Cosmic Boogie started out three years ago as a collective home for a few like minded DJ’s to get together and play dance music to those that wanted to listen, ably backed by scene leader and contributor Greg Wilson. Based in Liverpool but with hooks into other parts of north west UK, it has now grown into much more than originally intended. Cosmic Boogie is now a record label in its own right, a DJ / production alias for Stu Robinson, and a banner to learn and understand all the different shapes of disco, funk, soul, electro and boogie, be they old or new.

Stu (Cosmic Boogie) has been playing with sound for around ten years now, everything from early house to drum and bass, and then back to disco, soul and funk. This is born from a passion for music that was pretty insatiable, and a thirst for knowledge of the origins of many of the samples, loops and rhythms that make electronic music what it is today.

He has played alongside the likes of Theo Parrish, Ashley Beedle, Trus'me, Chris Duckenfield, Greg Wilson and Optimo, helping run the successful archive night in Liverpool. Musical Influences range from Talking Heads to Roni Size, Roy Ayers to Emperor Machine, The Undisputed Truth to Leftfield, and DJ influences from such legends as Ron Hardy, Chicken Lips, James Murphy, Larry Levan, Marcus Intalex and Gilles Peterson to name but a few.

In 2009, the first Cosmic Boogie edits were released and the Cosmic Boogie record label was launched. The imprint is also set to feature edits from Ashley Beedle and Greg Wilson amongst others. The first release picked up DJ play from Laurent Garnier, Ashley Beedle, Chris Duckenfield, Richard Sen, The Revenge, Dicky Trisco and Optimo amongst others, and only bodes well for future funk tinged releases. The second release on the Cosmic Boogie label will be from scene legend Ashley Beedle, so Cosmic Boogie is moving from strength to strength.

Stu can be found mixing and writing for his blog Cosmic Boogie, on web radio, guesting in fancy and not so fancy nightclubs, and maybe, just maybe...on a few of edits in your record collection.
