Disco in Bristol

Bristol's Disco Scene

Everyone knows that it took more than a couple of Bashmore’s finest to propel house music into Bristol’s spotlight - this has been bubbling away for years. Part of the secret to house music’s swift ascent has been a shoulder-to-shoulder relationship with disco. With house djs for Idle Hands, Futureboogie and Brstl all peppering their sets with unheard disco material, a catalyst was in place to add the euphoria and sunshine that turns club nights into parties. Epitomised by Alfresco Disco and Dirty Talk, the bond between house music and disco is now stronger than ever.

Sell out warning! The Paradisco crew are back to prove once again that disco is most definitely alive and kicking in the year of our lord 2026. This time they’re enlisting Electric Chair boss + Mancunian legend Luke Una for a reality-expanding deep dive into gospel house, euphoric funk, breezy balearic and slinky dancefloor curveballs. Globetrotting boogie selections from the one and only Luke Una

Club Love serves another steamy dose of sex positivity and subterranean hedonism! Dust off your latex and dress to impress, honeys: Manchester’s Bollie Bubbles is serving pure vocal house decadence and techno sleaze alongside RED’s infectious, hi-NRG dance-pop. Dress code and membership/guest rules apply, so save the trackies and trainers for Sunday morning. Rebellion Ft Seduction

Get Weird sure like a well-brewed cuppa bass with plenty of MCs in the mix. Shaking up the tea leaves: Alpengeist and Neffa-T sparring partner Zukki with their punishing sino-grime chops, JPEG’s patented brand of fierce electoid-techstep and bruk-out breaks, Doctor Watts’ bootified Detroit electro and Duality’s heavyweight jungle slammers. Laaaaaaaaaarge. Get Weird and Blxck Anto link up for some birthday celebrations...

Sell out warning! The understated god of weirdo funk – Maurice Fulton treads experimental ground with genuine soul, dancing to his own beat of post-disco cosmic house realness.

“Coren is a queer DJ known for their irresistible energy and commitment to the colour orange. Their dance floors are a place to release your struggles, remember why you’re alive, and connect through joy and sweat. Come as you are, bring your rage, bring your tears, and shake a$$ til you’re out of your head and into your body. Their obsession with all flavours of dance is infectious. They fuse playful, groovy and euphoric sounds from funky, afro and tech house, bass, breakbeat, garage, nu-disco and more.”
