Meet the DJs
Andy Westbrook
Andy’s musical journey started in his late teens, shaped by the euphoric early days of UK club culture with legendary nights at Shoom, Tonka, and the Ministry of Sound. The explosion of energy drew him to London in 1990, where he built an incredible career playing alongside DJ royalty like DJ Harvey, Danny Rampling, and Norman Jay. Having held a residency at the iconic venue The Cross, Andy has played countless nights that defined an era. Now, he’s back in Suffolk and behind the decks, bringing all the passion and joy that started it all.
Disco DJ Mac
Mac’s path began with a deep love for hip hop, until a life-changing, transformative night at Pikes in Ibiza rewired everything. That experience unlocked the vibrant disco sound that now sits at the absolute heart of his musical identity. Mac’s selections are warm, instinctive, and rooted in a true collector’s obsession. Expect the highest quality tunes—in fact, if it doesn’t come on a 7″ vinyl, it doesn’t make the show!
No Fillers. No Shortcuts.
Together, Andy and Mac host Discoteca. It’s simple: just two friends who love music, playing the incredible records they love for a crowd that wants to dance. It’s going to be an intimate, high-energy night with an amazing soundtrack from start to finish.
