On a rainy night in a dark Manchester basement the Disco Outcasts first collaborated, playing space disco to a crowed of the Northern Quarter's cool cats… The vibe was electric, beer was flowing and onlookers had their heads nodding to this special new allegiance. Not knowing things were about to explode Stefano and Leo decided to relocate to the kitsch surroundings of Manchester's disco dive, better known as the Purple Pussycat. The pair instantly fell in love with the venue, thinking Daft Punk video meets 70's strip club and with much delight were snapped up with a Saturday night residency. The combination of the quirky basement and sleazy disco sound track makes this one of the most entertaining nights out in the city!
With the duo attracting interest from some of the coolest underground promoters it was no surprise they have done this before! Stefano is a real legend in the Manchester music scene, having released records that sold in excess of 70,000 units and playing everywhere from the Hacienda to Glastonbury, from Ibiza to Reykjavík… Stefano has toured with acts such as Oasis and Run DMC, demonstrating he's one of the most versatile DJ's around. Leo has quickly become one of the city's most exciting talents, with a record collection reminiscing those twice his age. His technical ability has impressed many a veteran, dubbed junior disco amongst his peers. Leo is the brains behind Manchester's phuture parties, as well as previous residencies during Tangled's legendary reign at The Phoenix dubbed as one of their "stars of the future" and for Ibiza's notorious Zoo Project.
In a short space of time the duo also helped create a nu-disco scene over at the newly refurbished Cellar in Blackburn. The nights included guest slots from their heroes including a reel-to-reel session from the master of electro funk Greg Wilson. Outside of their Disco Outcasts parties they are busy with discoid residencies in cities around the country including Manchester, London, Liverpool and Blackburn, as well as regular bookings to guest at some of the most weird and wonderful parties!
Now in their second year the Disco Outcasts have featured as residents for club nights around the country and beyond… From representing London's Mondo Disco crew at The Garden in Croatia to creating a small disco scene in Blackburn at The Cellar with the help of heroes such as electro funk master Greg Wilson. Outside of their residencies the pair are ever busy with international bookings at some of the most weird and wonderful parties across Europe, plus a tour of the East and West Coast of the United States and Canada early next year. Outside the club the pair have some exciting studio plans, with Stefano's collaboration with Adam Strange 'Pulp Disco & The Outcasts' sparking a burning desire to make more music . The unsigned debut 'Witches' has been playlisted by the likes of Rune Lindbæk, The Unabombers, Dub The Disco, James Holroyd and David Dunne has featured it heavily on the Nu Cool show for the Galaxy Network along with Stefano’s guest mixes.
If you love italo, cosmic, afro and boogie then look no further than Stefano and Leo… The Disco Outcasts!

The second in the Tribute series comes from the Situation posse.
Continuing Tribute’s aim to supply festival inspired battle weapons and
club anthems for DJs, ‘We Love Leon’ rips a guitar riff from a rather
well known pop band and surrounds it with played Situation-style
Balearic goodness and then blends it all together with an ace vocal by
Gill Scott Golden. The result is a highly original and stunning melt of
sound which has already had big support from DJs like Greg Wilson and
which really captures that festival vibe of old.
Cut loud on single-sided heavy weight vinyl, the Tribute series is set to inflict some serious dancefloor damage.
‘Kicked off with this on a number of occasions since the guys gave me a
copy earlier in the year. Really love the way it builds before the
vocal comes in - sets the tone perfectly!’
Greg Wilson
‘BAGGY end of the night hand-raiser!’
Jim Stanton (Horse Meat Disco)
‘Love the vocals. Really cleverly fused with a Balearic groove. Stomping without the pace...ACE!’
Crazy P
‘BIG HIT ALERT ! I Love This! The Vocal is stunning and the feel of this track is so good. I will play this for sure.’
