About Me


We're lucky enough to be playing at the Electric Elephant festival in Croatia this summer. In support (ahem) will be the likes of Andrew Weatherall and the Unabombers. It's on 28-30 August in Petrcane, near Zadar. Come and join us in the sunshine! Check the full line up on the festival's website by clicking on the image below.
Basement Boogaloo is Nottingham's finest underground party; it's small, but perfectly formed. A dancefloor full of like-minded musical souls, a crystal-clear sound system and some of the best DJ talent from across the disco galaxy.
Over the better part of the past 5 years, we've moved from Bar None (a tiny basement beneath Nottingham's Lace Market) to our current home at the Maze (an intimate venue which perfectly suits our sweaty brand of hedonism) via famed bank holiday all-dayers (at the Nag's Head and the Canalhouse) and appearances at the Electric Chair and Croatia's Garden Festival, amongst others.
In that time we've been privileged to welcome a fine selection of family and friends to the night. In no particular order, they include:
Ashley Beedle; Horse Meat Disco; Faze Action; Daniele Baldelli; Cosmo; Ame; Maurice Fulton; Domu; Crazy P; Greg Wilson; Stuart Patterson; Dave Jarvis; Unabombers; Ilija Rudman; Zed Bias; Chris Duckenfield; Yam Who?; Electric Minds; James Holroyd; Rob Bright; Schmoov!; Office Gossip; Atjazz; Mudd; Red Rack 'Em; Rhythm Plate; Winston Hazel; Moonboots; Alex Phountzi (Bugz in the Attic); Alex Chase (Stones Throw / One-Handed Music); Tom Giles (Clause 4); Jon K (Eyes Down); Solid State (Society); Chris Lowlife (Lights Down Low); Simon Mansell & DJ Da Costa (Southport Weekender); Annabel Fraser (Hupendi); Keep On Magazine DJs; Rick Donohue; Deepsoul3; Jigsawmusic; Francis Wooff; Fran Green; Mr Hill (aka Dru Skillz); Legendary Tone; Mark Rayner....
