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.

Our recent disco recommendations

Timedance darlings Bruce and Ploy are back for their third all-night b2b, bringing feel-good house and techno straight to the dancefloor. Ploy delivers dense, chest-rattling grooves while Bruce spins his signature oddball magic. Get ready for pure vibes from two pals just playing what they love, house-party stylee! Fly Life w Bruce + Ploy at Strange Brew.

Teetotal day party going out to all the dedicated (sober) ravers! Local p-funk journeymen Stone Cold Hustle ease you into this Sunday knees-up before Anything But Becky floors you with dubstep and percussive bass swag + Aries brings you up again with his 30-year matured ragga jungle rinse-outs. Dry = / = juiceless baby! Bristol Sober Spaces X Trinity Day Party Featuring Aries at The Trinity Centre.

Sell out warning! Club Blanco and Talabot enter their third wormhole together, hands-locked in a ritual act of freefall club psychedelia. The Barca GOAT’s an instacop for most, but Chez’s turning up the heat, hell he’s breaking the oven, with Reptant’s live set of cerebral electro mysticism + a new and necessary room 2 excursion into the deepest chill-out zones. The most Blanco thing since Blanco began? Club Blanco w/ John Talabot, Reptant + more at Strange Brew.

Free entry (before 9:30pm)! The grind/metal-friendly sound system we always dreamed of squeezes into the Canteen for a sub-rowdy session with Kahn & Neek’s dread pressure Gorgon Sound project. BIG in all senses. GORGON SOUND//CGC Snd Systm, Stokes Croft Sub Sessions at The Canteen.

“Into every generation, a Slayer is born… This Halloween, it’s BENDy. Grab your stakes and sharpen your fangs as BENDy the Vampire Slayer sinks its teeth into The Cider Box for a night of killer pop, disco and dancefloor bangers. This Halloween we’re going back to our roots with one room, one dancefloor and limited tickets. Expect a packed dancefloor, killer tunes and a night to die for. Fancy dress strongly encouraged (Buffy, vampires, demons, Scoobies… we want to see it!) Last entry: Midnight (licence condition) The hardest thing in this world… is to dance in it. See you on the dancefloor.”
