Erstwhile disco party starters, occasional radio hosts and podcasters. Brewed in Nottingham, drunk in London.

Set up by DJs Nick Shaw and Ed Cotton and promoter Olly Hewett, Basement Boogaloo began life beneath the streets of Nottingham and developed into one of the city's best-loved parties. It had three simple ingredients: a dancefloor full of like-minded musical souls, a crystal-clear sound system and some of the best DJ talent from across the disco galaxy. 

Here you can listen to some of our radio shows and mixes from the past few years.

Over the course of 7 or so years, the parties moved from Bar None (a tiny basement bolthole) to the Maze (a rowdy local venue which perfectly suited the night's sweaty brand of hedonism) via famed bank holiday all-dayers and NYE shakedowns in Notts, and appearances at the Electric Chair, the Electric Elephant and the Garden Festival in Croatia. The gang also hosted a series of parties and two killer NYEs at The Star of Bethnal Green and a series of more intimate basement affairs in Stoke Newington, London.

Basement Boogaloo would have been nothing without the guests it hosted over the years. Consisting of a fine selection of family and friends and some bona fide scene heavyweights, they included: 

Mark E; PBR Streetgang; Trus'me; The Revenge; Toby Tobias; Pete Herbert; Bill Brewster; Leo Zero; Ray Mang; Wild Geese; Horse Meat Disco; Ashley Beedle; Faze Action; Daniele Baldelli; Cosmo; Ame; Maurice Fulton; Domu; Crazy P; Greg Wilson; Stuart Patterson; Dave Jarvis; Unabombers; Ilija Rudman; Zed Bias; Chris Duckenfield; Yam Who?; Semtek (Don't Be Afraid); Electric Minds; Flash Atkins; James Holroyd; Rob Bright; Schmoov!; Office Gossip; Lovebirds; Atjazz; Mudd; Red Rack 'Em; Rhythm Plate; Winston Hazel; Moonboots; Matty J & Ben Terry (The Pool / Tirk); Alex Phountzi (Bugz in the Attic); Alex Chase (Stones Throw / One-Handed Music); The Whole Truth; Jon K (Eyes Down); Solid State (Society); Chris Lowlife (Lights Down Low); Simon Mansell & DJ Da Costa (Southport Weekender); Annabel Fraser (Hupendi); Keep On Magazine DJs; Rick Donohue; Deepsoul3; Jigsawmusic; Francis Wooff; Fran Green; Mr Hill (aka Dru Skillz); Legendary Tone; Mark Rayner; Ed Challands ... and not forgetting sometime resident and Nottingham legend, Beane.

Rotating Souls Records: The Pittsburgh record label with those Afro-RetroFuturistic jams, Hi-Tech Funk, Cosmic Boogie Noir sounds, and Gene-Spliced Disco artifacts from another dimension that we love.
