Come along for the launch of Coorie Doon, a hi-fi dance party with a varied and global music policy, inspired by the David Mancuso tradition and the unique dancing spirit of Glasgow, we'd be blessed to host you. In the depth of winter, we ask you to bring open ears and a willingness to let loose. We'll return the favour with a warming embrace of tunes, food, chat and an uplifting space unlike any other in the Glasgow party scene.
See you soon.
Love Saves The Day!
Coorie Doon is a Glasgow dance party built on the uplifting power of music and the collective joy of the dancefloor. We aim to capture the best of a house party experience, whilst being open to all. Our inspiration comes from the ethos of David Mancuso’s radical Loft party. To find out more about our party's values and origins head over to our website.
This is a party for anyone and everyone with a love of music and dancing, particularly those who don't feel at home in the usual commercial club setting – we hope our party offers something different. If you'd like to come along on your own or with friends and feel a bit unsure, get in contact and we'll make sure to introduce you to some folks in our burgeoning community.
Our launch party will be hosted at Civic House in the first floor studio space. With its open plan space, wooden floors and vaulted ceiling, the venue is ideal for hosting our Loft-inspired party and delivering excellent room acoustics and house party atmosphere.
We are delighted to be working with Iain Mackie, of A-Live Sound and Danley Distribution, who will be providing hi-fi quality sound for the party. In addition to installing some of the best sound systems for venues and events around the world (including We Out Here Festival), Iain was a close associate of David Mancuso’s and has been overseeing the sound at the Lucky Cloud parties in London since their early days.
What might you hear on the night? As broad a spectrum as possible. Dance music can often feel tied down by expectations and we want to promote a freedom to explore its potential in a party environment. Our main priority is to play uplifting music that gives energy and brings people together in both a welcoming and intense celebration. Rhythmic, hypnotic and psychedelic sounds are all essentials whether that’s deep spiritual jazz, ecstatic Gospel, house, disco, reggae, cumbia, psychedelic soul, afrobeat...
As a preview you can listen to a mix we recorded that is representative of just some of the music we love. Come with open ears and a readiness to get down.
The doors open at 5pm and Mooli Supperclub will be serving up a modern take on Pakistani vegan food until 8pm. Some food will be available to buy on the night but if you want to guarantee a plate then we strongly recommend buying a ‘Party + Food’ ticket. A bar will also be run by Civic house.
Tickets are £10 for just the party, or £15 if you want to add a plate of Mooli Supperclub’s excellent food. Kids are welcome for free until 8pm. We are also offering a number of free tickets for those who are unemployed – please email us for more information.
Unfortunately the first floor is not fully accessible at this time.
