Pioneering Oxford-based independent label, Shifty Disco, celebrated its 10th Anniversary on 27th January, 2007. To commemorate the occasion, Shifty Disco released a triple CD compilation album, shiftydisco10. Radio 1 kicked things off with a Live Session at Maida Vale with The Race and Paperlung and then four of the acts from the label, including My Device, winners of NME.com’s Breaking Bands competition, played a celebratory gig at The Luminaire, Kilburn on Friday 26th January, followed by several dates around the country.
Shifty Disco was launched initially as the Shifty Disco CD Singles Club, with the label releasing 2-track CD singles monthly to 500 willing subscribers who signed up, in trust, in advance. The CD Singles Club ran for 6 and a half years until the label switched it over to a Weekly Download Singles Club in the middle of 2003. Its 5th birthday in January 2002 was marked by a Birthday bash at Maida Vale which was broadcast live by John Peel.
Heralded for being one of the few labels who made records on individual merit, Shifty Disco in its early years, released albums from every corner of the globe, including those by Dustball, AM60, Nought, Beulah, Elf Power, Jack Drag, and Unbelievable Truth. Shifty Disco then came across a burgeoning talent in its own backyard. Oxford’s The Young Knives were thrown into the studio and both the 7-track "...Are Dead" mini-album and the 4-track "Rollerskater" EP came out the other side.
Since 2003 the label has used the Download Singles Club as its source of discovery of all things shiny and new; the results being various singles and albums from The Race (Reading) who will be releasing their second album "In My Head It Works" in March 09, King Of Spain (London), Meister (Tokyo), Domes Of Silence (Oxford), Seagull Strange (Bristol), The Unisex (Stockholm), Paperlung (London) fronted by ex-Boo Radley Sice and My Device (Brighton).
