We’re just as sad not to be able to throw down at the Pride Afterparty, we’re always a bit exhausted but love the experience of joining you all for a post-Pride Day party with tired feet, warm hugs and banging tunes, but instead we bring you a virtual Pride afterparty where you can truly dance like no one is watching.
We know the afterparty is a special part of Pride Day so we’ve worked with DJs and club nights that would have been with us this year, or curate afterparties as part of Pride, to bring you an online party. So top up that (biodegradable) glitter and turn it up.
DJs / Club Nights
ATH3NA 7-8pm
Get your day glow on and let’s get the party started! Just like the classic UK high street poster shop, ATHENA is the go to place for everything about the 80s that is aspiration, glamour, cool, decadence and style. We celebrate the sounds, images and icons of the decade before irony, when fierce meant fierce and nobody gave a damn. Expect Pop, Disco, New Wave, Electronica, Hi-NRG, Euro pop, Dance, Power Pop and Italo all set to a special set of visuals from TV, Movies, Videos & Adverts
Grrrl Crush 8-9pm
Parties run by grrrls. Championing womxn and the LGBTQ+ community in music and beyond. If you’re sound, get down and tune in to this special set from DJ Discobobulator, who will be spinning a nostalgic selection of hefty bangers, certified belters and guilty pleasures from this set recorded at the Community Gala.
Horse Meat Disco 9-10pm
Inspired by the halcyon days of the New York nightlife, Horse Meat Disco have built a reputation for their fantastic parties and high-quality disco sets. It’s the queer party for everyone that we all need right now. A massive thank you to the HMD crew for sending us this special lockdown set full of glittering disco behemoths of classic Italo disco, house oddities and afro and punk funk.
KIKI Bristol 10-11pm
Bristol-based collective KIKI started in 2017 seeing a need for a space for LGBT+ People of Colour. We’ve worked with them for many years to curate a room at our afterparty to recognise the intersectionality and diversity of the LGBT+ community and the importance of creating welcoming spaces. Here you can catch this incredible set from the incredible DJ Devolicious.
Punka Presents: Dee2 11-12pm
Bristol riot grrrl Darcie is the frontwoman of the band Drunken Butterfly as well as DJing as Dee2. Co-founder of the club night Bad Reputation she’s DJ’d at nights like Hush, Queer Prom and of course Punka, who usually host one of our official afterparties. Don’t miss her Bristol Pride: Online alternative set featuring all your favourite female fronted indie bangers!
B.Please 12-1am
Usually hosting one of our official afterparties we’re excited to team up with the B.Please crew. This special DJ set was recorded at the recent Community Gala at Lakota. Bringing you the best in deep house, Chicago / Jackin house & disco they’ve developed a huge reputation and following, not only on the LGBT+ scene but for serious clubbers that like to strut their junk.
