Review
Genre and Mood
Kellerkind’s Disco On the Dancefloor is Swiss deep house with a title that says what it is for. Discogs files both the single and the album it comes from under deep house and tech house. It is groovy, a club track first, and celebratory, at least in its video, which turns the track into a birthday party.
Song Summary
Kellerkind is the alias of Marco Biagini, who wrote and produced the track. Sirion Records released it on 24 February 2012 as a 12-inch, catalogue number SR030, with the original mix and a Channel X remix on side A and another Kellerkind track, Triple Distilled, on side B, in its original mix and a remix by Animal Trainer. In April the track came out again as the second of thirteen tracks on Basement Story, Kellerkind’s album on the same label, which is the yearbook’s copy. The record’s notes name Burgergemeinde Bern, Kultur Stadt Bern and Kultur Kanton Bern, the civic and cultural funds of the city and canton of Bern.
Musical Breakdown
Main Section
No review we could find describes Disco On the Dancefloor part by part, so this page describes less and leaves the listening to you. The sources give its length, five minutes fifty-five in the original mix, and its style. Listen for how a track of that length takes its time.
Concepts in Focus
The music video, an idea of the director Jan Mühlethaler, was shot at KAPITEL Bollwerk in Bern. Its credits read like a small film: Nina Bühlmann as the birthday girl, a waiter, a dancing couple, a vinyl birthday cake, lights and a crowd of extras. The song has no story to tell, so the video gives it one.
The single carries a remix by Channel X, which is also on the album. Ten years later, in July 2022, Sirion released Ten Years Disco On The Dancefloor: the original mix of 2012, a remake by Gorge, one by Youen, and one by Kellerkind himself. That last one is an alternate version rather than a remix, the same artist rebuilding his own track a decade on.
Artistic Context
Kellerkind, German for a child of the cellar, is Swiss, and his Bandcamp page gives Zürich as his home. When he returned to the label Stil vor Talent in 2026, it called him one of its earliest companions. Animal Trainer, the duo behind the B-side remix, also remixed Jan Blomqvist – Big Jet Plane (Animal Trainer Remix). The album also has a track called Bollwerk, the name of the club in the video.
Impact and Reception
The track returned to Sirion’s catalogue ten years on, with three remakes, a sign of how long it lasted in the label’s story. It is on this playground as one of the owner’s songs of 2018. Put it on at a party and see who dances first.
