Deaf by Disco

Deaf by Disco will not actually make you lose your hearing through dance music, rather the duo, Jess Hughes and Nick Wakefield, show off their love for disco, techno and house with eclectic mixes that they started putting together for their own listening pleasure.

After securing a regular club night under the same name in picturesque North Wales back in 2010, they found themselves playing at various parties and club nights across Leeds, Manchester, London and even Austria. 

Following their move to London, Nick and Jess have continued to push themselves. Regular sets in clubs including XOYO and The Nest have seen them warming up for heroes such as Justin Robertson and Greg Wilson, as well playing for formidable party providers like the mighty Bugged Out! 

Since then they have rifled up the popularity charts making festival appearances at Bestival (2011, 2012, 2013, 2015) and Field Maneuvers (2013, 2014) taking their well thought out sets of infinitely danceable genres knitted nicely together against memorable festival backdrops. 

Deaf by Disco put their ideas for mixes together from their homes in London and then go back to back on the decks to record them. Like their club sets, they are crafted with a delicate ear for rhythm and enough punch to get the feet moving on the dance floor.

Since meeting as students in Leeds, these two friends have shared their passion for music. The pair immersed themselves in the city’s clubbing and live music scenes and after discovering a mutual appreciation of Techno, Classic House, Indie, Acid and a lingering teenage love of Metal; they began making music together.

Early demos generated murmurs of approval amongst bloggers, clubbers, open-minded members of the indie glitterati and earned them a residency at the one of the UK’s most prominent club nights, Wax:On. Shows in the UK and Europe followed along with a couple of original EP’s and remixes which won them the support of fans and landed them a guest mix spot on Radio 1.

Summers spent darting back and forth between English festivals and Ibiza residencies were paired with winters spend in a dark South London studio full of old synths. Those long days helped tighten and focus their sound and resulted in a further run of original EP’s and a another host of remixes.

The Twins have continued to focus on their efforts in the studio in conjunction with DJing around the UK and Europe, and have gained a whole of new fans and champions including Mr Andrew Weatherall, who has not only consistently supported their productions in his DJ sets but also invited them into to play his A Love From Outer Space parties.

Eskimo Twins have a host of new material due out in the coming months.
