Whooooooooooosh, The Cosmic Disco rolls into town! We invite you to something a little different in East London…

From 9pm until 6am every Friday night, a super new weekly melange of music, mayhem, performance, and much more, sets sail on Friday 13th February at the intimate cocktail lounge, Sosho, in Old Street, East London!

Each week the ground floor deck will play host to a sunny selection of disco, dub, & intergalactic house music from an amazingly brilliant crew of dj’s & live acts from around the universe, with their phazers set to stun… There will be a sprinkling of cabaret, performance, film, and magic throughout the months, adding another dimension to the proceedings… The lower deck will be transformed into a sonic sanctuary for lovers of deep, groovy and electrifying house music, served up by the finest selectors from around London and beyond…

Cosmonauts already on board include Rocky (Xpress2), Ross Allen, Pete Herbert, James Priestley (secretsundaze/go!zilla), Norman Jay, Giles Smith (secretsundaze), Dan Beaumont (Disco Blood Bath), Luke Vb & Tim Red (Blonde), Alex Arnout (Dogmatik), Daren & Spencer, Alex Jones (Hypercolour), Diego CK Family, Justin Drake (Peace Division), Anto (click/retox), Dan Clark & Toby Tobias (Late Night Audio), Toni D (Minimal Hospital), Paul Sethi (Badinkadink) & Monophunk, as well as some super surprise appearances too…

This all takes place at starship Sosho powered by Funktion One sound. The venue is one of East London’s hidden gems, an award winning intimate cocktail lounge, boasting some of the most marvellous beverages around.

For the launch party we welcome along special guests Rocky (Xpress2) & Ross Allen to turn up the heat, whilst downstairs gets deeper with the Dogmatik Records party featuring Alex Arnout, Justin Drake, Darren & Spencer…

Ross Allen is a man of many talents, and one of London’s most well known faces on the music scene. Over the years he’s distinguished himself in many fields from DJing to radio presentation, to A&R, to label management to journalism and beyond. Starting as a DJ in the 80s – dropping acid house, hip hop, rare groove and soul – after university he began writing for the jazz and world music bible Straight No Chaser, before getting a job at the independent label Dorado. Eventually persuading them to give him his own sub-label, Filter Records, he created an imprint that straddled genres and released music of the highest quality. After leaving there he went on to become a Sony award winning radio presenter for his eclectic show ‘Destination In’ on London’s GLR, and became Gilles Peterson’s occasional stand-in for his Worldwide show on BBC Radio One. When ‘Destination In’ ended in 2002, he was snapped up by Universal Island, A&Ring and running the Island Blue imprint. His A&R talents have also been called upon by Ninja Tune in the past, and over the years he has signed and worked with Peshay, Tom Middleton, Mercury Award winner Talvin Singh, The Stereo MCs, Lady Sovereign and Sugababes amongst many others. Expect to get down to some quality beatz…

Part of the seminal UK house music trio, Xpress2, Rocky is another dj with a huge collection of musical treats. He’s currently busy hosting the weekly Xpress2 show on Kiss FM, as well as producing lots of new music that include back to their roots club tracks. For this session tonight, he’ll be digging into some alternative cutz to get you shaking on the floor…

Downstairs will be in the hands of the excellent Dogmatik crew. Their party’s rock from London to Ibiza and back again with their special blend of electrifying house music. Head honcho Alex Arnout, West London’s dynamic duo Daren & Spencer, and Peace Division’s Justin Drake will be in the house for some deeper sounds…

There will also be complimentary late night cuisine on hand to keep your disco engines burning. Table bookings & reservations are available on request.

Expect the unexpected. We really hope that you can join us for this one! x
