Gui Boratto ain’t half bad either. And now British newcomer Max Cooper is making a steady tilt at this maxed-out-minimal throne. Yep. He’s all like Simba from the Lion King taking down Scar with a drum machine and classical sensibilities.

Another home run. Consequently new school, always pushing the envelope. That bassline on Minertia is killer. All tracks are up in the excellent range. Super release!

Maybe you didn’t think there’s a direct musical line from Curtis Mayfield to Luke Solomon to the Fast Show. But there is.

It’s a French duo called GET PISSED.

They’re regulars at Paris’s legendary and Folie Pigalle, a venue in the red-light district that’s as known for its clientele of tranny prostitutes as it for its completely insane afterparties.

Needless to say, we first found them on the Internet because that’s where that type hangs out. But it’s also where their dancefloor bootlegs of Mr Mayfield, Miles Davis and the Freaks’s classic Washing Machine have been making a funky, soulful racket – and their irreverent attitude has created a select but incredibly loyal following among Parisians sick of thumpingly banging electro.

This will be GET PISSED’s first time playing London.

And to add that little disco touch to the giddiness downstairs, upstairs we’re welcoming special guest Ben Pistor of Dalston superstars DISCO BLOODBATH. Alongside Horse Meat Disco, Bloodbath is the other massively popular night that has straight people dancing to disco and italo again – and Ben will be fresh from playing Snowbombing, the BLOC weekender and getting ready for the Eastern Electrics festival in May…

Every second month it’s a night of non-instructional house, nonchalant techno - and this time round bootlegs, disco, italo, uk funky and dub …

Downstairs…

GET PISSED (BATOFAR / PARIS)
DAN CAT
BIG DADDY
MARK SUN

Upstairs …

BEN PISTOR (DISCO BLOODBATH)
WILL SKILLZ
ROSCO and a special appearance by
BALT AND HIS AMAZING DISCO DANCIN’ SHOES…

Join us for this one. It’s going to be special.

By and large, dance music struggles with music videos. Without the big budgets of the major label-supported rock, hip hop, or pop scenes, most club hits never see a visual representation, and the ones that do often fail to capture the essence of the original song. Almost invariably, dance music videos involve plenty of T&A, and very little TLC...
