Playlist of the Week: Nu-Disco Upbeat by Disco Jelly

Does the word “Disco” instinctively bring out images of John Travolta in a white suit dancing to Saturday Night Fever? Does it remind you of your parents’ dancing which embarrassed you time and time again at social events? One thing is for sure, there was a lot of empathic pointing at random points in the ceiling, and it feels just so old! 

Well, disco has been experiencing a comeback over the past decade. Slap some synths, electro beats, and the little word “Nu” in front of it and it’s made for the young again. No, “Nu” does not stand for the Greek numeral for the number 50, it is the new way to spell “new” (excessive letters are so 2000-late). 

Today Nu-disco is everything that inspires dancing, a sort of electronic hack on the catchy dancefloor tunes of the late 70’s with the same goal: move as many feet as possible. So here you go: an excellent upbeat Nu-Disco playlist with 20 hoppy, pulsing, and energetic tunes to keep you dancing courtesy of resident Nu Disco expert: Disco Jelly, make sure you subscribe to them on Whyd!
