As schooldays best friends Andy Smith and Nick Halkes ran a mobile disco together and hunted for bargain 12inch vinyl in their smalltown childhood home near Bristol. At this point they had no idea that in the future Andy would supply beats and tour the world with the band Portishead before being voted one of the top 100 DJ’s on the planet in DJ mag nor that Nick would go on to set up the XL and Positiva labels becoming one of the UKs most respected dance and electronic music industry executives.

From small sweaty basements to festival plays at Parklife ,Bestival, Boardmasters, Shindig, Wilderness, Eastern Electrics, Kendal Calling, Bluedot, Festival No6,Beautiful Days and more it’s been quite a journey for Reach Up Disco Wonderland! When you add to that the spreading of those classic Reach Up good vibes in clubs around the country and further afield in Lisbon, Berlin ,Lagos and (for several summers on the bounce) at Carl Cox’ Ibiza residency it’s something quite beautiful! There’s also a long running Soho Radio show to mention too that makes it even more wonderful.
