Here at ThreeThousand, we've believed it for a while: disco is the new nu rave. But, as Malcolm Gladwell has said (between trips to the money-counting machine), every trend needs a tipping point. And mark our words, for disco in Melbourne the tipping point will be Wild Combination: A Portrait Of Arthur Russell.
Now, Russell may have been a cellist, but he sure knew how to write a dance tune. This party, co-presented with MIFF, is gonna relive his contributions to Larry Levan's Paradise Garage - ‘Kiss Me Again', ‘Is It All Over My Face' - all that spangly stuff.
We invite you to give your body up to the music in homage of the man who, under the guise of various monikers - Dinosaur L, Loose Joints, Indian Ocean - produced playful and eccentric disco records that were hits of the pre-Studio 54 era. Featuring DJ People, Matt Hurst, Declan Kelly and GLOVES - playing loft classics all night! Dress up, don't mess up.
