Disco Mums tickets and 2024 tour dates

Biography

Disco Mums are an all female manchester based dj collective of seasoned clubbers (now proud parents) who, courtesy of the babysitting skills of a team of generously paid helpers, are still out. Having taken over the decks at clubs around manchester they pass the headphones generously (no male egos here) spinning a collective set of sly gems, treasured classics and out and out bombs from the disco, soul, funk and house genres. They've danced to them like their lives depended on it and- using their extensive knowledge of what works and what doesn't- they're now playing them. And on real plastic too.

Disco Mums are the uniquely beautiful Jane Slack, Jane Kettleton. Emma Joyce, Géraldine Garrabet, and Julie Wills (babysitter).

How did the Disco Mums come together?

DIsco Mums met in Manchester more than 10 years ago hanging around club nights like Electric Chair, Friends and family, aficionado, Drama etc. Luke Unabomber and Moggsy put us on as Disco Mums at the One Deck Sessions at Electrik (Chorlton) a couple of years ago for mother’s day as a bit of a laugh and we had a riot and now we just can’t stop.
