RA.851 Hamish & Toby
b'For some dance music fans, Hamish & Toby may be their new favourite DJs thanks to a recent US tour and excellent sets at festivals like Glastonbury, Dimensions, Houghton and Freerotation. 2022 was, after all, a breakthrough year for the UK duo. But in their own, close-knit world of Discogs fanatics and vinyl purists, Hamish Cole and Toby Wareham are admired and established names. They met while studying in Leeds, bonding over a shared love of wiggly bombs at countless clubs and hazy afterparties. They ran events (Butter Side Up, Dog Eat Dog), DJ\\u2019d tirelessly and continued to dig for obscure gems. Within a few years, they were both working full-time music jobs in London, booking Dimensions Festival (Hamish) and The Pickle Factory (Toby). (Hamish is now a director at Dimensions.) All in all, they\\u2019ve dedicated the past 15 years of their lives to dance music.\\n\\nFor all their behind-the-scenes work, Hamish & Toby\\u2019s true love is DJing together. They\\u2019re known for their long, expressive sets that go, in their own words, \\u201call over the map.\\u201d Their RA Podcast, which was recorded live at Philadelphia party Subsurface in May, is a four-hour odyssey through golden-era house, tech house and UK garage. Proper party music, in other words. According to the duo, they were \\u201cfully locked in, as comfortable as we\\u2019ve ever felt DJing.\\u201d It really shows.\\n\\n@hamishcole\\n@tobynicholas\\n\\nRead more at https://ra.co/podcast/851'
