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.

What our editors say

“Coren is a queer DJ known for their irresistible energy and commitment to the colour orange. Their dance floors are a place to release your struggles, remember why you’re alive, and connect through joy and sweat. Come as you are, bring your rage, bring your tears, and shake a$$ til you’re out of your head and into your body. Their obsession with all flavours of dance is infectious. They fuse playful, groovy and euphoric sounds from funky, afro and tech house, bass, breakbeat, garage, nu-disco and more.”

“Manchester selector BollieBubbles moves through house music like it’s a costume rail. Chicago swing, Italo gloss, disco sweat and afro-house rhythm stitched into sets that feel flirtatious, nostalgic and slightly feral.”

“-VIX- A key force behind Disconnected since its launch in 2022, VIX has evolved from high-energy disco into deeper, more textured house selections. Blending techy, percussive elements with sustained energy, the curator of the night steps up to close the show in true Disconnected fashion.”
