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.

Our recent disco recommendations

Sell out warning! Hauff Force One docks in Sawmills, going full CDJ orchestra with Timedance don Batu for the biggest En Masse since records began. 'Tis an uncompromising, nigh historical union of club wreckage with Verraco's TraTraTrax raptor-damaged-techno, Barker's weightless living soundworlds + more TBA. Out of body experiences likely (but not guaranteed)... En Masse x Sawmills - Helena Hauff b2b Batu + more at Sawmills.

Sell out warning! Chain mail at the ready! The medievalcore LARPing agenda marches upon Loco Klub once again for tankard-clanking revelry in The Great Hall and Dungeon. Bardcore, archaic donk, Celtic techno, jungle and jigs galore alongside theatrical immersion, fortune-telling mischievous puppetry and jester japes. Knights Out 3 at Loco Klub.

Sell out warning! Rupture celebrates TWENTY (!!) years of nu-skool magik in the halls of Trinity for a proper junglist dnb blowout - only they can do it like this! Kicking off with a Double O live scored theatrical treat, before taking to the 'floor with Sully’s twisted sci-fi tekkers, Loxy’s darkside dread & MUCH MOREEE. You just know this is gonna lift the roof off ... 20 Years of Rupture at The Trinity Centre.

Ok ok ok ok. DJ Marcelle is punk in her own odd way: bonkers turntablism ft. wonky dubstep, percussive scraps, tractor sounds, goat noises and a whole lotta distortion. She arrives in timely fashion for Ceramic boiz Copper Sounds’ new release party with mega support from Sarahsson and k means’ ultra-spun-out club excursions. Deranged club fulfillment … cripes! DJ Marcelle, Copper Sounds, k means, Sarahsson at The Island.

“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'.”

“LADYMONIX’s musical journey, which began in Baltimore, is deeply informed by the history of house music - shaped by the jacking sounds of Baltimore club and soulful house classics, alongside the grooves of disco and '90s pop that filled her parents' lavish basement parties. ”

“Back in 2006, Daddy G invited Queen Bee & Mr Benn to join him as residents at his newly opened Tube micro-club in Bristol. The remit was simple - rock the spot with a mash up of top deck reggae, dancehall, hip hop, funk, disco, house, jungle, beats and pieces and whatever else kept it live. ”
