Psychedelic Forest Disco at Kelburn Castle

Preview by Ronan Martin | 23 Apr 2012

As summer beckons the prospect of al fresco partying in Scotland becomes a little more realistic and so, after last year’s sell out success, the Psychedelic Forest Disco returns to the grounds of Kelburn Castle boasting a varied lineup across two areas. Making this event a little extra special is the fairytale setting in which it all takes place, with the leafy grounds set to be lit up spectacularly and with plenty of variety in the beats on offer, this year’s Psychedelic Forest Disco promises to be a memorable one.  

Headlining the Viewpoint Stage is London’s Zombie Disco Squad (aka Nat Self), whose work has been showcased on labels such as Dirtybird, Jackmode and Made To Play. Self will offer a particularly buoyant brand of party-focused house music with occasional nods in the direction of hip hop, baile funk and ghettotech. Glasgow-based Rebecca Vasmant will also take to the turntables, having gained acclaim with mixes for the likes of Ministry Of Sound and Sven Vath’s Cocoon. Fellow Glaswegian Billy Woods will be providing disco delights while Soul Foundation and electro outfit Digital Jones play live. The Electrikal Tent will host dub act Chungo Bungo who will bring a reggae vibe to the proceedings, while DJ NoFace and Smiddy are sure to be in full on party mode. 

Kelburn Castle, Sat 12 May 6pm-4am, £23 + BF
