Bristolian DJ posse, Futureboogie are back in town for a reappearance at our havin’ it little discotheque. Joe 90, Steve Bongo and disco pirate Dave Harvey are taking a break from their award winning radio show, programming the dance acts at some major league festivals and running their booking agency, to resume record selector and shindig duties here in Mancunia.
After a most triumphant El Diablos debut last summer that pulled down the pants of mediocrity and blasted the roof off the dancehall, the chaps were an almost ever present name on the listings of the festival circuit and this year has seen them capitalise on their popularity to become one of the most in demand acts on the disco/house circuit right now. A dedication to rave rumpus and a party hard spirit that transcends the dancefloor via the speakers, Futureboogie are synonymous with rump shaking, shape throwing, liquor downing, riotous good times, nationwide and beyond. It’s the start of the summer, so who better than disco’s barmy army to light the fuse ? It’s the El Diablo’s Social Club proper before we take a two month holiday (substitutes are lined up) to fulfil DJ commitments abroad, so let’s not mess about. A massive Disco and House romp, all night long babez. Last one in’s a fridge.
Holy Fwok ! We’re seven years old this month. SEVEN! Well I never. Seven years of getting fully involved and meaning it. Seven years of basements and barges, glitterballs and gurners, dancefloors and dankfloors. Still ready, still on it. Here’s to seven more fools. Don’t let up.
And the man we’ve enlisted to bring the party is Stevie Kotey. Like a Captain of modern Disco, Stevie is a leader of the scene in the truest sense. He brought the colossal talents of people Prins Thomas & Lindstrom, Windsurf, Fabrizio Mammarella, Lexx, Mudd, Blackbelt Andersen, Todd Terje, Brennan Green and DJ Kent to many people’s consciousness for the first time via his Big Bear, Bear Funk and Full Pupp labels. Compiler of the belting Disco Italia collection and a DJ Kicks mix, Stevie is an almost omnipresent remixer and producer as well as pushing the scene forward as a label owner. Oh yes, he’s also in Chicken Lips too by the way, yup.
It’s an immense privilege to welcome Stevie to Diablos for his debut, his DJ skills and musical influence we hold in the highest regard, as will you once he’s mauled the dancefloor Big Bear style.
Manchester’s Detroit Public Radio broadcaster and ‘progressive disco’ band Johnsports member – Ste Spandex brings us an effin crazy mix in a Hi-NRG disco mix with added effects (7-band EQ).

Disco Deviance is the ten ton bomb of an edits label from Dicky Trisco that’s providing a platform for new assaults on discoid past by production geniuses such as Greg Wilson, Reverso 68, Andrew Allsgood, Ashley Beedle and the ace Social Disco Club. Alongside Mindless Boogie, here we have a label opening up the doors of disco and the eclectic to an audience that may never have discovered such dancefloor treasures any other way, whilst presenting the track in an alien form to it’s original incarnation.
Dicky Trisco will be delivering a sermon in the ethos of his label, if it’s good and you can dance to it ; play it and meld it together. Balearic in approach, a sound that cannot and should not be defined. It’s music to dance to and it’s from all over the shop. Nothing snazzier than that. Get me yo?. Disco, Electro-Funk, House, Boogie…it don’t matter, just get down and dance the night away, hey.
Returning to the bill once again, Cosmic Boogie is providing support on vibes, sounds and bar takings. He’s put his own edits out on Disco Deviance and runs his own label that has featured output from Wilson & Beedle too as well as the legendary Ian Dewhirst. Next up is the debut release from hotly tipped rookie, our very own Neil Diablo. This will be a weighty drop, believe you me.
