Analogue Discogue

Analogue Discogue acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, traditional custodians of the land we dance on, which we now call Darlinghurst. We recognise their continued connection to this land and we pay our respect to their elders - past, present and emerging. ANALOGUE DISCOGUE An all-vinyl adventure, and inclusive dance floor with a community feel. Vintage-audiophile sound hosted by London DJ-producer: Norm De Plume. "What you get when you come to Analogue Discogue is an all-analogue, hifi sound experience. There are no digital components in the audio chain at all and I have always tried to adhere to the David Mancuso principal where less is always more. We feed direct from a Condesa discrete circuit mixer to audiophile power amps, to speakers resulting in a very dynamic, open and pure sound." The excellent sound is only half the story though. AD has always been a kaleidoscope into the deep house producer's extensive record collection. If you come early and stay for the duration (which we highly recommend) you could hear everything from Bluenote to Bossa, Reggae to Rock Steady, Boogie to Disco , Jazz-Funk to Fusion, Chicago House to Deep Techno and much more. This month we're delighted to welcome Gary Ward , who's experience and excellent taste in spinning Disco - Boogie - Funk and House Music we are very much looking forward to ! Gary & Norm will go back 2 back for the whole session. Not to be missed!
