Le Visiteur

Foreword by Le Visiteur One thing I’m sure that we can all agree on in this most insane year is that the standard of music released from across the disco universe has been pretty spectacular with brilliant original releases, remixes and re-releases landing from all directions.

Foreword by Le Visiteur As we hit to long nights here in the UK we all need a healthy dosh of feel good disco to keep us inspired and thinking of the warmer summer days and nights to come. Thankfully as always Midnight Riot have the disco heat turned up to 10 with tip top releases this month from Sammy Deuce, Audiowhores, Love is a Bassline, Da Lukas and label dons Yam Who? and Jaegerossa wearing his Platinum City hat.

Foreword by Le Visiteur It’s nearly Halloween, is it just me or did someone hit fast forward on the year? Thankfully there is nothing at all scary about the state of the Disco world which is in rude health at the moment between an incredible landslide of releases, stunning club nights and the tail end of the season’s festivals.

Foreword by Le Visiteur There’s a definite chill in the air this week as we power through the tail end of summer and head straight towards the Autumn months. Thankfully the disco universe is still delivering hot cuts galore and Septemeber 2024 is shaping up to be a bit of a goliath month for sun soaked offerings.

Mighty Mouse was one of the key names in the Nu Disco scene. From his sublime productions to his exceptional DJ sets he built up a fiercely loyal following across the globe.
