Dirty Disco 645 arrives one week later than planned, but with a stronger story, a deeper flow, and a beautifully curated selection of warm deep house, soulful grooves, jazzy textures, subtle acid lines, and refined club energy. After a short Barcelona break, Kono Vidovic returns with fresh ears and a two-hour journey featuring Andy Ash, Atjazz & Fred Everything, Natasha Diggs & Megatronic, Pete Bandit, Holo, Musumeci, Marco Faraone & Ejeca, Braga Circuit and more.

At the heart of this episode is Atjazz & Fred Everything’s new album 8 Days on Lazy Day Recordings: a deep house project rooted in decades of friendship, studio craft and shared musical language. Alongside that album focus, Dirty Disco 645 moves through fresh 2026 releases from Departure Lounge, Winding Road, The Jazz Diaries, Soul Quest, Dirt Crew, Anjunadeep, UNCAGE, Rinse, Fortune Signal and other forward-thinking imprints.

Quick Groove Guide: What You Need To Know

Dirty Disco 645 is a warm and music-rich episode built around modern deep house, soulful electronic grooves and carefully selected new releases. The episode features several tracks from Atjazz & Fred Everything’s 8 Days, a major deep house album on Lazy Day Recordings that officially lists a May 15, 2026 release through Bandcamp and other retailers.

The episode also includes three tracks from Andy Ash’s When The Sunlight Comes EP on Departure Lounge, released May 1, 2026, including “Deep Edge,” “When The Sunlight Comes” and the Flabaire remix of “Sunrise Acid.”

Because this episode arrived a week later than usual, there is also an extended DJ-only members mix available through the Dirty Disco members section. That exclusive version includes five extra tracks, no talking, and more than 148 minutes of continuous music.

Why Dirty Disco 645 Was Worth The Wait

Sometimes a small delay creates space for a better episode. Dirty Disco 645 came after a week in Barcelona: a city full of rhythm, warmth, late-night energy and record-store inspiration. That energy comes through in this episode’s programming. Instead of rushing toward peak-time pressure, the mix takes its time.

The first part leans into deep and warm foundations. The middle section moves through album storytelling, soulful vocals, reflective deep house and hypnotic groove work. The final stretch tightens the rhythm with Musumeci, Fortune Signal, Marco Faraone & Ejeca, and Braga Circuit.

That makes episode 645 more than a list of new tracks. It feels like a coherent radio journey: warm at the start, narrative in the middle, club-focused near the end.

The Central Story: Atjazz & Fred Everything – 8 Days

The biggest musical story in Dirty Disco 645 is 8 Days, the new album from Atjazz & Fred Everything on Lazy Day Recordings. Online listings confirm the album as LZDLP22, with a May 15, 2026 release / pre-order date. The album includes tracks heard in this episode, such as “Float,” “Conquest,” “Language,” “Water To Fire” and “Good Night.”

The background makes the record even stronger. Atjazz, also known as Martin Iveson, and Fred Everything, also known as Frédéric Blais, have known each other since the late 1990s. According to the release story shared for the album, the project began with an eight-day studio session at Atjazz’s home in the Midlands, built around one simple creative rule: one track per day.

That is why the title 8 Days matters. It is not just branding. It describes the creative spark. The music started with speed, instinct and trust, then developed over years into a carefully finished deep house album.

In Dirty Disco 645, “Float” brings the live trumpet feel of Octavio N. Santos into the mix, while “Language” shows how naturally Atjazz and Fred Everything communicate through rhythm, chords and sound design. “Good Night,” “Water To Fire” and “Conquest” continue the album’s warm, experienced and deeply musical character.

This is deep house with history behind it. It nods to the 90s without becoming retro theatre. It is musical, patient and functional, but never dull.

Andy Ash

Andy Ash Opens The Door With Departure Lounge Warmth

Dirty Disco 645 starts with Andy Ash – “Deep Edge”, followed later by “When The Sunlight Comes” and the Flabaire remix of “Sunrise Acid.” These tracks are taken from Andy Ash’s When The Sunlight Comes EP on Departure Lounge, catalog number DL008, released May 1, 2026.

The EP sits perfectly at the entrance of this episode. Retail and label descriptions position it as warm and deep, with euphoric energy, acid influences and a slung-out B-side that shows Andy Ash’s range.

That is exactly why “Deep Edge” works as an opener. It does not explode into the room. It opens the room. It sets the tone: deep, slightly nostalgic, textured and patient.

