For our 55th Truancy Volume we take a little trip to Scotland’s third most populous city Aberdeen. Also wildly known as The Granite City, it is home to the busiest heliport in the world (little fact for you) and is also the birth place of Tuff Wax Records. Founded in 2009, the label originally stated […]

Our fifty-fourth Truancy Volume comes from Los Angeles beatmaker D33J. We first met him back at SXSW when we learned of his involvement with the WeDidIt Collective, and shortly thereafter realized that not only was he super likeable, but his music is as well, so naturally we’re very excited to finally share this mix with […]

Andrew Field-Pickering, commonly referred to as Maxmillion Dunbar or Max D, is in control of the decks for Truancy Volume 53. He is one half of the Future Times, the label responsible for some of dreamiest and tastefully retrospective music of the last few years.

There’s no denying Canada has brought us more than a fair share of musical talent in the past couple of years.

Before the London native Rob Glassett slowly started showcasing his solo efforts by means of his Fold moniker, we first came to know of him through his deep house output together with Sam Fussell under the guise of Homepark. A quick glance at the duo’s discography and the labels they’ve associated themselves with, such as […]

New York resident and new kid on the block Anthony Naples made quite a stir earlier this year with his debut release on Mister Saturday Night, “Mad Disrespect”. The record, made up of his first finished tracks, is exactly what we would expect from a New York house record; it’s sexy, made for the dancefloor, […]

Nova Scotian producer Ryan Hemsworth is both a product of his time and one of the rising stars who is quickly attracting much-deserved attention his way. In a short period of time, he’s come out with a number of incredibly memorable solo EP releases as well as his impressive substantial catalogue of rap productions for […]
Read moreTruancy Volume 46: Eclair Fifi
Using just one word, Edinburgh native and resident LuckyMe deejay Eclair Fifi once described the prolific Glaswegian label she calls home as colourful. It’s only fitting that this word, though abatedly, also perfectly describes her immense talent as a master selector where she comfortably hops between myriads of genres and auras like it ain’t nothing. […]
