2000-2003 Disco
At the start of the decade of the 2000s, a substantial number of new disco
("neo-disco")
songs were released, and a few of them became big hits. (Admittedly,
sometimes the line between disco and house music gets blurred, and some
of these songs can also be classified as "disco-house", and are so
indicated.) The list that
follows includes some original disco songs created and released during
the early 2000s (where the lyrics and melodies are original), plus selected
remakes, plus songs that sample other disco songs and have a disco flavor
all their own (these are listed with reference to the elements that have
been copied). Among the period's best disco productions are "Murder
on the Dancefloor" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, "Should I Let Him Go?" by The
Company, "Get Down to the Music" by James Taylor Quartet,
and "Mude o Baile" by BsB Disco Club.
