Experience the THUMP Disco Emporium All Over Again

Fight off those back-to-the-office blues by looking back at THUMP's mirrorball masterpiece of a New Year's Eve bash
Lorenzo Motion got the ball rolling with an upfront smattering of Paradise Garage classics and house inflected thumpers.

We've weaved through weeklong hangovers and powered our way into the early days of 2015 and everything feels a little bleak. To restore your seratonin levels, we thought we'd share a few photos from our spectacular NYE extravaganza at the Troxy. A packed out room of disco hungry punters shimmied and swayed all night long through post-postmodernity's answer to Saturday Night Fever. Our expertly curated selectors ran the dancefloor gamut, taking us on a global exploration of quintessentially feel-good music.

So as you slump back into your swivel chair and stare blankly at the 674 unread emails that're clogging up both your inbox and your soul, why not relive 2014's shiniest, spangliest night. We've also put together a soothing playlist of John Travolta approved jams to ease you back into the reality of the working world, which you can find below these snapshots.

THUMP's very own Safe Hands were up next. The duo kept things sweet with an edit-heavy set of swooning classicism. 

Your older brother was probably concieved to Barry White records. Your younger brother's first son is about to be as well. 

NTS' Mr Pedro rolled into esoteric territory schooling the revellers in the joys of basement dwelling deep disco.

The staff toting dancers used the floor as their own private promenade to dazzling effect.

Safe Hands again in their ever so fetching specially made T-shirts. 

I think it was the great Peter Kay who told us that dancers aren't drinkers, and this partygoer is continuing the Wigan Casino tradition of imbibing pure sugary caffeine to ensure she can strut her stuff all night long.  It's on Prelude so no wonder Pedro looks smug before slapping this one on. 

Aaaaaaand here's another batch of Grade A disco destroyers for your delectation. Enjoy.
