Disco Deviant August schedule and ting

Finally found the time for a post to keep you all up to date with what's happening on the DD front in August. It's been a busy period, the highlight being The King & Queen gig with Greg Wilson & Co. Big thank-you for coming and making that a great night. We had a lot of fun. Considering further nights there... Photos are up HERE

OK this coming weekend is the first Vintage festival at Goodwood. The Line up is like a who's who of British DJ's and club nights. Happy to be playing the roller disco on Sunday afternoon (1.30pm) Hope to see a few of you over the weekend.

Rampling late Friday, Lowlife on the Saturday, Weatherall in the warehouse and Greg on Sunday are a few I plan to be at. Bands, workshops, fashion, movies and lots of DJ's to take in over the weekend. Take a closer look HERE

Pleased to have two great DJ's joining the ever growing list of Disco Deviant guests in August. Rob Acteson was one of the pioneers of the acid house scene in the late 80's and has been DJing professionally since the mid 80's. He's joining me for a Boogie set Above Audio on 20th Aug. His Classified nights are still going strong and he's a much loved figure on the underground scene. Rob can also be name checked in Last Night A DJ Saved My Life should you wish to check his pedigree.

Nick V is a resident at Mona in Paris and consistently pleases Parisian crowds there. We've got him over for a couple of slot's in Brighton over the Bank Holiday weekend, a firm favourite of my wife, looking forward to him treating us to his genre hopping sound. Friday 27th @ The Globe - Followed by a daytime party on the terrace at Audio on the Saturday 3-9pm.

I'll be guesting alongside Norman Jay at The Coalition on Fri 27th as part of his 30 years of Good Times night. Glad to get in on that later.

Finally we finish the weekend in style with a secret rooftop party in Hove - location is kept a secret. We run from 2.30-11.30pm and the vibe is second to none. Those in attendance in May will vouch for that. guest list only, email: contrabanddjs@gmail.com with names for guestlist. This party is for our friends and their friends only.

NickV - Paris - DJ Mix

NICKV is a product of Mancunia, packaged in the suburbs of Paris and currently one of the hottest djs on the Paris scene. 

His reputation has grown with the success of the clubs he helped to establish in 2003 when Nick’s across the genre flavoured dj sets led him to hold down major residencies : GUYS & DOLLS, OTRA OTRA, CLUB DISCO and BALLROOM – some of Paris’s best underground nights where he played monthly to the more discerning ears of open minded and mixed people – gay, straight or both – alongside the likes of Laurent Garnier, Dimitri from Paris, Needs, The Unabombers, At Jazz, Ivan Smagghe, i:cube, Dj Deep, Âme, Greg Wilson, Gilb’r, Erik Rug, Grand Wizard Theodore, Maurice Fulton, Metro Area, Chris Goss (Hospital), ?uestLove …

Nick’s Mancunian origins combined to a Paris based b-boy and funk background have provided him with a rare blend of music tastes, on which he draws to build his unique sets. His DJ sets rip up any dancefloor and combine music from all genres and periods of music : digging deep into the old school from hiphop to disco and electro funk, through to the sounds of the future drum & bass, deep house, broken beats, techno soul and far beyond. His dynamic yet smooth mixing skills honed over the years have established Nick as one of the hottest djs in the French capital.

Right now you can catch him every third Saturday of the month in Paris at LA JAVA where he is resident for the very confidential MONA nights. A must if you are in Paris.

We're hoping to lure him in our direction for a Disco Deviant party some time soon. In the meantime....
