Guest is a DJ and producer/edit-maker associated with the London-based CUTS label and its series of limited-edition 7-inch releases. The project focuses on funk, soul, rare groove, disco, boogie and two-step, with records made specifically for DJs and dancers. Guest's Bandcamp describes the music as “precious gems mined from a wall of vinyl” that are cut, polished and reworked for the dancefloor.
Guest's Mini Edits series began appearing on the CUTS label in the early 2020s. Mini Edits No. 2 included “Central Timing” and “Jozefina”, while subsequent releases have continued the same vinyl-focused approach. The series is notable for presenting tracks that had not previously been available on 45, with Guest extending breaks, adding DJ-friendly intros and outros, and modifying sections to make the records more practical for mixing and dancing.
Guest Mini-Edits No. 7, released in 2026, features “Passion Play” and “Native Son”. The release notes describe the A-side as a rare groove/two-step track reworked for 45, with the original recording's high-end cleaned up and additional breaks added. The B-side comes from the late-1980s/early-1990s New York mixtape tradition and was given an extended mixable introduction and open sections.
The following Mini-Edits No. 8 continues the series with “You Did It Good (Guest Edit)” and “Magic Dance (Guest Edit)”. Released in May 2026, it was again issued as a vinyl-only 7-inch, with Guest describing the edits in terms of their use on the dancefloor.
Guest's catalogue is therefore centred firmly on the modern 7-inch edit culture: digging out overlooked funk, soul, disco and rare-groove recordings and reshaping them with extended breaks, introductions and other changes designed for DJs, dancers and collectors. The available published material identifies the project as GUEST / CUTS, London, UK, but does not provide enough reliable biographical information to establish Guest's real name or personal history.
