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.

Flying the flag for proper dubstep these last 13 years, Foundation Audio are the Bristol DMZ heads’ go-to brand for unstoppable dread pressure. Flying in for the big buffday: pirate radio royalty N-Type, DJ Chefal and Youngsta will be giving the younguns an absolute schooling in golden eara dubs, testing RC1’s rumble pack to the absolute max. Hoods up heads down bassweight as it should be! Foundation Audio Powered by RC1 at Green Works.

Free entry (before 9:30)! So Carnival’s not not (not?) happening this year… at least one thing we’ll know for sure, there’ll be some St Paul’s heritage dubwise at The Canteen from Bristol’s Roots Ambassadors. Chewing Glass rig up the place with Ras Kama at the controls and Aqua Levi chanting down the mic as always. Unstoppable! Carnival Afterparty CGC Sound System Presents: NEGUS MELODY at The Canteen.

Resting on their much-deserved laurels after Marcellus Pittman tore some serious holes in Brewstory, Deep Street dial in a residents session with unstoppable b2b duo Jay L & Andy Mac exploring the sunshine dimensions of clublandia. Expect hard-dug cuts of soulful house, jazzed-out techno, string-laden diva disco and everything in between. Deep Street Summer Jam w/ Jay L & Andy Mac b2b all night at Strange Brew.

Sell out warning! He’d hate us for this, but Vlad is this generation’s definitive DJ’s DJ (RIP Andrew Weatherall). Conjuring dark, hypnotic and psychedelic journeys of pan-genre, wrong-BPM eclecticism with two decks and a mixer... you just gotta witness this master at work! Blanco’s pulling power is infinite here: you’re damn lucky to see the grand Salon wizard crammed into such a likkle room. Club Blanco w/ Vladimir Ivkovic & Chez de Milo at The Love Inn.
