World of Twist with DAR DISKU: Birthday Special | Global Grooves

World of Twist turns 3! To celebrate, we're super hyped to welcome Dar Disku to The Rum Shack on Saturday 5th September. We've been big fans of what they do for a long time now and can't wait to have them round. If you've never caught Dar Disku before, you're in for something special. Raised together in Bahrain, they've spent years digging through forgotten sounds from across Arabia and beyond, weaving together Arabidisco, Khaliji hi-NRG, Rai, Habibi House, Bollywood, Sawt, psychedelia, 70s punk rock from Iran, 80s Egyptian Disco and all sorts of beautiful oddities from every corner of the globe into beefy italo, disco, not-disco and sounds of the club underground. Through their label, radio shows and DJ sets around the world, Dar Disku have built a reputation for transporting dancers across cultures and generations, sharing stages with artists including Habibi Funk, Palms Trax, Hunee, Esa and Awesome Tapes From Africa, while championing a vibrant musical heritage that's often overlooked. One thing we both have in common is a love for sharing music that brings people together. Old records, new discoveries, familiar rhythms and unexpected turns. The kind of tunes that make strangers dance together. We'll be digging deep too. Expect another open-hearted journey through Middle Eastern, North African and South Asian grooves, African disco and highlife, tropical rhythms, spicy edits and plenty of records to get your body moving. Three years of global groove heaters, shoulder shakers, trippy music videos on the walls and sweaty little dancefloors. A massive thank you to everybody who's come down for a dance over the years. We really couldn't do it without the energy you bring to the floor. Come celebrate with us! As always, everybody's welcome. Much love, WOT x
