What a cracking addition to the festival roster @brixtonjamm was on Saturday. Helped along by our Number 54 Routemaster bus, the venue was full early and remained packed for the whole day.
@faithfanzine held fort on the terrace and middle room throughout, with a cracking lineup, whilst @dontfkwithdisco brought the heat by night in the club, after sister party @upontheroofbrixton resident and co-founder @rob_alldritt and @funkymusak had warmed things up nicely in the club.
The next UOTR is @brixtonjamm on Bank Holiday Sunday with bdf favourite - Mr @dimitrifromparisofficial - we have got 100 tickets available for just £5 via the comments below as a post BDF treat. We hope you can join us!

The first episode of Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution aired on BBC Two last Saturday, with the remaining two to be aired on December 23rd and 30th. All episodes are also available now on BBC iPlayer.

Some amazing Electric Brixton BDF memories over the last 5 years…
Final countdown to this Saturday is ON x
After joining us at the Brixton Village stage for our 2022 multi-venue festival, we are delighted to welcome Aroop Roy to our Electric Brixton show this October, after an amazing 12 months which has seen Aroop’s star rise considerably.
A producer, DJ and label head, Aroop joins the dots between electronic music and borderless organic sounds. From house, garage and techno to jazz, disco and afrobeat, his productions have become a mainstay for DJs across scenes and generations, with Gilles Peterson calling him ‘a brilliant producer, who never fails’.
Highly respected amongst his peers as an eclectic tastemaker, Aroop has recorded guest mixes for a wide range of shows and labels including Gilles Peterson, Defected, Freerange Records, CO-OP, Jazz FM and BBC 6 Music’s Craig Charles Funk & Soul .
His sets are a journey full of personality and style, effortlessly joining the dots between genres, earning him a reputation as a uniquely gifted DJ. In 2022, he closed We Out Here Festival with UK legend Mr Scruff who described Aroop as a ‘ridiculously skilled selector, musically able to move in any direction with ease’.
In 2023, Aroop is enjoying huge momentum. A successful B2B tour with Mr Scruff, a sold out and critically acclaimed “Aroop Roy & Friends” residency and electric performances at Printworks and Fabric have led to a packed calendar through to early autumn, including headline sets at Defected Croatia, Hi Ibiza, Warehouse Project and Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival. He has EPs on Mele’s Club Bad label and Freerange records, as well as several remixes on both independent and major labels.
Aroop’s own imprint Vive La Musique has delivered inspired reissues and reworks of rare soulful sounds from Caribbean Zouk and Congolese Rumba to South African soul. In particular, his work highlighting the previously unrecognised influence of jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty on the Detroit techno movement received universal acclaim and many more exciting
After regular appearances for us since his debut on freedom weekend back in July 2021, we have been delighted to welcome Kirollus on a number of occasions, during a rapid ascent towards the forefront of a new wave of disco and boogie. He is back with this October for our autumn one off Electric Brixton.
His magnetic style is both fearless and effervescent and for anyone who has seen him perform they can testify that they are in the presence of a future legend.
The London based selector is known for his electric stage presence and enviable record collection which was carefully amassed during his 8 year tenure behind the counter of the revered Uptight Records in Hove.
His new platform Groove Anthology demonstrates Kirollus’ strong ability to connect people through a love of music and dance whilst his many videos circulating online have quickly earned him the respect of some of the leading names in DJ culture and continue to inspire countless upcoming DJs who cite Kirollus as a major inspiration.
The last 12 months has seen Kirollus light up the stages of other iconic London institutions such as KOKO, Printworks, Ministry Of Sound, to clubs all over Europe as well as some of the best festivals in the circuit - Lost Village and Defected Croatia to name a few. Keeping the essence of DJs like Larry Levan and Ron Hardy alive for generations to come, he is the future of this music and showing no signs of slowing down in his pursuit to uplift, unify and inspire the lives of others through the power of sound.
Todd Terje has been delivering synth-laiden contemporary disco dancefloor destroyers for the last decade, and we are delighted to welcome him back this October for our autumn one off at Electric Brixton.
Called “King of the summer jams” by Mixmag, Terje made his name with a string of remixes and re-edits in the mid 2000s. His 2012 house track “Inspector Norse” remains to this day a staple on many a dancefloor, appearing on his superbly received long player, “It’s Album Time”. Subsequent releases included the pulsating “Delorean Dynamite”, “Strandbar” and the monstrous “Ragysh”, backed with “Snooze 4 Love” from 2011. The now classic ‘Eurodans’ was played by everyone from Dixon to Sven Vath.
With regular headline appearances at some of the biggest clubs and festivals around the world, both DJing as well as with his live act “The Olsens”, Terje has continued to to be at the forefront of the contemporary disco and house scene for well over a decade.
