it's been a while, but it's back on for 08, you know it

We've been keepin to our corner of the playground, gathered round a stereo, heads down. Over near the hopscotch them boys with the big trainers started playing electro out of a boombox. We're walkin over there, they step up, and we're watchin each other, close up. One of them shrugs in his jacket, twitchin his skinny frame to the beat. Yeah, those malignant ROUGH DISKO kids really gone done it this time.

Instead of settling this the old-fashioned way, throwin some shapes up in each others faces, gettin all techtonik, we're stepping to the same rhythm, falling into sync, whirling legs round, all jumpstyle. Strength in numbers, that's right, together we’re throwing up THE BASS OFF for a heavy sound clash.

The ROUGH DISKO team (cut to JIMPOTENT, GAG REFLEX and THE LONDON WICKER since BOB FUNKHOUSE’s sad departure to the smoke) are purveyors of electro, house, bassline, house, techno, ghetto tech and booty shaking business. December saw the ROUGH DISKO Djing/gymnastic team display aerobics both on the floor and behind the decks. The wonk levels were jacked up to 98 with help from South London’s finest purveyers of crunking electronics dragged straight from the gutter, ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD.
