The full line-up has just been announced for the legendary Dublin Disco All-Dayer which returns to Orlagh House in Rathfarnham on Sat Feb 1st for another twelve hour session of disco madness across two rooms. As an added treat the event features rare Dublin appearances from legendary New York DJ Joe Claussell and UK gonzo disco stalwarts The Idjut Boys.
Claussell has helmed the ‘Body and Soul’ parties in NYC for nigh-on three decades, alongside Francois K and Danny Krivit. His freewheeling sets tap into the original spirit of that city’s club culture, with disco classics, tribal drum workouts, deep house and 60’s psychedelia on the musical menu.
The Idjut Boys are famed for their unique approach to the disco edit and a playful sense of humour summed up by releases under names like the ‘Head Arse Fusion Band’. Almost the dictionary definition of the ‘DJ’s DJ’s’, long time collaborator Dimitri from Paris got them to mix his ‘NightDubbing’ comp of 80’s proto-house and boogie, and the likes of Optimo and DJ Harvey have included their tracks on recent compilations.
As ever, the cream of Irish disco talent will be represented, with the likes of The Board of Works, Ricky Chong, Belfast Music Club, Soul Rotation, and Hang Dai founder Will Dempsey standing toe-to-toe with the international guests.
The music will take place across two rooms – the plush wooden-floored main hall, as well as the ‘Balaeric Back Room’, a luxurious lounging area showcasing eclectic sounds from ambient, jazz and reggae to soul, funk, and hip-hop. As ever, the party will be powered by Klipschorn loudspeakers, the beautiful horn-driven speakers that drove the dancers wild at the seminal 1970’s New York party space The Loft and the parties that followed at hallowed spots such as Studio 54 and The Paradise Garage.
The venue for this very special event is Orlagh, a unique house set on fifty acres in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, which will become a magical boogie wonderland, festooned with mirrorballs and huge disco balloons. The main dancefloor itself is a converted church hall boasting breathtaking panoramic views of Dublin.
Food will be provided by @zerozeropizza and the venue provides fully-stocked bar, including cans from Californian craft beer kings Sierra Nevada.
Prepare to be amazed!
