Disco lovers rejoice once more – La Discothèque is returning to Manchester’s Albert Hall on Saturday 10th February for their first event of 2018.
Encompassing disco, house and everything in between, the line up for their first night will not disappoint your dancing needs.
First up is recently announced VERY special guest Purple Disco Machine. The inventor of the Deep Funk sound and one of Beatport’s top-selling artists across ALL genres, Purple Disco Machine is quite simply the producer of the moment. As well as being on the top of his game as a producer, he’s a naturally gifted DJ who seamlessly brings together Disco, Nu Disco, Funk, House and Deep House, to create his own unique style dancefloor-ready music. This will also be his first performance in Manchester in 4 years so expect something special folks!
The originators of French House, Cassius, will also be making an appearance. Credited with inspiring such artists as Madonna, Roger Sanchez and St Germain, Philippe Zdar & Hubert Boombass (aka. Cassius) were the forerunners for French electronic music in the 90s, a period that eventually led to the likes of Justice and Daft Punk achieving international stardom. Their discography includes remixes for legends such as Björk and Depeche Mode to name but a couple. Legends.
Also on the bill is Crazy P. The band’s ‘Soundsystem’ set sees Danielle performing all their biggest hits live, whilst Ron Basejam mixes live. Not a full band show but don’t let that fool you, the pair have enough energy to get a 2000 strong audience dancing from the off! Crazy P.
For most fans of electronic music, Prosumer is a name that needs little introduction. Having held down a residency at the world-famous Panorama Bar for a number of years, the German-born and now Edinburgh-based DJ is a true veteran of his craft. Most importantly however, he’s a self-professed disco lover so expect him to share the gems of his collection on the night!
Studio 54 stalwart Nicky will also bring to Manchester the debut of his Hallelujah Disco complete with live gospel choir! He’ll be churning out the classics as they sing along, belting it out for this high energy club performance. Siano is no stranger to the genre with almost 40 years in the business, a record collection to make your eyes water and a CV that includes co-owning ‘The Gallery’ in NYC and mentor…ing Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles.
Finally, La Discotheque welcomes Manchester’s very own party starters, HomoElectric. Credited for breathing new life into Manchester’s LGBT club scene, be sure to get down early as residents Jamie Bull, Luke Unabomber and Will Tramp! bring a slice of the 0161 to this already star-studded and incredibly international lineup! The boys are in the VIP bell tower with a secret set from the main lineup, while one half of The Unabombers drops in to warm up the Hall.
Rapidly evolving, La Discotheque is now on tour, soaring from Manchester on to Canal Mills, Leeds in March this year with an international residency and festival areas soon to be announced.
Something quite unique to La Discotheque is their “La Pisscotheque” which takes place in the basement loos of the Albert Hall. La Pisscotheque is a shout out to the Manumission days back in 1999, resurrecting the club toilet culture and February’s party will see Danielle Moore of Crazy P headlining and support coming from DJ Paulette. You do not want to miss this!
