English Disco Lovers Vs Reach Up

About

Legendary Brighton party starters English Disco Lovers are thrilled to welcome the Reach Up Disco Wonderland crew to Komedia for their first Brighton gig on Easter Saturday April 8th 2023
Andy Smith (ex-Portishead DJ, compiler of the awesome Document and Reach Up compilations) and Nick Halkes (XL Recordings co-founder, producer & remixer) will be joining Disco Lovers' resident Sam Moffett at Komedia for a multi-deck vinyl and digital DJ session on the first holiday Saturday of the year.
Andy & Nick drop 80s disco, boogie and proto house, evoking the spirit of legendary NYC clubs such as Paradise Garage and Studio 54. They’ll dip into the rich soundtrack that emerged as the 70’s turned into the 80’s, forming the DNA of today’s club music and mesh the set with the freshest productions, remixes and re-edits.
As schooldays best friends Andy and Nick ran a mobile disco together and hunted for bargain 12 inch vinyl in their childhood home town of Portishead near Bristol. At this point they had no idea that Andy would supply beats and tour the world with Portishead before becoming voted one of the top 100 DJs in the world nor that Nick would go on to set up the XL and Positiva record labels, becoming one of the UK’s most respected dance and electronic music industry executives.   
This will be a multi-media event with classic vinyl and digital DJing, as well as video coverage.
We can't wait to see you out on the floor at Easter with the Reach Up crew!
