Discopia Fundraiser Party!

Yeah, it's been offline for a while but we're doing our best to get it back up...



with guest DJs Billy Woods, Andrew Pirie, Teamy, David Barbarossa, Ally McLeod and The Niallist.

Discopia is back! After a two year absence, Glasgow's premier disco/house music website is getting ready to return, bigger and better than ever. To celebrate, and to help raise funds for the relaunch, the cream of Glasgow's disco music DJs are coming together for one night, for a very special fundraising party.

Saturday July 3rd will see Billy Woods (Outer Drive / Supermax), Andrew Pirie (Melting Pot), Teamy (Wrong Island / Fun Size) and David Barbarosa (Curious Curious / Fun Size) joining Discopia DJs Ally McLeod (Groovekraft / Refo Recordings) and the Niallist (Dissident / Radius Records / Little Rock) for a night of disco debauchery at the Admiral on Waterloo St.
Doors are from 11pm til 3am, and entry is £6.

After starting out as a Glasgow-based printed fanzine in 2001, Discopia moved onto the internet in 2005, with articles and interviews at discopia.com, and a weekly radio show on Radio Magnetic. Featuring original writing by reknowned musicians and DJs like Daniel Wang, Greg Wilson, JD Twitch, Dompter Mooner, Andrew Back and DJ Apollo and exclusive interviews with the likes of David Mancuso, Alexander Robotnick, Nicky Siano, Lauren Rinder (Rinder & Lewis), Metro Area, DJ I-F, Daniele Baldelli, Legowelt amongst others. The radio show featured exclusive mixes from Prins Thomas, Maurice Fulton, Cosmo, Bangkok Impact, Balearic Mike, Robot Disco Terror, Darshan (Metro Area) and many more.

Always doing its best to represent local talent, Discopia aims to bring together the cream of the Glasgow disco music scene, with DJ bills like the one above, and also as a space for djs and punters to connect on the web and share information. There are also plans for a new Discopia record label too, which will feature disco and house music by some of the best new producers from Glasgow and around the world. The website is still under construction (at the new address www.discopia.net) but promises to come back bigger and better than ever before. However, Discopia needs your help to get back on its feet, so come down to the Admiral on July 3rd where you can dance your ass off to some great records, all the while knowing that your money is going to a great cause! Disco Lives!
