at the discotheque

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...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a very long time since the last promotion post on the blog (once again, sorry!) - however, since I've been out of the game, there has been so, so many incredible releases from some of the biggest talents over this month - so much so, that this post is going to have to be split into two parts - which is a first for ATD! So, without further ado - let's get straight into part one - and take a look at all of the amazing things that have released in May! The Young MC - Come Along With Me A few weeks back, fans of Russian filter house label Flowerside were treated to this brand new single from a mysterious artist known as "The Young MC" - who delivered a killer, late 90s sounding DJ tool which is extremely funky, warm and uplifting. To me, this track is absolutely magnificent, and if I had to describe it - it feels like a very welcome hybrid between the styles of Patrick Alavi, System Works and the early work of ...
