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.

Sell out warning! Club der Visionaere BS1 here we come…it’s the return of Uruguay’s vinyl-only myth-maker and dark prince of trip-tastic techno tessellations, percolating acid, cosmic minimal house and star-gazing electro. Mr Lutz is a total bucket list DJ for the leftfield aficionados and chasers of psychedelic club transcendence.
Afterthought: Nicolas Lutz at Strange Brew.
Fafi Abdel Nour’s NYE send-off of spellbinding body music was one for the books. A Dutch underground legend whose radiant disco digs and house bangers have set Europe alight for years, his unmatched energy meets the blissful grooves of Daisy Moon in total victory lap mode after D. Tiffany’s day party roadblock.
Off-Kilter Night w/ Fafi Abdel Nour, Daisy Moon, Amber at Strange Brew.
Free entry D. Tiffany!? This is not a drill! Buckle up for high-energy club hypnotism: D. Tiffany’s sets should come with a G-force warning as she journeys through dance music’s legacy, from house and acid chuggers to breakbeat, heady techno and bassline-heavy trance. Pure day party bliss is a-comin’ with the Planet Euphorique boss in special b2b morphing mode with Off Kilter’s Daisy Moon.
Off-Kilter Day Party w/ D. Tiffany, Daisy Moon, Marie Malarie, Ben Jackson at The Christmas Steps.
