La meilleure soirée disco de Paris by Dj Aïcha :) Welcome to the disco party!

What the hottest disco night in Paris can suggest in the heart of Oberkampf district and in August ? Something burning inside of EACH dancer by vaudou bongos, divas crescendo, overdrive beats, electronic keyboard madness and more. From latin, brazilian disco to hi-nrg eveything is mixed on 1975-1983 vinyls, on one of most powerfull soundsystem downtown, at Nouveau Casino club. For this third “hot summer night edition”, resident Dj Aïcha (who launched the discoqueer gigs 2 years ago) and the great guests she picks up from whole Europe will be the selectors of this very special 70s summer disco trip. Jussi Kantonen (Finland) is back from Japan with disco gems he knows only to create an unexpected atmosphere with the highest quality of exotic decadanza grooves . Lemmings (Paris) is among the rarest in the city to provide with a very talented touch a great travel between late 70s disco and 80s laser dance, among Italo and hi-nrg. If you didnt know Aïcha, mind about her: she terrificly loves Disco like no other Djs and will make you gyrating like in a 1979 burning dancefloor.

For 5 euros all night from Midnight and a Free surprise drink till 1:30 AM, DiscoQueer is the place to be next Saturday 9th August, as the hosts love to gather every kind of people, ages, lifestyles, colors, countries under their real quality Disco sounds.

The DiscoQueer story

DiscoQueer is a club party dedicated to disco music of 1975-83 years. The story began in late 2005 when I noticed there wasnt any 70’s Disco GL friendly gig. Such a shame, when you consider you’re at Paris, the city of Le Palace famous club, the home of French Touch ambassadors who used and re-used disco samples for 95-99 house hits and above all, the gay scene is totally amnesic, forgetting that their modern root are in 70s Disco culture.

It was first a Tea-dance (the first edition was the Sunday 19th March 2006), when Nouveau Casino accepted to turn it at a Saturday night gig. Since we succeeded to gather more than 600 dancers, DiscoQueer found its residency in the famous intimate club of rue Oberkampf district. DiscoQueer happens now around 7 times.

Who is Aïcha ?

Dj, promoter, graphic designer, disco lover ! Aïcha is THE Soul of DiscoQueer. Nothing could happen without her. With Passion she dared to create a completely new event around Disco music. Born in Paris in 1975, She studied arts and sociology sciences, before working in Internet.

She launched in 2004 “Discolounge” parties to show about that sound of disco you never hear : underground disco, from Philadelphia to European great producers you would never dance on in mainstream-disco selection that dominate all classical disco parties and radio shows.

Hard work, passion, braveness, creativity, she’s still there with many side Djs, venues, towns, and more to come.

What kind of musics can we hear at DiscoQueer ?
Disco… A big wor(l)d ! I decided to close the years between 1975 and 1983. 1975 is the official starting of first Disco label Salsoul, and lots of Disco hits. Of course, collectors and freaks will tell you “Bullshit!”, because Disco beat and orchestral arrangments are present since 1972-73 with Philadelphia Sound, a music conducted by big acts as Vince Montana, Trammps, Bunny Sigler, remixer Tom Moulton etc.. In fact, I dont play so much 75-76 elements except in warm-ups or in bars. It’s too “souley”, with all the respects I have for this style. You won’t hear any music over 1983 to be franc (except some brilliant powerfull hi-nrg tunes like “male stripper”, or fantastic happy Italo).

DiscoQueer clubbing Disco needs more Pumpin’ and Glamour ! You’ll hear there, plenty of gems from US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy etc.. Suggestive chorists get mixed with analogic keyboards trance, 125-135 bpm overdrive beat, african or latin percussion breaks… Drama, mystery, outer space, jungle, stars, glamour, and at the end of the night (about 5 AM), masterpieces in 7″, Camp and not serious Disco, unknown French. And Improvization during the whole night ! Some Hi-Nrg, Italo, Disco-Rock can be heard, my guests and I are not closed to related disco styles.

Alec. R. Costandinos, Cerrone, Amanda Lear, Patrick Cowley, Barclay, Philips, Ibis, Malligator, Salsoul, Ibach, Fantasy, Boris Midney, Antony Monn, Hansa, Jo Bisso, of course Moroder, … names, names, names !
