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.

“A true multi-genre selector, his sets explore sounds from across the globe, yet they are deeply rooted in the rhythms and melodies of North Africa and the Middle East—the sonic landscapes of his heritage. Whether weaving together jazz, reggae, rai, disco, or electronic music, his selections tell stories that transcend borders.”

“Grace started out making world changing moves with free party pioneering DiY Soundsystem from the late 80s onwards and DJing as half of Digs & Woosh. They started out playing their shared love of hip hop, funk, post punk, disco & jazz, diverging into the world of ambient with the infamous Serve Chilled show on Nottingham pirate Rave FM and eventually helping to define the deep house sound synonymous with DiY.”

“Expect non-stop house and disco groovers, inspired by the venue's rich history with house music and as a staple of the Bristol underground scene for the past 6 decades. Advance tickets will start at £5 but be quick as they will get more expensive over time, and cost more to purchase on the door. Remember, buying tickets in advance is the best way to support grassroots venues!”
