New music which you can pick up in super limited form (silkscreen 12”s in runs of 100) at their forthcoming shows (if you’re lucky) in LA and NYC.

There’s no album yet though - that’s just “bullsh*t speculation” says James Murphy.

Our third and final issue 6 cover star is the incomparable ✨

“Their sound was about perfection. Sonic and compositional perfection. They were leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else of that new romantic generation, it wasn’t that kind of Trevor Horn grandiose perfection and it wasn’t that slightly zany Compass Point art-rock inventiveness. It was a soulful perfection and that’s stayed with them ever since.”

Disco Pogo’s second issue 6 cover stars are the epic and enigmatic Justice ✝️

On their live show: “We’ve been here long enough that we see a new generation of people coming to the shows and listening to the record – exactly the same way that, when we met, we were digging for records and finding bands that started in the ‘80s.”

Dear Disco Pogo community,

We are sorry but the ‘Aphex Twin - A Disco Pogo Tribute’ book and the (reprint of) ‘Daft Punk - A Disco Pogo Tribute’ book have been delayed.

All existing customers will be contacted direct by our fulfilment partner Ochre but the new estimated shipping dates are also below:

Aphex Twin and Daft Punk are expected to ship from the UK warehouse on December 10th - this will be in plenty of time for Christmas for UK deliveries but it is possible that orders from European and ROW countries may not arrive before before Christmas.

Aphex Twin is expected to ship from the US warehouse on December 10th - this will be in plenty of time for Christmas for US deliveries.

Daft Punk is expected to ship from the US warehouse on December 16th - this should still be in time for Christmas for domestic US deliveries but it is possible that deliveries won’t make it in time.

US customers’ orders that only include the Aphex book are expected to ship on the 10th.

US customers who have ordered both books are expected to be shipped together on the 16th.

We are confident about these new shipping dates but, of course, all dates are still subject to change.

To be clear all external stockists will receive their books from us at the same time.

The books looks great btw as you can see from the printer’s proofs (swipe).

We also have some good news which is that all customers who pre-order the ‘Aphex Twin - A Disco Pogo Tribute’ book will receive a complimentary Aphex Twin x Disco Pogo A5 sticker sheet which you can see above. Perfect for laptops, record boxes (remember them?) or for just keeping for posterity. They might even be worth something one day.

To be clear, if you have already pre-ordered then you will receive the sticker sheet and all new pre-orders will also receive the sticker sheet. These stickers are only available with the pre-order of the book.

Also, although we can’t be completely sure, we do expect both books to sell out by Christmas.

We are sorry for this delay but hope the books (and stickers) will be worth the wait.

Thanks for your patience and support.

The Disco Pogo team.

I got my ‘Viva Acid House’ print framed at the weekend and it’s just as beautiful as I imagined it would be 💜

It’s a signed and numbered limited edition of 100 and was hand screen printed by using traditional printmaking techniques.

Anthony Burrill is one of the UK’s best known graphic artists and I’ve been a fan since swapping some vinyl with Anthony for one of his prints about 15 years ago. He also likes his acid house 🙂

We still have some prints left in our store but I don’t think they will last until Christmas so get in quick if you want one.

We’re also collaborating on a club night called The Acid House at on November 2nd - about 80% sold out but a few tickets left when I last checked.

Our 12 page Kate Bush feature from issue 5 by Graeme Thomson is now online at https://www.discopogo.co 🪩

“Appearing 12 years after her previous album, Kate Bush’s ‘Aerial’ is an inscrutable piece of work. One that is rooted in the minutiae of daily life – one track describes scrubbing a muddy carpet in fine detail – but also reaches such moments of joyous ecstasy: ‘It came up on the horizon’, she coos on the penultimate track, ‘rising and rising’. Indeed, as Graeme Thomson argues, for lovers of music informed by that White Isle in the Mediterranean Sea it’s an undoubted masterpiece. Or, as Bush’s camp might have it, a fine album by a fine woman…”
