It’s been four years since we launched, spinning the finest Disco tracks! After a wee disco nap, we’re pleased to announce that we have moved into our spiritual home . . . La Belle Angele.

The Butta Bag DJ Collective: Cunnie, Jamie Spectrum, DJ Babes & DJ Molecular will be spinning a playlist of: organic, synthetic, old and nu disco classics!

Bam!Bam!Bam! presents

At the 2016 CMA Awards one sound burst from the stage like a thunderquake. Beyoncé performed “Daddy Lessons” accompanied by Dixie Chicks and TOO MANY ZOOZ – the New York City trio which originally recorded the song on the star’s Lemonade album—the trio bringing the sound of the street to Beyoncé’s glittering musical declaration. Glued to their smart phones, tablets, and TVs, America beheld Too Many Zooz’ innovative polyglot style.

Beyoncé and Dixie Chicks sashayed the song’s verses in a rollicking country vibe, but as the performance neared midpoint, a tall, burly baritone saxophonist with a luminous white pompadour took the stage like a bar-walking gladiator. TMZ’s Leo Pellegrino danced, shimmied, and shaked, matching Beyoncé move for move, while blowing growling saxophone notes that brought urban funk to “Daddy Lessons”’ two-beat country jig. TMZ trumpeter Matt Doe and drummer King of Sludge performed on the stage’s backline as a blaring multiple horn line raised “Daddy Lessons”’ intensity, followed by Beyoncé and Dixie Chicks focusing on the song’s political theme with sledgehammer intent.

Too Many Zooz’s baritone saxophonist Pellegrino, trumpeter Matt Doe, and drummer King of Sludge held Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena stage for mere minutes, but the same talent that moved Beyoncé to have the group record both “Daddy Lessons” and “Formation” on Lemonade has seen the trio sell thousands of CDs and downloads, and inspired viral videos liked by hundreds of thousands of Too Many Zooz’s fans, worldwide.

Too Many Zooz’s manic music, dubbed “BrassHouse” by drummer King of Sludge, is an irresistible rocket that combines styles more far-flung than any international space station. As heard on the group’s EPs, F NOTE, Fanimals, Brasshouse Volume 1: Survival of the Flyest, The Internet, and LP, Subway Gawdz, Too Many Zooz creates a visceral vocal-free smack-to-the-senses. TMZ’s Brasshouse summons EDM, house, techno, and glitch, paired to the indigenous punch of Cuban, Afro-Cuban, Caribbean, and Brazilian Carnival rhythms, heightened by the dancing and saxophone soloing prowess of a bionic Pepper Adams. Like Nortec Collective mashed with Daft Punk by way of a mad sonic scientist, Too Many Zooz has conquered New York City – your headset’s resistance is futile.

We start again with another big thanks to all of you Groovers for bringing an incredible vibe to every party. Without fail, night after night the buzz gets better and better. Its great to see so much love for the music!

To celebrate we’ve invited down one of our favourite groovers – Simone Liberali to La Belle Angèle.

Simone is a fresh young Italian DJ, who is receiving huge amounts of international recognition with his own music; played by the likes of Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Steve Lawler, Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, Hot Since 82, Nicole Moudaber, Joseph Capriati, Karotte, Joris Voorn and much more!

His sets are renown for being full of incredibly energetic, warmly percussive & bassline driven Grooves, leading to him being booked to play in some of the best clubs in Europe, USA & South America.

His track “Can’t You See” reached the #2 position on the Beatport Tech House chart and the #3 position on All Genres of the world becoming the most played track at Bpm Festival 2017.

Much of his music has inspired the sound that Groovers has today, so as you can imagine we’re very excited to have him down.

Support from Sesentayuno (Jak-Daw Records, CRAFT Underground, 18-09 Records, Art Nouveau Records)

Abstrakt Edinburgh: Line-Up Announcement
After deciding to drop Jeremy Underground to headline Friday’s party, we have managed to secure a very special replacement…

Theo Kottis

For the first time ever, Edinburgh’s favourite son will play a very special, extended b2b set with legendary Glasgow DJ, Domenic Cappello. In support, we have also added one of Scotland’s fastest rising talents in Kieran Apter.

Theo Kottis b2b Domenic Cappello (00:30 – 04:00)
Kieran Apter (23:00 – 00:30)

After standing up to the bullies and exposing what is a massive problem within our scene, we now have a line up featuring some of the best DJs in the country – who all want to play our party for the right reasons!

Tickets for this event have been reduced to just £6 in advance and, since it does not feel right to financially profit from the ‘Saunagate’ publicity, all profits exceeding the money already lost through cancelling the booking will now be donated to helping the homeless, through Shelter… because not everyone can afford to turn their noses up at 4* spa hotels.

Get tickets now and show your support for one hell of a cause and one hell of a party, this Friday night at La Belle Angele. Be quick, we have a feeling this one’s gonna be popular;

PS – we’d like to thank Jeremy Underground for offering to “refund anything the promoter has paid from (his) own pocket”. Once these funds are received, we’ll also be putting these into the pot towards a really good cause.
