Disco Deviant @ Audio

Initially we thought this night was called 'Horse Meat Disco' and so my review had a whole equine theme. Turns out the night was actually called 'Disco Deviant' so my editor had to rework it last minute, you can find the resulting review on the Brighton SOURCE site. Below I've posted my original write up.

Our economy is once again on the downward spiral, the NHS have started charging for wart removal and Tesco are planning their 12th store in Brighton, so there's only one thing for it, time to get down with the gays and dance to disco.

This Friday had some weird equine theme to it, there was Club Unicorn, Donkey Pitch, and our trusty steed - Horse Meat Disco. Bred from the fields of The Eagle in Vauxhall during the hay day of Andy Weatherall, this young colt of a night cantered along merrily before being freed from its London bound stable to trot down to Brighton.

Here the disc jockeys have a chance to delve into the deeper, more dubby side of house and disco, playing with the warehouse ethics of DJ Harvey's marathon 9 hour sets in Los Angeles. As a result they have us and the rest of the crowd chomping at the bit and bucking on the dancefloor till the early morning.
