Saturday 4th September

Disco Bloodbath starring Leo Zero

Bar A Bar

133-135 Stoke Newington High Street

10pm-late

Mr. Leo Zero/Elstob has been ‘on the scene’ since the dawn of Acid House, from raving at the legendary Shoom, Spectrum & Boys Own clubs to being a founding member of equally legendary parties Soulsonic & Faith.

His remixing career reads like a who’s who of cool UK talent -

Florence & the Machine, Jack Penate, Badly Drawn Boy
Everything But The Girl, Bat For Lashes, Metronomy, Paul Weller, Basement Jaxx…

then there’s the under the counter re works of Prefab Sprout, Bryan Ferry, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, David Bowie… not to mention his writing & production on the sublime debut album from A Mountain of One.
The man is a modern marvel!

Being that Leo has provided us with so many Bloodbath anthems, we thought it was high time for him to finally grace the decks at our party.

See you on the floor

I got this record in February this year & I finally got round to playing it at the ace Vintage at Goodwood festival on Sunday.

It sounded super!

The Permanent Vacation boys smashed it last Saturday!

Super party, no photographic evidence though as I didn’t have my camera.

Had a few people asking what this was when they dropped it at peak time.

So, we’ve got Munich’s amazing Permanent Vacation boys playing at Bloodbath on Saturday 7th August, they’ve put out a ludicrous amount of massive records on their label, here’s some of my faves (in no particular order)…

SATURDAY 7th AUGUST

DISCO BLOODBATH STARRING PERMANENT VACATION (MUNICH)

The Bloodbath summer heat continues….

For our August party we have secured the services of Benjamin Fröhlich and Tom Bioly, the men behind one of the breakthrough dance labels of recent years – Permanent Vacation.

Permanent Vacation’s discography reads like a who’s who of modern leftfield club music – Tensnake, Azari & III, Todd Terje, Maurice Fulton, Woofly, Hard Ton, 40 Thieves, 6th Borough Project & Kathy Diamond are just a few of the artists to have released audio recordings on the label.

Tom and Benjamin are amazing DJs who play throughout Europe as well as hosting their own killer night in Munich where they have played host to Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Tim Sweeney, Chateau Flight and more.
Their night is also where DJ Harvey has chosen to play for the Munich leg of his upcoming European tour. WHÖÖP!

We’ve been trying to get these boys over for ages now, so we are over the moon that they can finally play round ours!

Our guests will, of course, be joined by Bloodbath residents Damon Martin, Dan Beaumont and Ben Pistor who’ll be providing the usual soundtrack of massive disco, raw house cuts, spaced-out italo and mutant pop noir into the early hours.

See you on the floor

I got interviewed when we did our gig at We Love Space last week. Not sure if I offered much insight and I appear to be waving my hands around like a madman.

I did have some great photos of our trip to Ibiza last weekend, unfortunately my camera doesn’t seem to like sand in the lens & half of the pictures didn’t come out. Space was amazing (thank you!) & it was brilliant seeing Bloodbath regulars in there & around the island.

DISCO BLOODBATH STARRING HONEY SOUNDSYSTEM – SATURDAY 3RD JULY

We are super excited to announce that for July’s Bloodbath we have San Francisco’s fabulous HONEY SOUNDSYSTEM!

Honey is a notorious weekly Sunday party in “the most sexually abrasive & peculiar district in town”, with a loyal crowd of bears, club kids, trannies, freaks & geeks getting down to the Honey sound of lo-fi House, early Acid & dance your ass off Disco.
They’ve also recently released an awesome compilation ‘Brotherhood’ full of original tracks by the likes of Mandy Warhole, Filthy Luka, Bear Essence & more…

As ever the Bloodbath hit-squad will be serving up the usual mish mash of ecstasy disco, spaced out italo, stripped down house music, yacht rock, bitch tracks, pop-noir and all manner of other sounds that go bump in the night.

See you on the floor.

Ben, Damon & Dan

Bad tune!!

ORLANDO RIVA SOUND – INDIAN RESERVATION

Not sure if this is culturally sensitive or not. However, it is definitely awesome.

There are other youtube clips with the longer 12″ version but they’re lacking in pyrotechnics, light shows and bikini-clad women so this one gets my vote.

FLASH & THE PAN – MIDNIGHT MAN

Such a tune!

They don’t make videos like this anymore either..

AU REVOIR SIMONE – SHADOWS (TANLINES REMIX)

I’m probably a bit late on this (I think it came out last September) but I’ve been obsessed with this remix since hearing it a couple of weeks ago at my brother in law’s stag do. Brooklyn duo Tanlines have given the original a Torch Song-esque sort of vibe. Perfect summer horizontal by the pool stuff.

Big thanks to Ed for putting me on to this one.

Eastern Electrics was absolutely mega!

Huge thank you to our guests Still Going, It’s A Fine Line, all the people that came (super crowd!) & everyone involved.

Tune of the night for me was the Carl Craig remix of We Have Band – Divisive, played by either Tim or Ivan (was hard to tell by that point in the night).
Enormous.

We’ve recently remixed electronic pop duo Monarchy’s single, Phoenix Alive.

If you like vinyl you can get it at Phonica or downloads from the usual places…

Disco Bloodbath began life as an irregular speakeasy party in the basement of a Caribbean restaurant on the wrong end of East London’s Amhurst Road. The three residents - Damon Martin, Dan Beaumont and Ben Pistor – swiftly gained notoriety for their unique blend of raw disco, spaced-out italo, vintage house and proto-techno and have taken the Bloodbath sound to some of the UK’s most discerning dancefloors.

Fabric, Bugged Out, Bestival, The Big Chill, secretsundaze, Horse Meat Disco, The Warehouse Project & Lovebox have all played host to the Disco Bloodbath sound. In the last couple of years the boys have been going global traveling to gigs in Japan, Berlin, Ibiza, Paris, Croatia, Dubai, Barcelona and Snowbombing festival in Austria amongst others.

Disco Bloodbath have also been busy in the studio  on remix duties for the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Little Boots, White Lies, Monarchy, The Aliens, and more.

Each of the residents is also working on original music through various other projects, some of which should see the light of day this summer.
