The first three ‘Disco’ albums primarily featured remixes of Pet Shop Boys’ tracks by other producers and DJs, with ‘Disco’ released in 1986. ‘Disco 2’ followed in 1994, before ‘Disco 3’ arrived in 2003.

Then, in 2007, ‘Disco 4’ included Pet Shop Boys’ remixes of other major artists such as Madonna and The Killers.

Pet Shop Boys released their 15th and latest studio album, ‘Nonetheless’, in April 2024. In a four-star review, NME hailed the project as “the sublime sound of pop’s standard-bearers continuing to hone their craft”.
