Buttoned Down Disco
Buttoned Down Disco is a large and long-running London nightclub playing indie and electro founded by Christian Laing and Rachel Laing in 2002, with Christian as the resident DJ.
The first night was in October 2002. The location of the club was revealed after an electronic invitation was requested. A pioneering concept at the time. In 2006, Buttoned Down Disco became a resident at KOKO. Buttoned Down Disco has also taken place in major festivals including Glastonbury, Lovebox, Reading and Latitude.
Buttoned Down Disco took its name from the third track from Cornershop's disco inspired album Disco and the Halfway to Discontent as part of their side-project, Clinton. The club then influenced the song "M.R.S.T." by The Electric Riot where "Buttoned Down Discos" were mentioned in the lyrics.
