This Halloween, Dalston’s music and arts festival LAND OF KINGS returns for a one-night, one-off Dungeon Disco in East London’s only cave to celebrate the spookiest night of the year, the promoters are promising the Darkest Disco Dalston has ever seen.

Hosted in the depths of the Stone Cave venue, LAND OF KINGS will be shackling Metronomy, Skull Juice, Soft Rocks, Johnny Rock and Living In A Disco DJs to the decks for a freaky fancy dress fiesta.

Tickets for the event are free and can be won by simply visiting and becoming a fan of Land of Kings on Facebook. There will be a limited tickets available on the night on the door, but be warned party goers in fancy dress will be the most welcome.

Topping the bill of tricks and treats for the night will be an uber-rare Metronomy DJ set. Winning coveted support slots with Justice, Bloc Party and Klaxons early on in their career, the band are now in the final leg of their own headline tour, recently packing out Kentish Town’s Forum. Snap up this opportunity to see front man and founder Joe Mount on the decks in such close quarters. Scarily good.Having remixed the likes of Roots Manuva, Gorillaz and Franz Ferdinand to name but three, Joe knows how to freak-out the coolest of ‘floors.

Next up, Skull Juice are DJ tag-team Alex and Ben. Born of their other sideline, Bloggers Delight, these boys have a love for fusing heavy metal, techno and disco to explosive effect. As their creepily monikered selves, they’re sure to get the skeletons rattlin’ dem bones in the grotto disco. Soft Rocks, meanwhile, are half-Dalston, half Brighton-based collective and producers who’s obsession lies with obscure, undiscovered and eclectic tracks whilst Johnny Rock will be throwing some Turkish psyche and disco into his signature scuzzy house sound.

Finally, basement tricksters Living In A Disco DJs complete the bill spinning the kind of “smashing disco pumpers, glitzy electroid thumpers and 90s dance rumpers” that see them regularly pack out E8 basements with dedicated party people.

The Halloween Dungeon Disco also acts as the six month marker for LAND OF KINGS Festival 2010, a two day festival in Kingsland Road planned for April next year.
