By luring the likes of Pilooski, Toby Tobias and Retro/Grade to deepest darkest Dalston, the Disco Bloodbath gang have built by word-of-mouth their monthly fixture which has helped to shape the phenomenal global renaissance of disco music within underground club culture. You would be hard pushed these days to find a club which does not have some kind of disco tinged offering on at least one night of the week. This is true not only in London, but in Sydney, Barcelona and now thanks to We Love, Ibiza too. However, it’s well known that the Bloodbath crew are responsible for bringing disco back from it’s trainspotter status to the hip, young and gender bending hordes of East London.

Expect everything from screaming high-energy bangers to sleazy downtempo morning music, classic New York into Italo and deep, repetitive proto-techno-disco. Things should be as balearic as they come, a speakeasy feel with a tight-knit but large turnout and no grumpy collector types stroking their beards and demanding original French pressings. As Dan describes the party in London, “all of London’s tribes are there; There’s the fashion crowd, music heads, people that mainly go to gay clubs, or indie clubs or minimal clubs, there’s no one tribe that dominates our dance floor. I think a lot of people are fed up of what “club music” has turned into … the music policy does it’s own job of filtering out that dickhead element.”

As the flyer says, Disco Bloodbath will be taking over our neat little back room El Salon on the 20th of June alongside the likes of Hercules & Love Affair and the 11th of July, also appearing on that day are Hot Chip and The Juan MacClean. The Bloodbath lads have kindly provided us with a mix described by a wise man thus, “Gay vampire disco for the blood sucking hordes!” … download it here.
