  • James Murphy will host a very special Special Disco Version at London's matter in October.
  • This Is Not London welcomes DFA image
  • James Murphy will bring disco to London in October. And when we say disco, we mean Optimo, Morgan Geist, Still Going, Mock & Toof, Babytalk, planningtorock, YACHT, Horse Meat Disco and Gucci Soundsystem. While that may look like just about the entire DFA roster—and friends—we have it on good authority that Murphy's Special Disco Version party will also have some surprises along the way, including an acid set from The Juan Maclean and special lighting from acclaimed musician/artist Gavin Russom. All in all, then, this one looks to be a rather special version of SVD andThis Is London, taking place in London's newest superclub, matter. For those who haven't yet seen the venue, which can claim a bridge that spans across the dance floor three stories in the sky, RA's photographer extraordinaire Nik Torrens took some shots of the club last weekend at its club launch when Carl Cox made his way onto the decks. You can view them here. His assessment? "It has to be seen to be believed!"
