Mr. Disco Kid is bringing the Tokyo record-bag to Marrickville.

Mr. Disco Kid runs a record store in Tokyo with a client list that reads like a Worldwide FM Christmas party — Gilles Peterson, Luke Una, Floating Points. He’s a strictly-vinyl DJ who loves to play stuff that freaks people out. We’re thrilled he’s making his Sydney debut at Heaps Balearic on June 6.

I want to play the records you don’t expect at 3pm. Then play them again at midnight.

He’ll be in town for the long weekend with a heavy bag — Japanese disco edits, Italian library oddities, the kind of US gospel-disco that opens with sixty seconds of preacher before the bassline drops. His Tokyo residency at DJ Bar Bridge is a quiet-but-cult audiophile spot in Shinjuku — think wood, low light, big speakers, no chat.

We’ll be putting the DJ booth in the corner, not on the stage. We want everyone looking at each other, not at MDK. (Sorry MDK.) Tickets are on Moshtix, and last time we did this in summer the bar ran out of mezcal by 6pm. Forewarned.
