Every Saturday night, our humble boho lounge at T.L.R. mutates into a discotheque inspired by the timeless decadence of the notorious Studio 54, reimagined here as Disco 31. WWYYZZZRRDDZ, T.L.R.’s resident audiovisual unit, program a series of club nights and a line-up of underground DJs, crystallizing TLR Café’s reputation as one of New Delhi’s most unique and exciting nightlife destinations.

Launching into the new year with a big bang or two, WWYYZZZRRDDZ refresh the Disco 31 format to cover an even wider swathe of time-space, in the post-retro-futuristic realms of Disco 3001. The intergalactic explorers bip & bounce across the known galaxy in search of the unknown, from quazars of gleaming & beaming pop culture references to black holes of forgotten classics & guilty pleasures. Over 50 years ago, the first funk and disco groups were laying down the grooves that all modern dance music emerged from. WWYYZZZRRDDZ seek to forge the broken links between all these eras and genres of dance culture. Starting with original classics from soul, funk, & disco, we move into pop, R&B, hip hop, electro, & house… But we don’t stop there anymore, WWYYZZZRRDDZ bring the new millenium’s fertile fields of new genres with force: the hottest remixes & mash-ups plus global bass, gypsy house, balkan beats, dutch house, parisian filter house, jersey club, baltimore bounce, baile funk, kuduro, kwaito, secousse, shangaan, moombahton, 3bal, cumbia, afrobeat, bollywood, lollywood – it’s all up for grabs in an environment where all dance music forms a single continuum.

14/01/2012 FLASH HARDCOR
Super-villain DJ Flash Hardcor first appeared after a tragic accident during which radioactive particles of undiluted funk overwhelmed the college radio station at which he worked. The only survivor of the accident, Flash HarDcor sought his revenge by forcing hips to shake via a mind control system comprised of soul, electro, baile funk, baltimore club, fuzzy synths, kuduro, gun shot samples, and steel drums. By day, he lives disguised as Kerry Harwin, a nerdy campaigner against climate change. By night, he dons his red jumpsuit in an unending war against the forces of sobriety.

21/01/2012 CIRCUS OF GROOVE feat. ANDRE GARDEJA
TLR is always excited to host André Gardeja for a night of authentic deep minimal techno and European house music. André started his early DJ career already in 1992 performing at Berlins’ legendary house club ‘Walfisch’, known as the world famous ‘Sage Club’ today. His early gigs were followed by regular DJ sets mixed for the unexcelled ‘Studio B’ underground parties in and around Berlin. The next decisive step in André’s career took place in 2001 when as a co-founder he launched the unequalled record label, event series and record store Freizeitglauben. A regular to the most popular venues in Berlin such as Tresor, Maria, Arena Club, Berghain, Dice, Renate, and Bar 25, André Gardeja is now traveling the world to discover new destinations and to pass on his vast experience in DJing to newly emerging music scenes. The great success of his first visit to India in 2009 and the outstanding crowd that bounced to his beats got him hooked on New Delhi.

All the band members are inspired individually by certain various genres, like the guy on the vocals and guitar is into Grunge, Psychedelic, Jazz, Goth and all other peculiar genres giving an unexpected raw touch to their music.The bass guitarist is more into melodic metal, giving a heavy touch to the band’s sound. The band’s drummer is into Thrash and Speed Metal giving a dynamic and speedy touch to the rhythm.
