About Disco Bliss
Disco Bliss isn’t just an event; it’s a movement, a highly successful series of club nights that has been resurrecting and celebrating the golden era of disco, funk, and soul across the UK for over a decade. Born from a passion for authentic grooves and an inclusive dancefloor ethos, Disco Bliss began as a humble, word-of-mouth gathering in a small London basement, quickly gaining legendary status for its uncompromising dedication to quality music and euphoric atmosphere. Its “history” is written in countless sold-out shows and the joyful sweat of thousands of dancers.
The “style” of Disco Bliss is unmistakable: a vibrant blend of classic disco anthems, rare funk gems, and soulful house cuts, all mixed with impeccable taste by their resident DJs and occasional special guests. They champion the pioneers – Chic, Earth, Wind & Fire, Donna Summer, Sister Sledge – while also unearthing forgotten treasures that keep the dancefloor alive and surprising. Their “hits” aren’t chart-toppers, but rather the collective memory of nights filled with communal joy, glittering lights, and that unmistakable, driving beat that compels everyone to move. The “current lineup” typically features a core of exceptionally skilled resident DJs, renowned for their ability to read a crowd and craft a seamless, high-energy journey through disco’s rich tapestry. They are the custodians of the Disco Bliss sound, ensuring every event lives up to its name, promising pure, unadulterated sonic ecstasy.
