Disco Hound

About Me

Lasermagnetic was born out of passion for disco music. When promoters/DJs Neil Thornton (Madmans Discotheque, Human Zoo) and Johnny Hiller (Switch London/Tokyo, Extraordinary Dancing Bazaar resident) met at a party, they instinctively decided after one or two drinks that it was about time to put on a night (or shall we say an all-dayer) featuring the best the broad spectrum of disco-music has to offer. The diversity of the style of music actually spans over 30 years and . many connections have been forged with fellow lovers of the sound around the world. From Belgium, Holland, Finland, Norway, Germany, France to Japan and the States. No wonder that many of their guests of past, present and future come from further a field. (Turku, Helsinki, Tokyo, Rome, Rotterdam, The Hague, Bergen, Oslo, Paris, Ghent, Duesseldorf and Berlin) It is fair to say that the Lasermagnetic approach has had a great success with their punters and press alike. Their parties attract a colourful and continental/European music loving crowd who look for a real alternative. Regulars have commented that the energy of the party is more about putting a smile on peoples faces. Other production values include hiring in state of the art sound systems (Wattco/Function One), rather than going for the set ups some of the clubs have to offer. In the past, we have utilised old skool Urei Mixers, which make the mid range frequencies sound much warmer.Lasermagnetic guests have included Andrew Weatherall, Kelvin Andrews, Trevor Jackson, Zombie Zombie, Andy Blake (Dissident), Padded Cell, Chromatics, Mike Simonetti, Studio, Skulljuice, Geoffroy (Mugwump), Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Pete Herbert, Gerry Rooney, Diesel, Baby G, Phil Mison, Luke Solomon, Johnny Rock, Simon & Robin (Faze Action) Mark Seven, Pete Z, Toby Tobias, Earl Gateshead, Phoreski, Atjazz, Dennis Citizen Kane, Karen P, Hugh Herrera, Ame', Dixon, Trickski, Marcus Worgell, Rob Mello, Jazzanova, Tako, Loud-E, I-f, Horsemeat Disco,Jef K, Joel Martin & Matt Edwards, Darshan (Metro Area), The Idjut Boys, Richard Sen, Sean P, Bangkok Impact,Tim Paris, Senor Mick & Mula,, Jerry City 16, Fast Eddie, Serge (Clone), Sasse, Dexter, Alden Tyrell, Legowelt,Headman, Larry T, Frank Tope, Dave Jarvis, Stu Patterson,Tomokei Temura, Itchysoul, Maurice Faulton, Moonboots, Jurgen Junker, Ali Tillet, Dj Alcha, Daniel Wang, Brennan Green, Crispin Dior,, Justus Kohneke, PM Flashman, Foolish Felix, Pete Z Risto, Thomas (Rub n Tug), Quiet Village, Mo Morris, Nathan Gregory Wilkins, Beppe Loda and Typhoon Posse, Studio, Disco Bloodbath djs, Cosmic Truth Djs, Mongolian Jetset, Alex (Voices) , Danny Clark & Toby Tobias,Bergas, James & Giles (Secretsundaze), Losoul, Melon, Emily, Mark E, Milo Speedwagon, Geddes, Jay Shepheard, Roland Apel, JB & Darren, Hugo Barrit, Max Skiba, Michael Rienboth, Tj Kong, Kahume SoundsystemFor dj Bookings contact [email protected]
