When a label like The Disco Express hits its 100th release, it’s not just another milestone, it’s a statement. From sweaty East London loft parties to becoming a global force in modern disco and soulful house, they’ve built a movement that bridges eras. In Dirty Disco episode 614, I already dropped a few cuts from this record, and even then it was clear, this release carries the full heartbeat of what the label stands for.
If you’ve ever danced under mirror balls or got lost in a bassline that feels both vintage and futuristic, chances are you’ve felt The Disco Express energy. Curated by Tom Lilly (aka Bustin’ Loose), the label has become one of London’s most reliable and uplifting imprints. As Juno Daily put it, they “turned loft parties into a leading disco label”, and that’s exactly what TDE has done. It’s a community built on groove, love, and the magic of the dance floor.
This 15-track double LP, TDE100 (100th Release Special), feels like both a love letter and a prophecy. The sound moves effortlessly between house, funk, soul, and disco, always with that timeless warmth and infectious drive. Label head Bustin’ Loose described it perfectly:
“The current dance music climate would not be the same without The Disco Express, it’s about honouring the past while envisioning the future.”
From peak-time heaters to laid-back Sunday grooves, this collection captures every shade of disco emotion.
This compilation is more than music, it’s documentation of an era. The Disco Express built a community around groove, optimism, and inclusivity. In a world of algorithm-driven playlists, TDE100 reminds us why human curation still matters. It’s hand-picked, heartfelt, and bursting with love for disco culture.
And let’s not forget, this isn’t just a London story anymore. From BBC Radio 1 to Purple Disco Machine, The Blessed Madonna, and Demarkus Lewis, the support list reads like a global roll call of modern dance music.
TDE100 feels like a moment to stop, celebrate, and dance. It’s for the believers, the ones who still chase that feeling of connection under the strobes. As I said back in episode 614, The Disco Express doesn’t just release records; they release memories in motion.
If you haven’t already, grab your one-way ticket to The Disco Express via their Bandcamp and stream the full Dirty Disco 614 episode to hear how it sounds in the mix.
Because this train ain’t slowing down anytime soon.
