    Next up, we are delighted to welcome the Idjut Boys back to Rí-Rá. Dan and Conrad have defined the stoner disco/house sound since long before it was trendy, and are due a hell of a lot of credit for kickstarting the current "space disco" craze.

    Having met up through bleary trips to Brighton's Tonka nights in the early 90s (featuring a certain DJ Harvey), the lads soon made a name for themselves with their U-Star night in London. A series of outstanding releases followed on their U-Star and Noid imprints, including the mighty Whoktish, Girth Soup, Turntable Turbulance and an album by the wonderful title Life: The Shoeing You Deserve. Their records display dancefloor nous, production smarts and a wicked sense of humour that has set them far ahead of the pack.

    The Idjuts' mix albums (most notably Saturday Night Live on Nuphonic, a second installment on Glasgow Underground and the DTS favourite Press Play on Tirk) have showcased their trademark reverb drenched re-edits, featuring their take on tracks by everyone from Tantra, Goody Goody and Haircut 100 to Lindstrom and Aril Brikha.

    The boys have been busy of late, with a double LP of edits on Noid as Phantom Slasher, together with a sprinkling of 12"s and remixes in the past 18 months that have been permanent fixtures on the downtownsounds jukebox. And with a very fine 12" on Spacid's Radius Records set to drop, not to mention a much anticipated collaboration wth Harvey, they show no signs of letting up.

    Farley is a hard act to follow, but an Idjuts dj set really is something special. Slaloming through genres and tempos as they see fit, the boys' musical knowledge and feel for the dancefloor are second to none. Their turn at Rí-Rá in May 2005 nearly caused a collective aneurysm, going down in DTS history as one of our best ever parties. But don't take our word for it, have a listen for yourselves:
