Death Disco Presents Peaches (DJ Set)

Preview by James Corlett | 28 Sep 2011

Outlandish costumes and lascivious lyrics have been the cornerstone of the stratospheric rise of Lady Gaga in recent years. The idiosyncrasies of Ms Germanotta’s guise will have their origins exposed to Death Discoers as Peaches takes to the wheels for an evening of warped electro sleaze. Remember the Jackass 2 ‘old man’s balls’ scene? If Johnny Knoxville grotesquely masquerading as a saggy elder gent hasn’t indelibly etched itself on your consciousness then the “suckin’ on my titties” refrain it was set to from Fuck the Pain Away, with its malign bassline and thunderous symbols, will serve as the first port of call for those unaware of the electro goddess’s output.

Tent in Your Pants sounds like a would-be parody of much of the present chart music, with its salacious neologisms (“Hurts so good I gotta soregasm!”) and, whether or not she is a burlesque parody, she does have a tangible knack for filling floors. While her sexually suffused brand of electro clash will make for an eccentric evening, wits must be kept intact in the highly likely event that magnums of champagne are used to douse dance floor passions. This act, habitually executed by Peaches after having physically mounted the decks, almost certainly ignites rather than placates the party. Other shocking surprises are sure to unfold and, whatever happens, it will be filthy.
