Simon WHYD? (What Have You Done?) has an ADHD brain and music has always been his hyperfocus. Growing up on Ministry Annuals, Fantazia, Journeys by DJ and nights at Slinkys, he was blown away by the sound systems, heat and energy. He knew he had to DJ.

After buying his first turntables, he became hooked on record shops and the scene, soon playing house parties, building residencies across Oxford and Swindon and even taking to the decks at Bristol’s legendary Blue Mountain Club.

Then life took over, the decks were packed away and Simon thought that chapter had closed.

Fast-forward to 2025 and he’s back behind the decks, blending old-school flavours with fresh, bouncy rhythms. Drawing on 25 years of crate digging, his sets are energetic, uplifting and all about feel-good music.

See you on the dance floor 🧡

Music for Walking’s 37th mix from Doog, one half of Slo Motion. Doog Douglas.

Get out, tune in, walk a while and give yourself some head space. Donate £1, which will go directly to Talk Club. You’ll find the mix on Soundcloud (link in bio).

Doog has a long-standing connection to the North-East electronic music scene through DeathBeforeDisco. His sets explore slower, psychedelic and leftfield electronic music, drawing on house, balearic, acid, electro and experimental sounds.

Some words from Doog:

After several major surgeries and breaking multiple bones, I spent years dealing with the physical and mental challenges of recovery. Music became a huge part of that journey - a way to escape, process emotions and find some sense of calm when things were difficult.

This mix reflects that journey: tension, darkness, reflection, release and ultimately hope. I’d also like to credit my Slo Motion partner Rich Britton in this mix as he helped with the track selection having recently experienced the loss of his father.

Music isn’t just entertainment. Sometimes it can express things that words can’t. I hope this mix helps those who finds themselves in a times of struggle.

SU&D (and MFW) 🧡

📍 To The Moon

Join us for our first birthday party as we celebrate a pretty amazing year with a night of good music, good people and all the love that brings us together.

What started as a night to mark five years since our dance floor brother Stuart tragically took his own life has grown into a small but important community, united by a love of music and a desire to support one another.

Along the way, we’ve raised almost £4,000 for Talk Club , helping them continue their incredible work getting men talking and improving their mental fitness with the ultimate aim of preventing su***de (if you or someone you know is struggling, please check them out).

We’re proud of what we’ve built, grateful to everyone who’s been part of it, and excited to celebrate with you.

Entry by donation on the night, or go to Headfirst - link in bio.

See you on the dance floor 🧡

We have just short of 10,000 listens and have raised hundreds of £s for Talk Club - thank you so much for being part of this journey.

Next up (Friday) we have SLo Motion with a fantastic chilled mix followed by one of the icons of the balearic and acid house scene having visited the island in 1985 and worked with Paul Oakenfold.

We’re really sorry to hear that our friends at DeRailed - Daytime House Music have had to cancel their event due to unforeseen circumstances. We know how much work goes into putting on an event, and that lots of people were looking forward to it (we sure were), so we’re gutted for them.

The good news is that Derailed head honcho, DJ Danny Toft, will be joining us for our first birthday party on 14 November at To The Moon (5pm-12midnight).

We’ll be sharing the full line-up soon, and it’s looking good.

Get your dancing shoes at the ready – we’ve got a whole year of Speak Up & Dance to celebrate.

See you on the dance floor 🧡

There are several components that make one of our nights work, the DJs who give their time free of charge bring a crucial one.

Without their generosity we’d not be getting feet on the dance floor to bring it to life. We’d not be raising awareness and funds for men’s mental health and creating a community that supports and gives people a sense of belonging.

This is the power of people.
This is the power of music.

Thank you to the DJs!

We’re just finalising our line up for our first birthday party on 14 November (5-12) and will be sharing this with you soon.

See you on the dance floor SOON 🧡

To The Moon, Bristol

We can hardly believe it was this time last year that we took the plunge and decided to hold our first night, testing the water on so many levels.

Fast-forward a busy year of holding our own nights, taking over decks and dance floors, joining other events as guests, and appearing on radio shows and podcasts, and we’re now planning our first birthday party.

It’s been quite a ride, and we’re ready to celebrate.

We hope you’ll join us.

As soon as we have more details, we’ll share them with you.

SU&D🧡
