TDLR;

Dirty Disco 628 is the first episode of 2026 and features a long-form DJ mix focused on deep, underground, and groove-driven house music. Curated and mixed by Kono Vidovic, the episode is available as a hosted version with voice-overs and an extended DJ-only version for Mixcloud members. The show emphasizes flow, restraint, and intentional music selection rather than fast transitions or trend-based tracks.

What to Expect in Dirty Disco 628

This episode explores several key strands of contemporary house music:

• Underground and groove-driven house
• Dub-influenced and rhythm-focused tracks
• Soulful and vocal moments without losing club energy
• Deeper late-night selections for long listening sessions

The selection balances new releases and established names, with artists who understand how house music functions over time, not just in isolated moments.

You will hear music from Saint Paul, Axel Boman, Felipe Gordon, Better Than Lex, MK, Gerd, Fred P, and more, each contributing to the overall narrative of the mix.

DJ-Only vs Hosted Versions

Dirty Disco 628 is available in two formats:

• Hosted version (free)
  Includes subtle voice-overs that provide context and transitions, while keeping the focus firmly on the music.
• DJ-only version (Mixcloud Members)
  An extended, uninterrupted mix created specifically for deep listening. No voice-overs, no breaks, just the full musical journey from start to finish.

Both versions share the same musical foundation, but offer a different listening experience depending on how deep you want to go.

Why Episode 628 Works as a Long-Form Mix

Rather than aiming for instant peaks, Dirty Disco 628 is structured around continuity. Tracks are selected and ordered to support each other, allowing the mix to breathe and evolve naturally.

This approach reflects a broader philosophy behind Dirty Disco:
house music as a listening experience, not background noise or disposable content.

For DJs, producers, and serious listeners, this episode offers insight into how records function together over time, not just individually.
