ON Saturday, 6 May 2017, Liverpool Disco Festival are
extremely proud to reveal their next artists as they join forces with the 30th Anniversary of the legendary Southport Weekender.
With local disco exponents Hustle and Croatian icons
SUNcéBeat, they
have all come together to present a beautiful weekend of music in the City's
resplendent Baltic Triangle.
The Southport Weekender remains a seminal and celebrated event which has helped
shaped the UK's festival scene, 1 of the most influential festivals whose
influence and music blueprint extends around the world. They have booked pretty
much every essential live act and DJ across the house, disco, jazz, funk and
soul spectrums, and are weaving their magic; embracing all three decades of it
this year; into the Liverpool Disco Festival's 2nd event in the City. Set in
the Baltic Triangle; Liverpool's thriving cultural quarter; the festival takes
place at Constellations, the Camp and Furness, Great Baltic Warehouse, New Bird
Street Warehouse, Hangar 34 and 24 Kitchen Street.
Taking over the Camp and Furnace, Glitterbox is
1 of the world's most flamboyant and hedonistic parties. The club experience
is enhanced by dancers and performers, but the crowd are always the true stars
of the show; open minded, passionate, and encompassing all ages, colours,
genders and sexual orientations. In 2016, Glitterbox reached a new high in
Ibiza, with Fridays at Space seen as the very best nights on the island. Over in
London, Glitterbox continues to sell out Ministry of Sound and the party is
returning to We Are FSTVL and Defected Croatia this summer. making a
rare adventure outside of London and coming to Liverpool for a very
special show.
Widely regarded as one of the world's 1stsuperstar DJs, David
Morales grew up during dance music's most influential era and frequented its
legendary clubs such as The Loft and the Paradise Garage in NYC. He has remixed
and produced everyone from Mariah Carey to Michael Jackson and the Pet Shop Boys
to Jamiroquai, with a unique mercurial touch which has influenced his long
running Def Mix label and agency. David is playing a disco set and after party
house set at the festival, illustrating his vast depth of knowledge between and
across the genres.
Next up is DJ
Jazzy Jeff who has been wowing the world with his flawless turntable skills,
innovative production and musical versatility for many years. The revered
multiple Grammy and American Music Awards nominee is a pioneering
turntable tactician, famed for his technical ability as much as his tune
selection; he is most certainly a magnificent addition to the weekend.
And the beating heart of
Glitterbox himself, Simon Dunmore, also joins the festival. The founder
of Defected Records, one of the world's longest running house music labels,
continues to develop both brands in new and exciting ways. Simon himself
