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

Prepare to get schooled by one of the biggest legends in the game: DJ Nature aka DJ Milo of Bristol's era-defining Wild Bunch posse. Decades on, his selections remain as soulful as ever… gliding through bass-soaked deep house, punk, hip-hop, jazz, dub and beyond. No nostalgia trip here, just the real deal from someone who helped write the rulebook! DJ Nature at The Love Inn.

Proper community happenings in the beating dub heart of St Pauls! Powered by the almighty Mexico-via-Italy Bass Revelation rig; this is set to be an epic session deploying HQ digi-dub pressure, technoid steppas and enough low-end vibrations to shake both the mind and the spine. Rising Yard at Kuumba Centre.

Rob Smith has been etched into Bristol’s musical lore for as long as we can remember. From Smith & Mighty to RSD, that Pretty Bright Light percy was the soundtrack of the golden-era dubstep days. Trust Exercises are cramming a giant into the Cider Box, with Timedance’s Bruce dishing out his dubwise crud alongside Amaia’s wall-shaking deep digs on wax. Absolutely ’uuuge! Trust Exercises Presents: RSD / Bruce / Amaia / Dom Carlo + Axle / Kutchi at The Cider Box Tap Room.

Dressed in Street Fighter fatigues cos he’s gonna kick your asssss, the fweaky motherfucka himself Dr. Freakenstein waves the Glasshouse flag once again for the cause of intergalactic ghetto-funk. Freakenstein’s basically the love child of DJ Stingray and Egyptian Lover, slaying all no-movers with his mind-melting, X-rated elektro and body-popping technoid squelch. GLASSHOUSE: FREAKENSTEIN & Ellie Anderson at Strange Brew.
