Pet Shop Boys / Disco 5

Pet Shop Boys are to release new remix compilation, Disco 5, in November, the first in their Disco series since Disco 4 in 2007.

This release features 12 remixes and collaborations, running from 2008’s Symphonic Mix of Sam Taylor-Johnson’s ‘I’m In Love With A German Film Star’ (which Pet Shop Boys also produced) to the duo’s Hot Mix of Tina Turner’s ‘Hot For You Baby’, released in April.

The set doesn’t include two post-Disco 4 remixes: of Lady Gaga’s 2009 single ‘Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)’, or of MGMT’s ‘Kids’ from 2008. However, it does include – in unremixed form – ‘Let The Music Play’, the song Pet Shop Boys produced for former Floy Joy singer Carroll Thompson. 

‘Let The Music Play’ was on soundtrack of Nel Jordan’s 1992 film The Crying Game, for which Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe also produced Boy George’s title theme song. Thompson sang backing vocals on Pet Shop Boys’ first tour in 1989, but the soundtrack – released on PSB’s own Spaghetti label – has long been deleted, with the duo wanting to see ‘Let The Music Play’ available again.

Pet Shop Boys / Hotspot: track by track

Other artists remixed on Disco 5 include Primal Scream, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and The Hidden Cameras. It includes Pet Shop Boys’ Extended Mix of ‘Purple Zone’, their collaborative single with Soft Cell from the latter’s *Happiness Not Included album, and their remix of Sleaford Mods’ cover of ‘West End Girls’. The only Pet Shop Boys song to be remixed is ‘Dreamland’, their duet with former Years & Years singer Olly Alexander from 2020’s Hotspot album (SDE review of that, here).

Disco 5 will be available on CD and black (or orange) double vinyl. The first three Disco albums, released in 1986, 1994 and 2003, focused on remixes of Pet Shop Boys’ own music, before Disco 4 featured their remixes for the likes of The Killers, Madonna, Yoko Ono and Rammstein, as well as their own singles ‘I’m With Stupid’ and ‘Integral’.

Pet Shop Boys have toured their hits concert since the release of both Hotspot and Nonetheless, with its next date planned for Japanese festival Rockin’ On Sonic in January.

Disco 5 is released on 21 November 2025, via Parlophone.
