Risky Disco St Patrick's Day 17/03/07 4 Slim

Risky Disco was held monthly at The Prince Brixton for about 3 years, on & off. The pub venue had a Funktion One sound system, put in there originally by Arthur Baker when he co-owned it (along with space above, subsequently known as The Dex and now Brixton Clubhouse) with Stuart Hopson Jones. Being in the heart of Brixton, on the corner of Coldharbour Lane, it attracted many a colourful character, which always added to it and gave it a certain edge. Anything could happen, and it often did!

Risky Disco's name was adopted. Originally a track by Pete Herbert & Phil Mison as Bakazou entitled Risky Disko, Risky Disko was 'the demon brainchild of Pete Herbert & Neil Thornton' and its original residents were Pete Herbert (Reverso 68), Neil Thornton & Johnny Hiller (Lasermagnetic). I guested there in January 2007, and in the following months with Neil unable to come, I took it over. The misspelling of Disko as Disco by Thornton was adopted and later Pete gave his blessing to keep it. I brought in my right hand man, Rupi Panasar as co-host and along with Jonny5 (Blindsign) and Girish Rambaran we had a good team of residents. Over the years we had many great guests. Not all were recorded but what is there I felt good enough to dig out and publish. Although there may be some distortions here and there as I was not always on hand to keep an eye on the levels, we were also plagued by technical difficulties from the much neglected set up. Every week was a challenge! 

Anyway, maybe someone might enjoy some of these :)

This is in effect the first Risky Disco in it's new guise. 
There's a ton of fantastic photos from the event taken by Eleonore de Bonneval available here in directory form only (sorry) http://www.blindsign.org/monstercockplayas/RiskyDiscost.patricksday170307/