Mar De Novo and the Return of Playful Disco-House Detail

After Andy Ash, the episode moves into Mar De Novo – “Over There” from the Last Disco On Earth EP on Winding Road Records. Traxsource lists the EP as ROAD034, with May 1, 2026 as the digital release date, while several vinyl retailers list a later June 2026 vinyl release window.

“Over There” is one of those tracks that brings movement and mischief into the mix. Deejay describes it as a bass-heavy, undulating house cut with unusual interludes and unexpected samples.

That makes it a useful early moment in the episode. It loosens the structure and adds character. The groove is functional, but the details keep it from becoming predictable.

Lee Coombs & Tara Brooks Bring Classic House Function

Lee Coombs & Tara Brooks – “Tell Me (Lee’s Classic Mix)” gives the first half of the episode a more classic club-house edge. It follows naturally after the warm opener material, adding propulsion without becoming too heavy.

This is the type of track that works because it understands the DJ context. It has a clear groove, a classic structure and enough old-school tension to keep the mix alive. It does not need to shout. It simply does the job.

Natasha Diggs & Megatronic: Community Energy On The Jazz Diaries

One of the strongest vocal moments in Dirty Disco 645 is Natasha Diggs & Megatronic – “LEEN” on The Jazz Diaries. The single was released May 1, 2026, and EVL describes it as the lead single from their collaborative People project, combining a deep funky groove, Megatronic’s vocals, soul-infused brass arrangements and modern club energy.

This is an important shift in the episode. After the floating elegance of Atjazz & Fred Everything’s “Float,” “LEEN” adds personality, vocal attitude and a sense of community. It reminds you that club music is not only about drums and basslines. It is also about people, movement and shared energy.

Ten Walls & Igoris Lobanovas Add Cinematic Tension

Ten Walls & Igoris Lobanovas – “Dreaming” adds a more cinematic shade to the first hour. The track sits between melodic atmosphere and dancefloor tension, giving the episode a slightly wider emotional range.

Placed after “LEEN,” it keeps the set moving while changing the lighting. It is not a peak-time shock track. It is more about gradual pressure, atmosphere and release.

Max Sinàl’s Reflection: Deep House As Inner Work

Around the 49-minute mark, Max Sinàl – “Reflection” brings a more introspective tone. The track comes from the Healing EP on Soul Quest Records. Bandcamp lists the EP as released May 1, 2026, with four tracks: “Reflection,” “Maya,” “Alone” and “Healing” featuring Liv East.

The concept behind the EP adds real depth. Juno describes Healing as a personal, mental-health-themed record, with “Reflection” representing introspection, “Maya” reflecting fatherhood, “Alone” dealing with internal struggle and “Healing” representing acceptance.

In the mix, “Reflection” works as more than a beautiful deep house record. It gives the episode a moment of emotional grounding. It is warm, soulful and personal without becoming overly sentimental.

Pete Bandit: Deep House With A Rawer Human Edge

Dirty Disco 645 features two tracks from Pete Bandit’s Trying & Crying EP on Dirt Crew Recordings: “No Control (Let Loose)” and “The Meat Computer.” Dirt Crew’s Bandcamp confirms the EP as a four-tracker featuring “Trying & Crying,” “No Control (Let Loose),” “The Meat Computer” and a Dr. Sud remix of “No Control.”

“The Meat Computer” also appears in Dirt Crew’s own SoundCloud materials with an April 10, 2026 release date for the EP.

Pete Bandit brings a slightly rawer, more physical deep house feel into the episode. “No Control” leans into classic deep house warmth: pads, vocal atmosphere and a loose but steady groove. “The Meat Computer” is tighter and more percussive, with more pressure in the low end.

It is also one of the best track titles in the episode. “The Meat Computer” sounds like a broken office printer that somehow learned how to DJ. Fortunately, the track itself is much better than that image.

Leaving Laurel Remixed By K-LONE: Melancholy With Movement

Leaving Laurel – “our lives entwined (K-LONE Remix)” appears in the second half of the episode, offering a more melodic and emotional shade. Traxsource lists the remix on our lives entwined (remixed) via Anjunadeep, catalog ANJCD164RBD, released April 14, 2026.

The K-LONE remix keeps the emotional character of Leaving Laurel intact but pulls it closer to the floor. It is spacious, polished and grounded enough to work inside the mix without losing its reflective tone.

Dario Trapani Keeps The Groove Practical

Dario Trapani – “Let’s Work It Out” brings a direct and practical house moment into the episode. This is not the most complex record in the mix, and that is not a weakness. Sometimes the right track is the one that keeps the momentum alive.

