Introduce Yourself: Jac The Disco

London duo Jac the Disco are set to run a riot in Room Three tomorrow. Not unfamiliar with throwing a shindig once in a while, their club night ‘Last One In’s A Rotten Egg!’ has welcomed the likes of fabric’s finest - the Filthy Dukes, Frenchman Brodinski and Duke Dumont. As they take some time out from the party purveyor scene, the boys, Pac and Jay, have concentrated their efforts on producing their own music that is set to come to fruition this year.

Mixing anything from Chicago House to Cosmic Disco via House and Techno, the local lads look set to slam fabric’s foundations. But what else do we know about the boys? Time to find out, as we hook up with them to find out what makes them tick, what makes a good party and what gets them going (or keeps them going if 01 is anything to go by).

What’s more, the duo has laid down an exclusive mix just for you – fresh.



01 Caffeine Supplements
Pac: Regular sets all over the country take their toll, especially when driving back late. Don’t do a Jay by allowing Pac to take over the driving then wake up in a panic because you thought you were still driving.  Always make sure you have a healthy supply.

02 Line Up
Jay: A great line up is just part of what makes a great party. I'd say the Glimmers have always been a personal favourite of ours and a strong influence. Especially with their cross genre style and the way they mix up the old with the new. We're very excited about playing Kill Em All at fabric on the 22nd January, those guys always have solid line ups.

03 Snares
Pac: There is literally nothing better in dance music than a good old Chicago House style snare roll. FACT!

04 Friends
Jay: I think the best parties are the one's that your friends are at. We used to promote our own club night called 'Last One In's A Rotten Egg.' All our mates and their mates used to come down to support the night, we had some insane parties, it was great fun. We've put the night on hold at the moment as we're concentrating on spending time in the studio.

05 Photo
Pac: Don’t come to a JTD party or set and drink too much. Otherwise you’ll end up in our gallery of photos on our phones in all your paralytic glory.

06 Record
Jay: I used to collect mix tapes back in the 90's, I've even got some of the old recording's from the New York block parties back in the late 70's early 80's. Mix tapes have been an inspiration to many. By recording the parties we can also show other's what they've missed and re-live the experience again and again, long live the mix tape.

07 Jac the Disco
Pac: Because disco is where it started and is conceivably the root of most modern dance styles.

08 Techno Viking
Jay: When you come to one of our parties it's all about dancing and having fun. I'd definitely like to invite Techno Viking to one of our parties because he dances like he means it. He'll also whoop you like Thor's hammer. You can find him on Youtube.



09 Vinyl
Pac: Because there’s nothing like the fresh smell of vinyl in the morning. We may play out on digital formats, but we still buy the vinyl and record it off. Especially old stuff – you get all the nice dubs, remixes and acapellas that really make your sets stand out from crowd. Beatport is for lazy people. Get out there, do some digging and get those fingers dusty and covered in paper cuts.

10 You
Jay: Because without you there's no Party. See you on the 22nd!
