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.

“You're invited to our annual NYE House Party. Make yourself comfortable, as we transform the Taproom into a thumping house-party, with professional audio, lighting, and immersive décor. Get stuck into high-quality funk, soul, disco and house in the 'living room' with the highly respected Red Rack'em heading up the bill, or for the Jona Lewie's among us, grab a cocktail and a chinwag in the 'kitchen'.”

“The Bristol x Berlin link up takes another step forward as Tam Tam (PDA, Berlin) returns to the Zoggs basement again for a night of disco sleaze, jackin' acid, and scuzzy punk. Co-founder of the Public Display of Affection party located in a cosy Berlin squat, Tam Tam is responsible for some of the most hedonistic and wild parties in the city since the fall of the legendary Greissmuehle.”