The title almost works like a DJ instruction: let’s work it out. The groove does the talking.

Musumeci: Compact, Direct And Built For Movement

Musumeci – “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” and “Thinking About You” both appear in Dirty Disco 645. Traxsource lists the two-track Thinking About You release on Multinotes as MULTINOTES87, released April 10, 2026, while Apple Music lists March 27, 2026 for the single.

The release blends urban grooves and melodic textures in Musumeci’s signature style.

These tracks are effective because they stay compact. The arrangements do not waste time. They keep the body moving, hold the mix together and add energy without sacrificing warmth.

Holo’s Astro EP: Spacious, Melodic And Danceable

The episode includes three tracks from Holo’s Astro EP: “Spirits,” “Astro” and “Sympatika.” Bandcamp describes Astro as a record of ethereal, emotive and danceable frequencies, released through Last Year At Marienbad.

Apple Music lists Astro as a four-track EP released April 10, 2026, while vinyl retailers list the Last Year At Marienbad catalog reference LYAM012.

Holo gives the final third of the episode a spacious and melodic lift. “Spirits” opens that world, “Astro” expands it, and “Sympatika” becomes a beautiful late-set moment: emotional, open and still rhythmically alive.

Dan Only And Fortune Signal Push The Final Hour Forward

Dan Only – “Love Saturates” brings a deep, slightly left-of-centre house character into the final hour. It sits well between Holo’s spacious atmosphere and the more driving Fortune Signal material.

The episode then moves into Kyle Louis – “Should I Go (Benjamin Groove Remix)” and Pru Fiddy – “The Time Is Now (D.D. Curry Remix).” Both tracks are connected to Fortune Signal’s Versus release, which Bandcamp lists as released April 9, 2026 and featuring six remix-focused tracks, including Kyle Louis, Benjamin Groove, Pru Fiddy and D.D. Curry.

Traxsource lists “Should I Go (Benjamin Groove Remix)” as a 6:02 house track at 128 BPM, released April 9, 2026 on Fortune Signal.

This part of the episode tightens the energy. It is still deep and melodic, but the pacing becomes more direct.

Marco Faraone & Ejeca: Club Muscle On UNCAGE

Near the end of Dirty Disco 645, Marco Faraone & Ejeca step in with “Inside Of Me” and “Experience” from the Inside Of Me EP on UNCAGE. Bandcamp lists the EP as released May 1, 2026 with four tracks: “Inside Of Me,” “Need Some Love,” “Survival” and “Experience.”

Traxsource confirms the same release on UNCAGE, catalog UNCAGEX067D, with “Inside Of Me” and “Experience” included in the four-track EP.

This is where the episode gets more muscular. The warmth remains, but the drums are stronger and the club intention is clearer. Faraone and Ejeca bring the late-set pressure without turning the mix into blunt-force peak-time material.

Braga Circuit Closes With Warmth And Finesse

The final stretch closes with Braga Circuit – “Right When I Told You” and “Promises” on Rinse. Rinse lists “Right When I Told You” as released March 13, 2026, describing it as channeling the warmth of late 90s and early 00s deep house, with sun-flecked chords, velvet bass, rhythmic swing and textural detail.

“Promises” followed as a quietly powerful second single from a forthcoming four-track EP, built around a deep, warm house foundation.

This is a strong way to close the episode. Instead of ending with maximum pressure, Dirty Disco 645 finishes with groove, patience and emotional warmth. That fits the whole journey.

The Extended Members Mix: Five Extra Tracks And 148+ Minutes

Because Dirty Disco 645 arrived one week later than usual, members get an extended DJ-only version of the episode. That exclusive mix includes five extra tracks and runs for more than 148 minutes.

No talking. No interruptions. Just the full flow.

The extended version is made for listeners who want to go deeper into the selection and experience Dirty Disco as a continuous DJ journey. You can find it in the members section on Apple Podcasts and Mixcloud Select.

Why This Episode Works

Dirty Disco 645 works because it has a clear emotional and musical arc.

It begins with warm, deep and slightly introspective sounds. It then moves into the central album story of Atjazz & Fred Everything, adds vocal energy through Natasha Diggs & Megatronic, deepens the emotional tone with Max Sinàl and Leaving Laurel, brings in rawer groove energy through Pete Bandit, opens the atmosphere with Holo, and then pushes toward a more club-focused final section with Musumeci, Fortune Signal, Marco Faraone & Ejeca, and Braga Circuit.

That is the difference between a playlist and a DJ mix. The tracks are not just placed together because they are new. They are placed together because they build a journey.
