..see also SAJ Mystery Thread...Venues such as Slip Disc were simply referred to as "Disco" right from the very late 60's to 70's on in Cinema...(When Zep played, the "audience" could not tell the difference between two styles of music...they were western music entertainers...excluding the select few musicians who were present...
Slip Disc Venue Article...
Before the night club and street action moved to Bandra, Mumbai’s night life was centred around south Mumbai’s Colaba Causeway. Shantaram, Gregory David Roberts’ fictional character in his book of the same name, spent most of his life negotiating its labyrinths. Mumbai’s first discotheque, Slip Disc, opened here in the 1970s. However, over time, this one-time bastion of bohemianism, even sleaze, has transformed into a premium drinking and dining haunt for the glitterati of south Mumbai.
During the 1970s and the 1980s, Colaba’s 2-km ‘action district’ was dominated by an assortment of sailors, students, hippies and hookers. Sailors from the neighbouring Indira Docks descended on the all-night bars and brothels, the hippies congregated at Hotel Stiffles, hookers abounded around Blue Nile, the popular striptease joint, and college kids danced away their afternoons at Slip Disc, which used to open for business rather early to accommodate students.
In the 1980s, police closed down Blue Nile and Slip Disc was replaced by Sab Bistro, a fine-dining restaurant, which later made way for Voodoo Bar, a popular gay bar.
...Now, Colaba has gotten over its sleaze boom, it is returning to being a lifestyle hotspot. Azmi and his ilk must ensure that a Blue Nile does not return, but a Slip Disc does.
