For a while I've been thinking about creating a history of disco mix, picking out some of the great tracks that symbolise the disco era. Meanwhile I recommend listening to Steve Greenberg's podcast "Speed of sound". Four of his podcast's episodes take you on a fascinating musical journey from Nazi occupied Paris to disco dominating American Top 40 radio. Definitely worth downloading.
And if you want more, subscribe to Discodave's Spotify playlist, The Disco Files 1970-78, which includes all the tracks he could find from Vince Aletti's book "The Disco Files".

I’m thrilled to include Cerrone’s latest collaboration with Asa Taccone of Electric Guest as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Cerrone’s seminal “Love In C Minor”.
Disco never left, it just kept evolving. This month's mix keeps the floor moving with a run of extended cuts, boogie dubs and club reworks — from Purple Disco Machine's glossy "Disco Cherry" and DJ Spen's rework of the El Coco classic "Cocomotion," through to fresher heat like T.Markakis's "Frisco Disco" and JØRD's "Get Funky, Get Down." Expect nu-disco, boogie and club-focused energy throughout, with a few surprises pulled from pre-release and DJ-exclusive promos along the way.
Welcome to May's Locked On Disco, which has a slightly deeper and soulful feel, featuring Sabroso, Michael Gray and Sian-Lee, Anane, Risk Assessment, Hotmood, Mark Funk, Danny Cruz and Anna Ingram, Jay Caruso, DJ Fudge and Kiko Navarro, Sean Scanlon and Da Lukas, and Curtis Zack. Enjoy!
Welcome to another hour of the very best in disco, mixed with love in London.
Hey - sorry I missed you in November, but I was busy working on new material, and I've included a couple of exclusive new tracks here for you in this mix. First up is a remix of a track from my first album. The track is called "Maybe I'm Gay". It's a song about self-empowerment and is for anyone who has ever felt othered. It's from the album "The Gift" which you can stream and download everywhere. Here's a link to Apple Music, and to Spotify. All proceeds from this album go to Alzheimer's Research. Right now I'm putting the finishing touches to a Spanish language version of the album. Each track is uniquely Spanish and I've used the language to create a new interpretation of each song. In fact some tracks are quite different. Plus I've written and recorded some new material only in Spanish. It's all scheduled for release on Friday 23rd January 2026. Watch this space.
