Dutty Moonshine

Dutty Moonshine

Dutty Moonshine is a UK electro swing and electronic act created by Michael Rack and Alex Furley. Their music combines 1930s big band and swing influences with modern basslines and heavy beats, drawing on jazz, swing, hip-hop, breaks and jungle, as well as a strong interest in vaudeville performance.

Background and style

The duo forms around the contrast between older dance music and contemporary club production. Their sound is described as pairing big-band and gypsy swing elements with bass-driven electronic rhythms. The project grows from the members’ years of experience across several genres, and from their shared interest in theatrical, vintage-inspired performance.

Live activity

Dutty Moonshine has performed in various parts of Europe and in major UK clubs. The act also appears at large festivals, including Glastonbury, Bestival and Secret Garden Party. Their live reputation is closely tied to festival and club sets, with performances designed around energetic crowd response.

Other details

Michael Rack and Alex Furley remain the core members of the project. The duo has also been associated with touring plans in the United States and with regular appearances across Europe, reflecting an international live focus.
