The 2023 edition is taking place on the Scottish Isle of Coll in September, and is set to be as dramatic as exciting as the first.ĭetour Discotheque is taking place on the Scottish Isle of Coll from 22-23 September 2023. It seems you never know exactly what’s going to happen next at Detour Discotheque. The rest of the crowd appears to have already disappeared into the dawn mist. The event’s scheduled bus to the slightly less remote town of Isafjörður sails by with only one person on it. Three men, inexplicably painting the inside of a nearby house at this time in the morning, invite us all in for an after-party. Apparently, the Northern Lights had been wheeling across the skies above us as we danced inside. Those in the hall at 3am(ish-once Norsicaa was dragged off the decks) on Sunday morning gather together to pose for a photo taken from the DJ booth evidence they made it to the bitter end, before walking home in an ethereal, early dawn light. Detour Discotheque 2022 was something entirely new and unique, seeing curious people from entirely contrasting backgrounds, at all different stages of life, sharing one special weekend on the dance floor together. Still, while all of these vivid experiences will no doubt stand out in our travel memories, they are already woven into Iceland’s tourist trail. The crowd enjoys Chicago Rahaan’s Saturday night set. The landscape we saw both from thousands of feet on high and once grounded was unlike anything we’d ever witnessed: dramatic black crevasses criss-crossed with snow like icing, peppered with moss and wild grasses and noticeably naked of trees. After sampling its appropriately famed restaurant scene at Apothek (trying Arctic char for the first time, caught just a few feet away) and its bustling, creative clusters of bars, we boarded the tiny plane to the Westfjords. We spent a night wandering the surprisingly low-level, multi-colored little streets of Reykjavik, stunned every time we spotted mountains at the end of the roads. And it’s what else you squeeze onto your itinerary in a wholly different place on earth from the one you know back home, or have even experienced on other, more traditional trips. It’s all the people you meet on your travels. It’s the travel there (one dedicated British woman hitch-hiked from France as part of a summer of backpacking). It’s the preparation beforehand (combining packing for both a one-off Seventies-themed night out and Icelandic between-season weather). You don’t even have to really love disco, to be honest. Throw in some blue-sky thinking triggered by a boundary-shifting global pandemic, and the idea for Detour Discotheque was crystallized.īut going to a remote Detour Disco is far from being just about the club nights themselves. ![]() “There was something so special about the vibe at the venue, I knew I had to share it with more people,” he says. His hosts took him to the annual Hjónaball–a couple’s dance in the village hall – and the rest is disco history. During Jonny’s visit, a snowstorm meant his return flight had to be postponed, leaving him with a surprise extra night in town. The village is accessible via a short domestic flight from Reykjavík on a small, 30-seater plane, landing in a narrow, often windy valley that only top-level pilots can handle (the standard of the local pilots is a matter of pride), followed by a 45-minute drive. ![]() He was there to write an article about a co-working space that had opened the summer before, Blábankinn aka The Blue Bank, intrigued by the fact that true digital nomads could now travel to such remote places. Editor, DJ and Detour Discotheque founder Jonny Ensall first visited the village in 2018. We have snow to thank for the choice of venue.
