Horse Meat Disco LP

2 x 12" : £ 15.99

Strut teams up with one of London’s leading disco collectives, Horse Meat Disco, for their hotly anticipated debut compilation release. Inspired by the halcyon days of New York nightlife including Mancuso’s Loft, Nicky Siano’s Gallery and late lamented DJ Adam Goldstone, Horse Meat Disco was started in 2003 by DJs James Hillard (ex-Nuphonic) and Jim Stanton, long-time lynchpin of Jockey Slut magazine. From early parties in London’s Chinatown, Horse Meat took up their famed weekly residency in Eagle London in Vauxhall and, joined by DJs Filthy Luka (Luke Howard, ex- Queer Nation) and Severino (CODEX), quickly built a reputation for fantastic parties and high quality disco sets.Horse Meat Disco has since attracted a discerning mix of old time disco heads, club kids, bears and naturists and has become renowned as a space where heterosexual disco fans can party at a gay disco club without feeling out of place. The club's open-minded ethos has secured them bookings worldwide with international crowds keen to sample the Horse Meat Disco party energy. The debut Horse Meat Disco compilation digs deep for 70 minutes of deep disco nuggets. Styles range from mid-tempo, funky rarities (Empire Projecting Penny, Laura Greene) and percussive Afro grooves (Eddie Drennon, K.I.D.) to more electro and Italo-based productions (Gino Soccio, Sheryl Lee Ralph). The 2CD format features CD 1 mixed by club founders James Hillard and Jim Stanton with CD 2 unmixed. The package includes a full sleeve note detailing the history of the club by David Pascheck of The Guardian
