Dirty Disco 613 delivers another carefully curated two-hour journey through the worlds of deep house, soulful house, underground grooves, and disco reworks. Hosted by Kono Vidovic and recorded for Deep Radio (airing every Monday evening from 19:00 to 21:00 CET), this episode combines established labels, timeless classics, and brand-new releases into a narrative that connects the past, present, and future of electronic music.

Listeners can expect selections from Monologues Records, Soul Quest, Heist Recordings, The Disco Express, Pont Neuf, Batavia Records, and Nublu. The mix features tracks by Laurence Guy, Damian Rausch, Tree Threes, D Stone, Bayside, S-Pazz, and a reimagined cut of Chaka Khan. It also celebrates Monologues Records’ ten-year anniversary, adding historical context and depth to the journey.

Monologues Records: Celebrating 10 Years

Founded in 2015 by Ben Gomori, Monologues Records has always worked from the idea that each release is a “monologue” a personal story told in sound. Over the past decade, the label has gained a reputation for putting out deep house that combines intimacy with dancefloor power.

In Dirty Disco 613, Monologues is represented by:

  • Laurence Guy – Sunlite
  • Laurence Guy – Les Mur
  • Damian Rausch – Roots

Laurence Guy has developed a style blending jazz influences, lo-fi textures, and even elements of 90s rave nostalgia into house music. His work resonates equally well on rainy afternoons and in peak-time club settings. Damian Rausch extends this philosophy with raw grooves that highlight the stripped-down yet emotive character of the label.

For more about how Monologues Records has been shaping underground sounds, check out our feature on Dirty Disco 610 – The Return of Deep, Disco & Soulful House.

Tree Threes and Soul Quest

One of the highlights of this week’s episode is Tree Threes’ Love You Forever EP, released on Soul Quest. The EP includes Right Way, Under Water, Can You Say, and Love You Forever.

Soul Quest has carved out a niche in the vinyl community, pressing house music that blends melodic depth with timeless grooves. Each track from Tree Threes on this release feels like a different chapter in a longer narrative. The jazzy undertones and soulful phrasing make these tracks suitable for both collectors and DJs searching for warm, emotive sounds.

If you enjoy this sound, you may also like Dirty Disco 612: A Deep House Journey, which explored deeper melodic textures in underground house.

Nublu Orchestra – Sciubba Diving (Claude VonStroke Remix)

Another standout moment comes from the Nublu Orchestra, with the Claude VonStroke remix of Sciubba Diving. Originally released in 2007, the track was part of New York’s Nublu scene, which blurred the lines between jazz, electronics, and experimental improvisation.

Claude VonStroke, who was shaping the Dirtybird sound at the time, transformed the original into a hypnotic minimal-tech house trip. Nearly two decades later, the remix still fits seamlessly into a modern mix, proving the timelessness of electronic music when experimentation and groove come together.

Bayside, Felmann and D Stone

The Disco Express brings disco and funk into the spotlight with Bayside and Felmann. Tracks like Funky Love, Darling, and I Believe show how modern productions can capture the spirit of classic disco while maintaining a contemporary edge.

On Heist Recordings, D Stone contributes several memorable tracks: Everything from the Organ, Yes I Am, and Move Over featuring ELY. Known for consistency and quality, Heist Recordings continues to push deep house that is playful, soulful, and undeniably effective on the dancefloor.

For more Heist-inspired sounds, revisit Dirty Disco 609 – A Different Kind of Flow, which also featured the label’s forward-thinking releases.
