ROOM 1:
Northern Disco Inc is proud to launch our first Manchester night with six hours of the most amazing music from two of the worlds leading authentic disco DJs, playing for the first time on the same bill: RAHAAN (Chicago) and AL KENT (Million Dollar Disco, Glasgow).
Rahaan's been DJing a long time, but remained one of Chicago's best kept secrets until his mixes started appearing on deephousepage.com alongside rare tapes from the likes of Ron Hardy and literally created a woldwide sensation. His mixes are legendary, a seemless blend of personal re-edits of some of the rarest disco joints (some of which were released last year to great acclaim on Birmingham's Jiscomusic label), creating a sound like no other and generating frenetic ID debates on music forums the world over.
He's currently working on more re-edits and a live project, each of which will see the light of day later in 2007. The whole world has now heard of Rahaan, but this is his Manchester debut, something of which we at Northern Disco Inc are very proud!
Like Rahaan, Al Kent is recognised throughout the world as one of today's true disco heavy weights. When a US label discovers original mastertapes of an unreleased tune by a disco artist, as has happened recently, it's Al they call to do the remix. DJing since his teens, and collecting records even longer, he's occassionally dipped into that collection to treat music lovers worldwide to three compilations of ultra rare disco in the Disco Demands series and has, under the guise of Brown Brothers, released five re-redit EPs over recent years, most recently also on the Jiscomusic label. Al made his Southport Weekender debut in November 2006 and his pure disco set is considered by many attendees to be the highlight of the event.
Whilst his Million Dollar Disco brand in known worldwide, AL is no stranger to Manchester and always goes down a storm. He will no doubt be the perfect accompanyment to Rahaan.
Both Al Kent and Rahaan will play 100% disco sets.
Spawning and influencing virtually every aspect of music to be found in today's clubs, but most noteably house, disco remains hugely influential to today's clubbing community and this will be Northern Disco Inc's forte. Expect the rarest and most sought after underground disco blended with the odd hands in the air classic and the type of music that todays producers are literally aching to source and sample, most persoanlly re-edited by Rahaan or Al.
Dont bother Shazaming though.. it's unlikely to help..you're about to enjoy something truly unique so cut the chin stroking and just dance for fucks sake!

BAR:
And just in case you thought we may be turning our back on homegrown Northern Disco talent, nothing could be further from the truth - we've decided to fill the bar area with 10 hours of every sub-genre of authentic disco (from cosmic to northern, modern soul to down tempo bar grooves). It therefore gives us great pleasure to announce our All Star line up for the bar area..
On Hubert Street and the Southport Weekender are regular inspirational haunts of Northern Disco as no doubt for many of you. Right from the start we wanted to get discoheads whose knowledge and play list stretched to Modern or Northern involved and the natural choice here was IAN BUCKINGHAM
or EL BUCKO as most of you will know him. The driving force behind the extremely successful Loveboat nights in Durham, which have been running for nearly seven years, and an On Hubert Street regular, we've been lucky enough to hear Bucko's sets a good number of times and have the blistered feet to demonstrate our enjoyment. So we said to Bucko, "are you up for it", and he said "course, can I bring the lads?" When he told us "the lads" were To The Manor Born's PETE WHARRIER and BUCKO's fellow Loveboat co-hort (and Those Than Know resident) JOE MINNS, we had to take a cold shower!!

TO THE MANOR BORN (http://www.southportweekender.co.uk/manor.php)
From day one, local heroes KUMOMUSIC were on Northern Disco's wishlist and we're absolutely delighted that the guys agreed, without hesitation, to come on board at the start. Since its launch in May 2006, their night Kumo become a by word in the City for intimate, up-for-it parties where the crowds want to here diverse quality music from Deodato to Blaze, via Edna Holt. When they're not guesting at top notch nights throughout the UK and overseas, they're inviting the likes of Moonboots and Kelvin Andrews to guest at their night and their reputation continues to go through the roof. One thing is without doubt from listening to these guys, as they'll freely admit, disco is and remains their first love as their very classy set will no doubt demonstrate.

Northern Disco first met MR B at a sweaty Music Box night a year or so ago. When the fortysomething father of one started chinstroking about disco rareties that night and their respective collections with a thirty one year old gay bloke who hankered after the days of 54, it was discolove at first sound! Mr B has been collecting records for 30 years and has an extensive knowledge of black music, something which always makes his sets stand out from the norm. His guest spots in recent years at Development and Stylus led to an invitation to join the Niteshift team and, most recently, a Saturday night residency playing proper disco and bar grooves at Sankeys (Disco Electronica). Mr B was another must have for the Northern Disco wishlist.

Local hero LEE MORGAN's mix on the deepdistraction.com led to him being christened Manchester's 'King of Soul and Rare Groove' something borne out every Saturday night at Sub Space's Superfunk where he packs the place to rafters playing disco, soul, funk and rare groove for the Manchester masses. As the main guy behind deep soulful house night, Niteshift, and funk overload night
Wiggle Waggle (Mr B also being one of the others involved in these) each of which have also gathered their own followings over recent years in Manchester, Lee was also on our wishlist for the bar and we're very excited to have him on board.

Lastly, but by no means leastly, in the spirit of Rahaan's own rise from message board poster to disco heavy weight, Northern Disco looked for a local disco head with a similarly growing reputation on the forums whose knowledge of disco and reputation was second to none. When we asked around,
the one name that came up time and time again was CLAY POTATO from the electric chair forum.. "when it comes to disco, he's ya man". So we contacted Ben and asked if he would be interested in giving us the benefit of the knowledge and joining the line up and getting back behind the decks..
Absofuckinglutely was his response. We were chuffed to bits as were the other DJs when they heard we'd convinced Ben to get on board. Very chuffed indeed.
Enjoy!
