Young Cister, Kreamly - QLOO_ [INSTRUMENTAL]

It’s with mixed feelings I have worked on this year’s edition of the ongoing Discoholics Anonymous series. Two artists that were on my list since year one can never do me the honor of gracing this series with their immense talent and love for music. In March the devastating news of Andy Williams (Yam Who?’s) death shocked the tightly knit Disco community at it’s very foundation. Suddenly one of the brightest reflections in the disco ball’s multi-facets turned dark forever. 

In November Stephen Richards left our realm and joined Andy in the lounge with Donna Summer, The Gibb brothers, Sylvester, Dan Hartman, Loleatta Holloway, Larry Levan, Walter Gibbons and all the other stars of the disco realm. I would have loved to share a mutual experience of bringing the joy of their art to you guys, and making this cumbersome world a tad more palatable. 

I am forever grateful to the funkateers who very generously gave their art for me to share with you this year. From Greece came Dim Zach, From Italy came Lup Ino, from Ireland came Dexter Jones, From New Zealand came The Loneliest Hunk, from England came Ben Banjo Field, Fray Bentos, Chewy Rubs and Ben Jamin, from Germany came FINAL DJS and Dee-Bunk, from Austria came Tunesmith, and from France came DoctorSoul. All with hundreds of years of artistry between them, tens of thousands of hours of DJing between them, all with a mutual mission: To make you feel the vibes of the weekend, liberty, love and unity through their music. Music with I get to give to you and thus mark another incredible year for Discoholics Anonymous.

I shan’t go into numbers or boring details about demographics and plays, suffice to say that Discoholics Anonymous more than ever plays a very central part in many people’s way of finding cool music on the internet. If I could gather you all in one place no major city in this world would be able to carry the pressure it would genrerate. I quite like the idea of that, and hope that the happiness we all derive from this style of music can somehow impact the cosmic field of love and energy that binds us all together as people in the end. 

You guys are what drives me to keep on writing reviews, sharing premieres, releasing the tracks I personally fall in love with , and curate with Martin and Mauro on Hot To The Touch, which now airs in three countries in Europe: Greece, Ireland and England. Thanks to Yiannis from Prime Radio for still airing the show in prime time every Friday, thanks to Cole Kutz from Opentempo for airing it at 12AM so that the continental funkers can dig the vibes during daytime there and for always plugging us on his own amazing Friday night shenanigans on Opentempo. Also a big thanks to the good people on NDC Radio who make us sound good across the UK and for making the show 4 minutes longer, every week. That’s a lot more Disco than most people think if you add up the minutes!

Thanks to my wife Rebecca for letting me stay in the disco liar, The Disco Waltons, Pete Ellison & Greg Middleton from Feel Good Friday for letting me be substitute teacher every now and then, Igor Gonya for sticking by me with premieres both ways and good and honest advice and occasional drinks across the world, all the labels and artists who submitted premieres for discoanon.com over the year. It’s been incredible to be able to give you such an insane amount of the freshest and whackest tracks in the world. To the more then 1900 people who’ve supported me through kind donations on Bandcamp and PayPal. You are directly the people who make it possible for me to keep on delivering quality content every week, every month, every year since 2019. My heart is humble and I’m so grateful to be able to keep this going for 6 years now and to be able to see it still growing and finding new engagements across the planet. 

THANK YOU! 

SEE YOU IN 2026.

Herbie - Starz (Pete Le Freq's Short Refreq)

If there’s anyone who prompts the question “When does he find time to make that?” it’s serial editor and remixer Pete Le Freq. For more than 20 years he’s been reworking disco and funk classics as label boss of Alpaca Edits and Llama Farm Recordings, updating originals with a distinctive dance‑floor edge. His prolific remixes have been played by DJs worldwide — he’s a regular at Beatherder, made his Ring stage debut this summer alongside Utah Saints and Jaegerossa, and is a Mastermix remixer alongside Ben Liebrand, Sgt Slick and DJ S. He’s shared decks with Young Pulse, Michael Gray, Craig Charles, Dr Packer and Jo Whiley, and already has dates booked for 2026. 

Simply put:  he makes what he loves in the headphones come out the big speakers.
