Was watching this excellent set Sunni D Loves To Boogie (Afro | Disco | House) Vinyl DJ Mix and it got me wondering who are the young guns out there?

Ricky Chong
Raw Queen
Young Discollector
these are the 3 guys Iāve been listening to most online these days. All 3 great Disco/Modern Soul and in Chongās case House DJās. Much better than the other dude whoās gotten himself in trouble organizing girls only parties and jumping up and down on instagram.

Can you recommend a Ricky Chong mix please?
Must admit Iād never heard of him and a quick google came up with his RA bio which reads like a mix between AI slop and Private Eye pseudās cornerā¦
"Ricky Chong illuminates the oft-forgotten music of yesteryear with prescient sounds of the now, with the Irish-born dj and producer dispersing timeless selections and immense passion to jubilant dancefloors.
His dj sets tend to circumvent the glorious sounds of dance musicās past to present, with genres changing in the blink of a blend; if it sounds good and moves him both emotionally and physically, then heās all about it. Ricky achieves this perennial fusion through remarkable technical dexterity in the booth. His tools though merely aid his cause, instead itās his willingness to explore this vast wonderland of musical joy thatās testament to his ferocious appetite for exploration within the dance. Ricky possesses an undying love for his craft, eager to present his seemingly infinite record collection to dancefloors weekly. He is nothing short of memorable moments whenever taking to the decks, making his guardianship in the club a vital experience for anyone willing to abide."

Ricky Chong is great for a dance, have heard him a few times here. Ive this set in my SoundCloud faves but canāt remember what itās like
Listen to Ricky Chong at Dublin Disco All Dayer - Orlagh House 05.10.24 by Ricky Chong on #SoundCloud
Sarah Tonin consistently impresses with her do you shows, this recent 4 hour session is brilliant. think sheās a fully fledged part of the low life team now too. Babyschon and Tia Cousins also faves and seem young to me, though when Ur mid 40s most ppl seem young

Saw her play out with auntie flo and they were both great. Also really rate Rosy Ross - she played with Charlie bones one night and was the highlight of the night.
Edit: forgot to mention Rosie Ama as rightly pointed out by @del below

Raw Queen for disco
Ricky Chong for from disco to house
Mystery Friend for a lil bit heavier proto, italo and electro beats. Mix below is on his softer side
Juan Izguerra is a crazy digger for downtempo, proto and house
Kuriosa, co-host of Love Transmission parties in Rotterdam, is great for organic-disco-jazz dancefloor
Material and Ines from Chicago, both continue the legacy of older local heroes

Hey Pete, remember, Andy Whitby is not just a hard house DJ, he is an experience. He is a state of mind.

Also Rosie Ama. Hereās a link to a night shes playing at in Glasgow called Expressions. And the promoter of the night, Lovell, also fits the bill. Lovely young dude that i met at Convenanza and in Glasgow, where he has a radio show on Subcity Radio. Highly recommend!

Ariane V always does wicked mixes, and seems to pop up at the right parties

Sarah Tonin is great. Bill really mentored/championed her at Lowlife and sheās now such a huge part of it/major draw. Donāt think Lowlife would have survived/regenerated without Sarah or Billās other female Young Guns he booked.
Heard Tia Cousins was brilliant at Convenaza across various sets but no idea if sheās a real young gun newcomer or more established.
I tend to think the proper underground young guns are people Iāve never heard of, playing brilliant music at parties I would never hear of or be invited to! Exactly as it should be.
