Coffee Break: Disco!

July 02, 2025

Break out your boogie shoes because Wednesday is National Disco Day! The unofficial holiday that celebrates the glitz, glamour, and exuberance of the 1970s started in New Zealand before making its way to other parts of the globe.
The genre's popularity waned in the 80s, but its upbeat tempo and mix of funk and soul are still a staple on the dance floor. Today, let’s get down on it by creating a playlist worthy of a discotheque!
So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what disco or disco-inspired songs would you like to hear?
