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.

A cross breed between an immersive art exhibition, a club night, a sports day and a cheesy school disco - this will simply be a ridiculous and unmissable evening out. In standard Jumbo style you will be provided with the craziest decor possible, but the rest goes as followed:”
