Disco d'Oli

I'm a vinyl DJ playing soulful house, disco, deep grooves and timeless dance music, with sets that celebrate connection rather than spectacle.

I fell in love with rare groove, then acid then house house music in the era when nobody cared where the DJ was. We danced with each other, not at a stage. The dancefloor was a place to lose yourself, make friends with strangers, hug, have fun, invent ridiculous moves, find yourself again, and feel part of something bigger than ourselves.

Over the years, the scene has become increasingly performance-focused. DJs have moved onto stages, phones have appeared in the air, and crowds have slowly been trained to face forwards. Not my vibe.

My sets are about creating a warm, generous atmosphere where the music draws people together. Expect uplifting vocal house, deep house, disco house, soulful grooves, Balearic moments and a few forgotten gems from more than three decades of collecting vinyl. Every record in my collection is a jewel: a portal, a prayer, a place of rest, nourishment and inspiration or just a stone-cold banger. Each one carries memories of people, places and dancefloors, and dreams of those still to come.

Whether it's a rooftop bar, festival field, woodland gathering, café, wedding, community event or intimate party, my aim is simply to create the kind of dancefloor where people connect with themselves, connect with each other, and have a right old laugh.
