, and bitches (with love) from around the world got together in Hanoi, Vietnam, every month to do what we do best.
We called the gathering Snug, which started in 2016 at our home club Savage.
Hanoi’s queer nightlife was a bit too serious back then, a bit dull, thirsty for color. So we gathered our motley crew of locals and non-locals from queer parties around the world. Different cities and different generations all got cozy and made a dance floor that was always eclectic, groovy, uplifting, and full of surprises.
In January this year, Savage closed. That one hurt. But a home isn’t its walls. It’s the people who show up, and you’ve been showing up for a decade.
So for our tenth birthday, the party’s going where the people are.
Manila…you’re hosting!
Behind the decks is a mix of old and new Snug crew: Jacob Meehan (Berlin), Joe Delon (Lisbon), JPTLPN (Manila/Boracay/Palawan/Pampanga), Nash (Manila).
Parties in this city often feel like big family reunions (the type where you discover you’ve had dozens of cousins you’ve never met). You welcomed us the first time with your homegrown Smutt, and the second time with our friends from Amsterdam, IsBurning. For this third time, it’s just us. And we’re the most excited we’ve been.
Ten years of Snug, third time in Manila. Let’s have a good fucking time.

Still taking DJ mixes incredibly seriously, I recently wrote at some length about one of my most cherished mixes to listen to over the past two years: Mystery of the Motherbeat Part 2 by @erisdrew
Not only is the mix itself worth spending a lot of time with, it comes with liner notes that are themselves a source of much meaning and new synaptic connections. As someone who likes to document their own DJing, it's a pleasure to read another artist go so deep into their work.

Thank you Eris for giving us food for the soul, ears, brain and feet all at the same time.
And thanks to readers for being patient with the rather sporadic newsletters. The next one will be the long awaited retrospective of chart dance music videos from 2003-2005 💪

Back to @tresorberlin / Globus this Saturday. Can't wait to hear some of my favourite warm-up records sounding their absolute best.
This time I'm sandwiched between a 30th anniversary listening session for Juan Atkins' Infiniti Collection and boss Glenn Underground.
Also bringing a bunch of mix CDs with me to Berlin so message me if you wanna grab one.

✅ Full tracklist!
Back In The Pocket: The Sound Of Welt Discos II
Four new tracks added to bandcamp:
⏱️ After many joint adventures at clubs and festivals across continents, it’s my pleasure to finally release music by Snad (@snadmusic) on Welt Discos. Apparently ‘Clock Gn-aw’ was composed during the pandemic just after Shyam shaved his head and “started to go UKG-mode” (his words). It’s breezy and jazzy and harmonises perfectly out of the mix opener.
🦎 I’ve been a fan of COLA REN (@colaxcola) since her 2023 EP ‘Hailu’ and she’s since released on @qeone.rec and @humanpitch. A multi-instrumentalist, her live performances often feature trumpet, melodica and other gadgets, and increasingly her own vocals too. She contributed ‘Guavaz’, a froggy vignette that sets the mood.
🐝 Jorge (@el.jorgeto.por.ejemplo) moved to Lisbon a couple of years ago and brought his whole studio with him, guitars included. The array of music he sent me for this project was pretty crazy, so there were several candidates, but ‘Bunch Of Bees’ won out for its minimal groove and atmospheric sound design.
🕺 The history between Welt Discos and Lerosa (@_.lerosa._) goes back to 2021 and Leo’s evergreen ‘Kiss Me Again’ EP (look it up!). He’s still making and posting music daily, so I picked out ‘Painful’ from the clips on his IG profile. The track rides a familiar guitar lick until it goes crosseyed, with acid in the mix too. Muzic Box material!

💿 She’s ready for her close-up…
Back In The Pocket: The Sound Of Welt Discos II
Four more tracks are now up on Bandcamp:
🌊 I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that Gladstone Deluxe (@gladstonedeluxe) has made some of the best music of the past five years. ‘Riptide Mains’ is no exception, the kind of no-fucks-given groove that will elicit instant raveface at any time of the night. And then there are those oceanic swells that twice crash through the centre of the track. Epic.
As soon as I heard ‘Glensrums’ by Tim aka A Psychic Yes (@apsychicyes), I was put in mind of The Black Dog’s classic Techno Playtime EP from 1990. Big words, I know, but it at least captures the mindspace Tim’s music puts me in, a kind of mystical, even primal state of deep listening and desire to move.
🫠 When Cecilia aka C Powers (@cpowers_ms_mix) first showed me ‘I Need Ur Love’ I told her I loved its UK Funky swing, but the next version she sent me was sanitised into a much straighter 4/4. “I forgot you were from the UK”, she replied, when I asked her why she’d done it. Thankfully she brought the Funky back and heaped on plenty of acid besides. Banger!
🍃 My first intro to Johnny aka schuttle (@schuttle_) was at a Dust Off party in Manchester circa Feb 2019, when his friend Jack handed me a white label copy of his first EP on @bakk.heia.records. He’s since put out three more killer EPs on the label, and now ‘Senbongi’, a floaty minimal groove that unfurls into a breakdown I can only describe as “bucolic”.

Remember the CD is severely limited, so get your copy on Bandcamp (or DM me if you’re fed up of fees + VAT). The full mix is on both BC and SC.

💃 From Berlin to Shanghai to New York via Lisbon…
Back In The Pocket: The Sound Of Welt Discos II
Three more tracks now up on Bandcamp:
🪩 A contemporary post-disco anthem that pays tribute to Delia Derbyshire’s pioneering 1969 track ‘Love Without Sound’? The stunning ‘On My Mind’ could only come from the imagination of @eli_vision aka The Chic Patina, featuring gorgeous vocals from Asia-James (@theasiajames).
🧨 ‘SunSunHahara Hausu’ is a no-nonsense hit of dancefloor rocket fuel from Knopha (@knopha), who I had the pleasure of meeting at OIL Club, Shenzhen, in 2024. Known for delicate releases on labels like Mule Musiq and Mood Hut, here he eschews the light touch and goes full-on firecracker mode.
🎹 It’s been six years since I first asked Ali Berger (@aliberger.dr5) if he wanted to release music on Welt Discos and finally it’s happening. Anyone who’s listened to my mixes or seen me play will know I’m a Trackland stan through and through. ‘Plasma Flow’ plays with funk and freestyle influences in Ali’s own inimitable style.

🥵 Full sleeve reveal!
Back In The Pocket: The Sound Of Welt Discos II
As always @marutonkun absolutely knocked it out of the park with a popping design that matches the colourful music found on the CD.
Four new tracks have now been added on Bandcamp:
🦇 New Orleans’ Bouffant Bouffant (@bouffantbouffant) goes on a beatless cruise around Fire Island with ‘Woodland’, hunting gay ghosts late into the sultry night.
🌀 Miagma (@miagmaaa), the producer-pizzaiolo from Sacramento, whips up some deep, rolling techno for the witching hour on ‘Plaything’.
🦾 The debut outing for Miami Daddy (@ccdisco’s alias for experimental studio work), ‘Sarah Connor Rising’ is a cinematic vignette à la Rhythm Nation 1984, made to order as a prelude to…
🍒 …the dreamy, bassy, baile funk cut-up finale of ‘Labios De Cereza’ by Lupone (@lup.one) from CDMX, which has been a staple of Joe’s sets for the past nine months.
