Disco’s Top 5 Women Artists Who Defined the Dancefloor

Disco isn’t just music - it’s movement, magic and empowerment. And at the mirrorball heart of the genre are the incredible women who gave it its soul, sass, and sparkle. The three things required you bring to a Disco Sisters night.

Here are five top disco's women artists who shaped the sound and stoked the spirit of the dancefloor:

• Donna Summer - The undisputed Queen of Disco. With hits like “I Feel Love” and “Last Dance”, Donna Summer brought glamour and emotion to every track. Her voice defined an era.

• Gloria Gaynor - Her anthem “I Will Survive” is more than a song - it’s a cultural moment. A powerful declaration of resilience, Gloria gave disco its most iconic message of strength.

• Diana Ross - A legend before disco, Diana’s transition into the genre gave us “Love Hangover” and “Upside Down”. Her elegance and energy lit up every dancefloor.

• Chaka Khan (and Disco Sister Caz’s personal favourite disco diva) - With “I’m Every Woman”, Chaka combined funk, soul, and disco into a timeless celebration of feminine power and joy. Just love her. 

• SylvesterThough often overlooked, Sylvester’s incredible falsetto on tracks like “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” broke barriers in both music and identity.

These women didn’t just sing disco—they own it. Disco Sisters defy you not to get on the dancefloor when our incredible DJ Sally K throws one of these down on October 11 at The Big Chill, Kings X, London.
