at the discotheque

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's been a hot minute since the last post - and to make up for that, today's post is extremely special - as we get to hear from one of future funk's most respected producers - Cape Coral. Known for blending high energy, punchy post disco, slamming beats and hip hop - and with releases on Business Casual, Future Society and Club Coral - over the last decade, he's become one of the most iconic (and brilliant) producers with an extremely distinct style. Alongside this - he's a talented graffiti artist too! Without further ado - I'll let the man himself do the talking! For those who don’t know you yet, who are you and what kind of music do you make? Hi, my name is CAPE CORAL. I’m a future funk producer—no longer very young, at least on paper, but with the same enthusiasm I had when I started. My music is rooted in sampling and in a deep love for funk, disco, and everything that carries groove, soul, and personality. I...

What's up everyone - welcome back at the discotheque. Usually, I always do promotion posts at the end of a week - but seeing as it's Friday (and there's been a ton of amazing stuff that's happened to kick off December) - I feel like a new post is totally needed - so get ready for some dope stuff, readers! Let's get started! DJ Supernick - Groovin' Games On December 4th, Texas based filter house producer and bloghouse aficionado DJ Supernick released his debut album through legendary collective Creux La Nuit. Made over a matter of months throughout 2025 - this album is truly incredible. It's a wild, slightly crazy ride through all kinds of things - jazz, nu disco, at times, lo-fi hip hop (yes, I'm being completely serious here!) and of course, that sweet, sweet funky French goodness that we've become accustomed to. There's so much stuff to unpack in this album - it's consistently funky, at times extremely strange (take Jazzing At Night for exa...

Hey everyone - welcome back at the discotheque! It's now December - and to end out this incredible year, I thought I'd introduce a new type of post that I plan to be doing more often called The Artist Lowdown - in which I break down an iconic artist (or group) and their work in French house, future funk or nu disco. For today's first pick, I'm going to be focusing on legendary blog-era disco aficionados Vanguard, who, across their four years together producing music, made a huge impact on the disco influenced house scene and became one of the underground acts that defined a generation. Let's get started! WHO ARE THEY? Vanguard were a Welsh duo consisting of James Thomas and Tom Morgan (now respectively known as dJJ and Tomos!) that formed in September 2008 and disbanded in December 2012. They produced music inspired by the early French touch scene - being inspired by Modjo, Room 5, Le Knight Club and of course, Daft Punk - and also the newer acts of the time - such ...
