Queen & Disco ¦ Podcast 018 - A Digital Needle

Dylan-Thomas and John McLeod are A Digital Needle, purveyors of disco, house, jazz-funk, Latin & the Afro-Caribbean sounds.

They first met in ’96 but only started playing together in 2008 with a strict music policy of straight up 60’s bangers under the pseudonym 'The In Crowd'. As the gigs flowed, the buzz waned and the music policy was expanded to a more all encompassing approach spanning across the decades. So long as it had Soul, it was in the bag. A search for a home in the music scene was over when they first encountered Disco in all its glory at Montreal’s Love Disco Style Party. Disco soon became an obsession and the duo turned their hands to the studio in order to craft their newly discovered love in a way that ensured it’s place on the dance floor.

Dylan-Thomas and John keep themselves busy with a monthly disco party dubbed ‘Beam Me Up’ in their local Toronto. Away from their bookings, mixes, and productions, this really provides a chance for the boys to flex their creative muscles, not only in sound, but total end-user experience.

To cut to the chase, we love what the boys do, in everything that they do. So it’s our pleasure to bring you A Digital Needle.
