Little-known Belgian disco from ’75-’87 collected in new two-part compilation

30 hidden-gems across 4 LPs.

A collection of Belgian disco and groove tracks from 1975-1987 called Discophilia Belgica will be released across a two-part double vinyl offering, via Sdban Records this November.

Discophilia Belgica was compiled by Loud E & The Wild, and features an array of disco sounds from artists and groups who have remained relatively unknown.

Sdban describes the musicians as “ordinary folk” and shares that most of them never performed their tracks live.  

Sdban also explained that the abundance of recording facilities in Belgium lead to sonic experimentations taking place by unknown artists, and those who just wanted to release a track in small pressings.

Listen to the spaced-out disco driver ‘Cosmos 81’ from The Rogers below:

Sdban Records has previously released a compilation of Belgian jazz music from 1950-1970s, and earlier this year, Lefto compiled a selection of modern jazz from the country.
