Get To Know Your Dance Floor: Bump Rollerdisco

Have you check out Bump Rollerdisco?

Who doesn’t want to relive their teenage years by strapping on some skates and throwing some shapes? Because the BUMP crew have got your back. Based in Bristol, but providing mobile roller disco around the country at festivals and across London, these beauties have carved out a niche nightlife space for themselves bringing you great DJs to practice your soul train line on wheels to. We caught up with one of the BUMPers to find out more…

What is the ethos of BUMP beyond disco and rollerskates?
Beautiful. Ugly. Mental. People.

What are your ultimate rollerdisco anthems?

Sure Thing – Holding You Tight

Ricky L feat M:CK – Born Again (Pastaboys Main Mix)

Prince – I Wanna Be Your Lover

BUMP has taken place everywhere from the Trinity Centre to Colston Hall to Southbank to Lovebox. Where’s next?

Hopefully somewhere hot.  Ibiza is definitely on our list.

What’s the maddest thing you’ve ever seen on the dancefoor/rink?

There is quite a lot of nakedness. Quite a lot of body parts seem to ‘pop out’ and of course, there is some next level moves from our skaters.

One of our skaters now holds the Guinness World Record for consecutive 360 degree spins!

 

Considering your success in the capital, why do you choose to stay in Bristol?

My heart is in Bristol.

Some pals are visiting from out of town. Where do you take them to show them a Good Time?

Cocktails at Harvey Nicks then Just Jack at Motion if it’s on.

You’ve teamed up with some amazing parties to present special roller discos including Alfresco Disco, Shapes, Clam Jam and London LGBT venue Dalston Superstore. What’s on the cards for the rest of the year and next in terms of collaborations?

We are back at Southbank from Friday 11^th November until 22^nd January with more fantastic club takeovers and guest DJs from Severino to Gutterfunk and DJ Die to Feel The Real.

Sum up in one sentence why you love your city.

It is full of BEAUTIFUL. UGLY. MENTAL. PEOPLE.

BUMP Halloween Disco is Saturday 29^th October at the Trinity Centre. Check the event here https://www.facebook.com/events/1668170973472518/
