The FunkDown Episode 008 - Special guestmix from Bats (Disko Klubb) 17.06.2021 by JayLee published on 2021-06-17T07:06:27Z Welcome everyone to Episode 8 of The FunkDown bringing you 2 hours of Nu Disco floor fillers, soulful grooves and funk filled gems. This week we are delighted to have a guest on the show providing a mix for the second hour. Our special guest is Bats who hails from the north east UK (Hull). Like many his journey through house and affiliated scenes in the 90's gave birth to a love of all things disco! Bats is 1/3 of the @DiskoKlubb DJ Crew he has enjoys contributing to Hull's music scene, DiskoKlubb has been running nights for 7 years in the city, as well as playing the marquee events and festivals that the city hosts. DJing has been a teenage love affair for Bats with influences spanning most genres. Speaking disco he simply says, 'most of the tracks I liked was edited from a disco beat or vocal, as I looked more into the genre I became aware of how many genres have relied one the influence of the 4-4 beat, hypnotic riffs and powerful vocals'. He spins what makes him smile and says that, 'it's never been about playing the latest top 20 releases, its always about the ride a DJ can take you on'. Although having respect for the new engineers and producers he has a ultimate respect for the originators and pioneers of the disco and what is now house music scenes. Bats would like to thank all listeners and those who give time to the groove. He would like to thank @JayLee and the @FunkdownRadioShow for having The @DiskoKlubb guest mix featured. Myself and the FunkDown would like to thank Bats for his time putting together the guest mix. It's been a pleasure to have him on the show spinning his grooves.
