Today is Wednesday.
Yesterday was Tuesday.
Tomorrow will be Thursday.
Where am I going with this nonsense?
Thursday nights, the nights following Wednesday nights and preceding Friday nights, are all about KNIGHTRIDERS! @ Saphir!
This week, Loose Joints will be invited to mix alongside JulianC and La Débauche, to bring some old-school disco flavor to the Saphir's top floor! Their goal: to get your body moving to the sounds and beats of timeless electronic disco and Italo disco. Bring back the 80s!
Knightriders! is going in a different direction this month, distancing itself from the head-banging hardcore electro, and going for a smoother sound and more musical approach. The top floor provides the best in house, tech-house, minimal-tech and disco.
For a 5$ cover paid on the TOP FLOOR, boys get a free shooter and girls get free drinks until midnight.

There's very little quite so satisfying and stress-relieving than a whirling throng of sweaty young revelers boogying down to the visceral, thumping sonic serotonin that is old-school disco, from the sweet strings of New York to the synthetic revision of the Italo set to the dark, guttural psychedelia of groups like Black Devil.
It's an uplifting style of music that ranges from foolish and flippant to deadly serious, but one thing reigns it all in: every single funky bass line, twinkling synth, catchy verse and cheesy string line is engineered to get your booty movin'. And that's just what two of the city's key disco pushers, Loose Joints and the All-Rounder, are coming together to do this weekend.
"I had really only been aware of Loose Joints since last summer," says organizer Jay Watts III, "and was intrigued by what they were doing. At the same time, I started the All-Rounder at Korova, and noticed that people were really responding to disco."
Attendees at Body Work: Electronic Disco Spectacle can expect '70s-style oil-colour light projections and tunes by names like Montreal's Gino Soccio, Creative Connection, Kano, Jimmy Ross and many other classic artists. The resurging popularity of disco on the Plateau has become notably more visible over the past year, aided by groups such as these two. "Not cheesy stuff, necessarily, but not just esoteric Italo either."
