DISCO'S REVENGE DALLAS

ALIEN LOVE AFFAIR /// Space Dance for Strange Creatures

First off we want to thank everyone who made our New Years Eve party so memorable.  It was a FUN FUN FUN, so kudos go out to all those who brought in 2019 with a bang.

Now on to the new.

Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, we've decided to  throw a party for the non conformist types(like us) who make our dance floor their home, with a cheeky spin on today's weirdly dystopian  charged climate in mind.

We break down walls here, not build them.

So with that being said we present to you: R.S.V.P (HERE)

We take pride in being a bit "different"  from comparable events locally and have no qualms about appearing "strange" within a overall staid social culture which deems differences of culture "foreign" and not of any worth - with the exception of being abused and exploited - non consensually  of course...lol.

So with that being said, this event is for all those who refuse to conform to the rigidity of societal constructs of racism, sexism, elitism, genderism and all other "isms" placed in the way which are contrary to the concept of love, empathy and compassion.

This is also the week of Valentine's Day and for all those without love, or are in need of love - or if your love is abundant and overflowing - please join us as we celebrate and champion our diversity which brings us UNITY instead of divisiveness.

Expect the usual dance floor shenanigans, the music will be OUT OF THIS WORLD and as always, please have fun, enjoy and respect yourself and all those around you - bad attitudes, negative vibes will not be tolerated and most importantly, if you plan on drinking(responsibly of course) PLEASE arrange for a designated driver, taxi or Uber/Lyft to transport you safely to and from the venue - be aware that the venue location is "outside" the traditional entertainment districts of the metroplex so plan accordingly.

It's going to be a night full of love, joy and ribald merriment of Dioniysian proportions.

SUBMIT to the BEAT @ New Years SLEAZE

After a bit of a hiatus, we're set to return to where we started - New Years Eve - in a dark intimate all encompassing womb filled with kindred spirits who share a passion for music, harmony,  freedom and most of all - love.

We've had the opportunity to  share this passion for 9 years, providing Dallas a (much needed) space for the freedom to express unfiltered support  for underground dance music based upon the ethos of the spirit of the dance floors of the past, updated for the 21st century.

We are feeling extremely excited about this particular event because we are presenting it outside the reach of the standard "glossed over" NYE events where the music and vibe are a literal "prop" to the festivities.

Please, try to arrive early because, 1.) it's New Years Eve and 2.), it's New Years Eve and there is NO COVER.  And if you plan on drinking, please drink and act responsibly and plan on using Uber, Lfyt or having a designated driver transport you home(or to the after party).

There is NO DRESS CODE, so come dressed as stylish, as provocative, as sexy, as quirky, as wildly or as conservatively as your little heart desires, but it IS New Years Eve and we are washing away the negativity and stress from the past year and welcoming the joy and happiness that the new year beckons for us - so please make an effort - it is New Year SLEAZE.

And to wind things up, let's make this event about DANCING and try to keep the cellphone activity to a (extreme) minimum.  We are cognizant that we live in the age of "social media" and instant connectivity but let's make a connection on the dance floor between the dancer and the deejays.  

There isn't anything going on comparable locally, so let us cherish and relish our unique vibe.

And last but not least, PLEASE, leave any and all NEGATIVITY at the door - it will NOT - I repeat - WILL NOT BE TOLERATED - as mentioned before, we will be in CELEBRATION - the only thing we ask of you is for you to SUBMIT TO THE BEAT.

After a (not so brief) hiatus, we're BACK. TRU Radio + Beauty Bar(Dallas)

Okay, okay, I know we've been quiet(to say the least) but after a bit of a sojourn  and "disconnection"(pun intended) from the local scene, we're here(like poltergeists) to bring down the walls  with a couple of things to get everyone's disco juice flowing as we head toward the fall.

First things first - we're doing part 2(of a 2 part feature) internet radio show Monday August 20th on Disco's  Revenge's resident Gavin Guthrie's label based channel T.R.U. RADIO  featuring Disco's Revenge residents Rick Simpson and Mr. Daishiki Jones with interviews, music, music mixes and all sorts of  tomfoolery.

