12/18/2023 0 Comments Horse meat discoThe accidental phenomenon of Horse Meat is built on the shared good vibrations and aesthetics of their genre. HMD have a Sunday afternoon disco slot on the venerated radio station, Rinse FM, broadcast from a pod on The London Eye, released three tastefully classic 2010s compilation albums, become BoilerRoom regulars and filled the Teletubbies 5am slot on Channel 4, when the national broadcaster road-tested club TV for a night. Each year they return to site for what has commonly been dubbed “gay disco Christmas”. They are a rock solid festival attraction, persistent bookings which fanned from the initial impetus they lent the NYC Downlow, Glastonbury’s first LGBTQ+ space back in 2009. They have added monthly residencies in Berlin, New York and Lisbon to their London bedrock. In the 16 years of their nightclub tenure, HMD have become a global brand. “You put music at the top and getting high or jiggy follows,” they say, “not the other way round.” Beside their famous well-hung equine neon logo (“Our Eiffel Tower”), their brand of reverential, revisionist bonhomie turned out to be its own form of futurism, restructuring the London nightclub pyramid. The four-strong DJ collective of Luke Howard, Severino Panzetta, James Hillard and Jim Stanton began their disco shenanigans on New Year’s Day, 2004 at The Eagle, Vauxhall. Horse Meat Disco is a byword for Sunday night London bacchanalia which accidentally resuscitated the orginal dance music genre onto the world stage.
