at the discotheque

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 ...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a super long time since a post on the blog (You can blame my first year of A-Level exams, other creative projects and life in general for that one, sorry!) - but to make it up to you, I thought I'd get someone super special back in the hot seat for the first interview of the summer! Today, we have Opierm - the founder of legendary filter house label Creux La Nuit and a coveted producer in his own right back in the virtual hot seat. Since I last caught up with him back in April 2025 - a lot of stuff has changed, so I knew I had to get him back on the blog so he could share some sweet stuff with you fellow readers! Without further ado, let's get to it! For those who don’t know you, or are new to the blog – who are you, where are you from and what music do you make? Hello! My name is Patrick - I’m known as Opierm. I’m from Montevideo, Uruguay and I usually make French House, Lofi House and Electro sometimes. Welcome ba...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! Spring is now well and truly upon us - and alongside that, over the last fortnight there's been a huge number of killer releases from some of the blog's biggest talents - alongside a whole bunch of other great stuff - and if this is anything to go by, this summer is looking to be even more packed than last year - so buckle your seat-belts, because this is going to be a huge, huge post! Without further ado - let's get started! Oran Jusu - Let You Down Released everywhere on Friday - the brand new single from the blog's resident Scotsman Oran Jusu is absolutely brilliant, and in my humble opinion - it's his best track to date. While he's mostly known in the scene for his bright, quirky future funk productions, this song takes a slightly different approach - rather, this is a shimmering piece of late night nu-disco built for those upcoming summer days with lots of groove, a plethora of original instrumentation which f...