Tune in  HERE  starting at 6PM(US-CDT) or if you are local, we are streaming live from the cozy environs of Dallas' historical Deep Ellum district at Off The Record.  Last show was a blast and this edition promises the same warm fuzzy vibe.

Then on the 28th(August), we are doing a little POP UP type event at Beauty Bar Dallas for their renowned "Turnstile Tuesday"  weekly event.

Past Beauty Bar Dallas guests have included such  legendary DJ/producers such as The Juan Mclean, JT Donaldson, Mystic Bill, Convextion and Mariel Ito(Maceo Plex), along with rising local Dallas luminous and rising stars -  Cygnus and Blixaboy(Wanz Dover), making noise on the international  electro scene.

Expect our unique brand of  "call & response" funk infused,  electronic fortified, analog fueled, discotized, dirty and raw beats and rhythms.


We'll see you on the dance floor.

New Residency || The Nines || Deep Ellum || Starting Feb. 24th

Well, after a bit of a hiatus over the holidays, we are back in 2017 with a brand new direction and a brand new venue.  

STARTING FRIDAY, FEBRUARY THE 24TH

After 2+ years at The Crown & Harp, we have made the bittersweet decision to switch gears and relocate to a BRAND NEW RESIDENCY in Dallas' historical and cultural nightlife and music district, DEEP ELLUM, located slightly east of downtown Dallas, in Dallas' newest nightclub, THE NINES(formerly known as The Redlight).

With this move, we feel that we have a bit more "space" in order to better realize our vision and to bring our message of unity to more people --- we have a larger pulpit and platform to spread love onto our dance floor and to further advance our mission of presenting  quality underground dance music championing the  ethos and creed established decades ago in the mecca's of dance music, New York, Chicago and Detroit, which laid the groundwork of Disco, House and Techno music(respectfully), a cultural phenomenon which later swept the entire planet and has since morphed and blossomed into a globally interconnected culture from Berlin to Tokyo, from Johannesburg to London, and all points in between. 

We are blessed  to be able to include ourselves in this "underground network" of kindred souls joined together by our love and passion for the unity of the dance floor.

With that being said, please join us on our maiden voyage as we embark on a glorious new chapter of our perpetual quest to find the perfect beat.

"What does music mean to me? I don't think I would really be much without it, without it coming through me. It's my means of communication, my means of growth, my means of transportation from one point in my life to another."

Local Jocks Spark A Return to the Roots of Underground Dance Music Culture in Dallas.

Ricky Simpson, Gavin Guthrie aka TX Connect and Mr. Daishiki Jones 

BENDING and breaking, re-conceptualizing, remolding   and rebuilding upon pre-conceived notion of how underground dance music  is defined,  while staying true and focused to the universal  ethos of dance floor harmony since 2010, we are continuing our journey in 2016, dedicated to preserving the culture with our special blend of House, Techno and Disco.

"Back in 2009, as the new year was fast approaching, I was wondering about what was going on on New Year's Eve and I was shocked that there were zero — yes, zero — house or techno-themed events planned for Dallas..."

- Mr Daishiki Jones  

Holding court every 3rd Saturday, at our current home at The Crown & Harp in Dallas for the past year,  we've  slowly but surely,  creating a organic and holistic environment for the music and culture unique to Dallas and the metroplex - there's nothing quite like it in the entire state of Texas.

Our current roster are avid collectors, talented producer, promoters, deejays  who are extremely passionate about preserving  the music and culture along with  it's  history by  building upon it's legacy - always moving forward, while acknowledging the importance of the traditions which were the blueprints and foundation for the culture.

Both Ricky Simpson and Mr. Daishiki Jones have been a  integral part of helping to shape the local underground dance music landscape for the past 20+ years and  newest member, Gavin Guthrie is Dallas' "wunderkind" who is taking the world by storm with his highly regarded releases on acclaimed labels such as L.I.E.S. and Creme Organization and his new label, T.R.U.(Texas Recordings Underground), under his guise as TX Connect.


For your listening enjoyment, here are mixes and interviews in the DALLAS OBSERVER featuring our resident manipulators of the groove.

Join us for our next excursion Saturday May 21st at The Crown and Harp.  21+.  No Cover.
