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.
