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.

“Manchester selector BollieBubbles moves through house music like it’s a costume rail. Chicago swing, Italo gloss, disco sweat and afro-house rhythm stitched into sets that feel flirtatious, nostalgic and slightly feral.”

“-VIX- A key force behind Disconnected since its launch in 2022, VIX has evolved from high-energy disco into deeper, more textured house selections. Blending techy, percussive elements with sustained energy, the curator of the night steps up to close the show in true Disconnected fashion.”

“Magnetic Live presents a showcase of the gems of disco, rare groove, and house, Kirollus, who’s sets have become notorious with crate-diggers and hip-shakers alike. His eclectic all vinyl sets are deeply rooted in soul and groove, nurtured during his 8 years tenure behind the counter at Uptight Records in Hove, and an obsession with uncovering music from decades gone by. During this time, Kirollus has developed an enviable collection and ear for music which far surpasses his years, and has managed to gain the appeal of a wide demographic whilst staying true to himself both musically and in his personal convictions.”

“Maurice went on to become highly prolific in his production work releasing tracks on various labels through the 90’s including Nuphonic and Warp in the UK. Often linked to contemporaries like Carl Craig, Derrick May and Frankie Knuckles, his textured sounds and complexity of production astounded many and grew him a loyal fan base. Some called it weird house others arty disco, his left of centre productions was always on the money.”
