Steve launches his new monthly Acidiscotech at the Horatia as part of the venues month of free parties.

The Horatia, baptized after the love child of Lady Hamilton & Vice Admiral Nelson, is the labour of love of the team behind Shorditch's highly successful music venue, The Horse & Groom. Their latest effort is a beautiful 400 capacity traditional London boozer with a bumper 2am licence for plenty of evening decadence and debauchery. The sound system has been sourced from the old Cross venue as they intend to host some fantastic guests along the way in February with a fantastic array of free nights with guests like James Priestley (Secretsundaze), Disco Bloodbath’s Damon Martin, Justin Robertson who will be joining us alongside new exciting residencies from Wandy, Tirk Records’s Ben Terry & Matty J, The Discovery boys, Claremont and many more. As you can understand our excitement is bordering the infantile at the prospect of Steve Proctor's monthly residency Acidiscothech launching at the Horatia!

As the New Romantic/Futurist DJ of his time, he is widely seen as to having broken a number of bands onto the scene that have gone on to achieving international stardom such as Duaran Duran, Spandeau Ballet, Ultravox, The Human league, Heaven 17 and ABC. After a brief but productive stint at Polydor Records in 1987, he went back to his love of DJing eventually creating alongside his peers - Danny Rampling, Andrew Weatherall, Terry Farley and Paul Oakenfield to name a few- the movement that came to be defined as Balearic / Acid House.As a producer his releases have been made under the names of Technodelia, Precinct 13, Better Days and The Better Days Project. His label, Better Days, was responsible for tracks released by C-Force, Museka, The Disco Universe Orchestra, Marshall Hain, Mahalia, 2 Fabiola and his own recordings.
