at the discotheque

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! As per usual, June was such an awesome month that was full of absolutely brilliant releases from a ton of amazing artists - so much so, that similar to May's post, it's having to be split into two parts. On this promotion post, there's new talents, some of the biggest drops of the year so far, and in general - lots of great music to soundtrack your upcoming summer. or while watching the world cup (which, I'd like to say, I haven't been watching!) Without further ado, let's get started! VA - Creux La Nuit: Volume 4 Released on June 26th - the long-awaited fourth major compilation from international filter house collective and record label Creux La Nuit is an absolute spectacle of an album. Featuring eighteen tracks (if you don't include the Oizo-influenced intro produced by the blog's resident Liverpudlian Luv4Loop!) - there's buckets to unpack here, ranging from late 90s sounding club tools, smooth pop,...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a very long time since I last did a post talking about what's been on rotation for me recently - so seeing as it's Saturday (and quite frankly, I'm in the mood to do a bit of blogging!) - I think it's time for the next installment in the 'What I've Been Listening To' series. June was a pretty sweet month for me, and I've been spinning a whole bunch of French house and nu-disco from multiple different eras - so I hope that this post serves you well in looking for new tracks to bump!  Let's get started! Broke One - Go Go Go (2011) Released towards the end of the 'bloghouse' era on iconic label La Valigetta - this cut up filter house jam from Italian producer Broke One - who's since become one of my main musical inspirations, is an absolutely fantastic track. It's a very club-friendly outing which is extremely raw, yet at the same time effortlessly playful and very, very fun -...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a little while since the last post on the blog (wow, I'm saying that far too often these days!) - but seeing as summer is now well and truly upon us (it's a sweltering twenty-six degrees outside as I write this - how I'm not dead or melting in a puddle I find remarkable...) - I now have a whole bunch of time to post, so buckle your damn seat belts, because I have a whole lot to say! This time a year ago, I was up in Scotland with my family on holiday - and if you've been keeping up with the blog for a fairly long time, then you might have noticed that today officially marks one year since I declared that bloghouse - the late 2000s internet movement that came alongside French house's second major wave, the electro house explosion and the indie sleaze aesthetic - should come back, and boy, it sure has! While I'd like to say that in no way was my post on the blog-era the major catalyst for the return of ...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! As I mentioned on Saturday - May was a frankly epic month in terms of releases in French house, future funk, blog-era electro and disco - and it was an incredibly busy couple of weeks - hence why I had to split this post into two parts (as writing about twenty releases in one go would likely kill me, ha!) - either way, today I bring you part two of all of the amazing stuff released last month - so buckle your seat belts - this is going to be a great one! Oran Jusu - Ain't Got Time If you've been reading the blog a ton lately - or just keeping up with the wider future funk scene in general, then you damn well know that Oran Jusu - the Edinburgh-based producer is making some of the most amazing future funk and nu disco jams right now. With his debut album releasing next Friday - Ain't Got Time is the final single from what is looking to be a stunning record. As for the track itself - it's a truly fantastic nu disco outing wi...
