Wild City #206: Dynamite Disco Club

Starting as a radio show and a continual chain of song edits by DJ-producer Stalvart John, Dynamite Disco Club has since evolved into event curators championing artists which, as their name suggests, specialise in a motley of disco styles with heavy inclusion of house. The growing collective has an unfailing ability to create a musical oasis at festivals and club nights with curation that focuses solely on providing pure dancefloor fun. A Dynamite Disco Club event sticks closely to the ethos of a dance party in its truest and original sense, throwing in selections of some of the best edits of time and geography traversing unmissable undercuts interluded by the surprise of better-known hits while exhibiting a timeless sense that is free from the concerns of ongoing trends or mixing vanity. Expanding even further, the multi-hyphenate brand has just started a label arm – carrying over its ethos to provide a platform for original music, the first of which arrives in the form of 'Disco Lives' by Italian act Babert.  Dynamite Disco Club spearheader Stalvart John has created a mix for Wild City, highlighting the influences that dictate the curation of the label and some of its unreleased material. Uncharacteristically and yet delightfully, the mix meanders through a confluence of acid and leftfield for a short while before the relentless thump of the four on the floor kick drums kick in to usher a parade of funky guitars, dramatic string lines and frenzied percussions – some of the defining elements of disco and the edges where it flows into house.
