Horse Meat Disco

Horse Meat Disco have been at the forefront of the disco revival since their inception in London in 2003. Founded by DJs James Hillard and Jim Stanton, later joined by Luke Howard and Severino, the collective gained notoriety for their legendary Sunday night residency at The Eagle in Vauxhall, a club night that quickly became the capital’s preeminent dance destination for lovers of disco, house, Italo and rare boogie gems. Renowned for their inclusive, open-minded ethos and hedonistic spirit, Horse Meat Disco played a pivotal role in revitalizing London’s LGBTQ+ night-life, championing preservation and exploration of disco’s rich queer history.

The group’s prowess behind the decks evolved onto the global stage, taking the Horse Meat Disco sound across Europe, the Americas, Australia, and Asia with headline sets at festivals like Glastonbury, Bestival, Primavera Sound, Djoon, Dekmantel, and beyond. Their signature “Anything goes” approach infuses their selections, balancing classics, deep-dive rarities, irresistible edits, and fresh productions to create energetic, euphoric crowd experiences. Horse Meat Disco’s recorded output extends their curatorial magic, with multiple lauded compilations for Strut Records and their acclaimed 2020 debut album “Love & Dancing” on Glitterbox/Defected.

The album showcased their love for disco’s past, present, and future, featuring standout collaborations with Amy Douglas, Kathy Sledge, and Fiorious, earning praise from both critics and dance music fans. Their in-demand remixes and edits have seen them rework the likes of Sade, Sylvester, and Roisin Murphy. As tastemakers, they host a long-running radio show on Rinse FM, formerly on Red Bull Radio and BBC Radio 1.

Horse Meat Disco’s influence on club culture is enduring, rooted in a joyful, communal celebration of music that continues to push boundaries and unite diverse crowds on dancefloors around the world.
