We’re just into the second half of September and the summer holidays are officially over (boo!). So for this month’s playlist I thought I’d try and liven up your back-to-work/school blues with a bit of disco. Arguably one of my favourite genres of music, disco is something that will forever put me in the mood for a boogie. And I’m hoping it might have the same effect on you this month!
Disco in September
Earlier in the year you might remember me sharing my February Funk playlist. If you enjoyed giving it a listen then this will definitely be one for you too! I’ve found that there’s quite a bit of an overlap between funk and disco music. Which is probably the reason why I love both genres so much! Both funk and disco just have a feel good factor to them when you listen. Don’t you think?
My Favourites from the Playlist…
Over the summer I managed to give Saturday Night Fever a watch and absolutely loved it. The soundtrack was definitely a favourite part for me. So of course, some of my favourite tracks on the playlist were from the film. More specifically the kings of disco; The Bee Gees. I’ve been a fan of The Bee Gees for years but watching the film reminded me of their amazing music. My favourite track being More Than A Woman.
A few other favourites are Sister Sledge’s Lost in Music and Love Come Down by Evelyn “Champagne” King. But, if I’m completely honest, I love every single track on this playlist. I can definitely see myself listening to this when I’m getting myself ready to head out in the evening. Or even just to have a little boogie to in the house.
Have you listened to disco music before? What are some of your favourite tracks to listen to? Are there any songs/artists that are completely new to you? I’d love to know in the comments.

Glad you enjoyed the playlist! It’s such a tune isn’t it haha x
This is so upbeat! I have to admit I never usually listen to disco but it’s the kinda thing that makes me so happy the second I hear it, so I have no idea why I don’t listen to it more. This playlist is amazing x

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I think disco is one of those genres that everyone forgets about in their everyday listening but as soon as they remember it exists they love it x
The Bee Gees!!! I absolutely adore them; my favourite track by them is probably “Night Fever.” I always add at least one of their songs to my monthly playlists :’)
Night Fever is a classic! I had to do a dance to it when I was about 9 years old and loved it x
Disco music will never get old! Its so easy to feel happy when you’re listening to all the greats. If you haven’t seen The Get Down on Netflix, there’s a lot of disco influence in that and also the soundtrack has banger after banger!
Agreed! Disco is such a feel good genre. I’ve never heard of The Get Down but will definitely be checking it out! x
Oh my gosh some of these tunes are proper throwback songs, I love the variety. Thanks for sharing x

I’m not a massive fan of disco music but then again you have added some Stella songs to the playlist (voulez-vous has to be my favourite on there)! x
Haha glad I could somewhat sway you towards to grooves of disco! Voulez-vous is a BOP x
Love this post and bloody love a bit of disco!
Thank you! Gotta love a bit of disco x
Amazing songs! Not what I’d usually listen too, but when I do listen to music like this it always makes me feel good. Chakka Khan – I’m every woman is SUCH a tune!

Glad to see that I’ve hopefully inspired you to listen to a bit more of disco! That’s my whole aim with these monthly playlists – inspiring people to give other genres of music a listen x
Never lost my love of disco. Disco Inferno. I will Survive. Funky Town. Le freak by Chic. Cheryl Lynn – Got To Be Real
This new era can’t beat the old school.
