SLIPPED DISCO'S UFO

DJs: Justin Robertson / Milo Smee
Live: My Toys Like Me / Kan't
Residents: Ben Osbourne / Horton Jupiter
Slipped Disco's new bi-monthly DJ and live club night, UFO, spins back into orbit with seminal guest DJ Justin Robertson dropping a trademark eclectic set alongside Milo Smee, co-founder of psychedelic acid funkers Chrome Hoof. They're joined by the critically adored My Toys Like Me playing live. Of the moment band, Kan't (an un-super group formed out of former members of They Came From The Stars I Saw Them, Les Hommes Du Train and Coco Electric), will bring their improvised set to the top floor, turning the upstairs of BCH into a live dance floor, while resident DJs Ben Osborne and Horton Jupiter will be keeping the night awash with wigged out grooves.
Slipped Disco's UFO looks outside the norm for inspiration, embracing the current crop of prog grooves, percussive house, cosmic techno, dancefloor rock and Funk b-lines and seguing them, in true a prog spirit, into one ridiculously over blown anthem.
"Slipped Disco can be relied upon to organise a good party" (Spoonfed)
"... opens your ears to shimmering, groovy electronic delights"... "cosmic wonders and discofied gems" (Time Out)
Justin Robertson
Justin Robertson's tastes have always been catholic though in 2009 you would be hard pushed to find a musician working successfully in areas as diverse as techno, house, dancehall and art pop. Justin is a true modernist: he excels as a DJ of international repute; is a creator of bespoke techno; one third of New Pop band Thee Earls, a remixer for the likes of The Whip, Bjork and Felix Da Housecat and, most recently he has written and produced an album called Silent Life. His latest solo venture was made and mixed in his West London home with Justin adding guitar to synthetic pop that belies his love of inventive, but odd early 80s music. In the midst of a creative purple patch Justin has also just released the Voodoo Swamp EP for Southern Fried - with another single to follow for Paper recordings - called The Deadstock 33’s which he calls psych-house. Justin works in so many genres that he sometimes needs to create new ones.
As a DJ Justin continues to play a mix of techno and electronic house at clubs such as The Loft in Barcelona, Pacha in Buenos Aires, Bugged Out in Manchester, Shine in Belfast, Chibuku in Liverpool, Together in London, and at various clubs all over Europe and the rest of the world. Alongside Guy Williams, Bones and Ed Chemical Justin formed the Black Rabbit club in 2006 who throw parties across London and Ibiza. He also plays more eclectic sets featuring his love of reggae, northern soul and pop at festivals and nights like Sunday Best. Justin will continue to wear several hats, metaphorical as well as some stylish real ones!
