Disco in Bristol
— 72 upcoming clubnightsBristol'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.

WHAT OUR EDITORS SAY
You have been invited to a hidden rooftop NYE party in the heart of Bristols Old City. This years Blind Tiger party will be taking inspiration from Studio 54, one of the best-known nightclubs in the world, formative for its role in the growth of disco music. Come and celebrate the arrival of 2022 in the true Blind Tiger fashion! This years party will feature Live DJs, Cocktails, Canapés and the Blind Tiger Casino will be returning bigger and better than before.
18+ event. For Fans Of: Sink Ya Teeth, LoneLady, Ladytron, A Certain Ratio. Her image as one half of Norwich queens of post-punk dark disco Sink Ya Teeth belies Gemma Cullingford’s naturally introverted nature. In 2021 she produced her debut album Let Me Speak with tracks that are often deeply personal and give an insight into the world seen through the eyes of this most self effacing of musicians.
If debut album Let Me Speak was about finding herself as a person and songwriter, Gemma explains that Tongue Tied is “perhaps the fruits of that voyage of discovery…” , and the collection certainly seems to explore a vast soundscape. Maintaining Gemma’s trademark dark, danceable beats and glitchy hooks, Tongue Tied offers perhaps a more melodic sound and introspective insight than its predecessor; with each track reflecting on a different emotion.
After a short hiatus, one of South Wales' finest prospects is back in a big way and with a new sound, Celly takes on a journey through a timeline of disco and groove, expect strings, synths and style from the now Bristol based DJ/Producer.
Goodbye Boogie Dance is a London born DJ with a passion for Disco, House and anything that will get the floor grooving. He is a resident and co-founder of ‘West Collective’ and is known for his love of digging and spinning records. Expect a deep selection of tunes ranging from late night paradise disco to hypnotic lovers rock to pumping New York house and techno.
