The Ultimate Indie Disco
Regular listeners to Gideon Coe's daily show will be familiar with his INDIE DISCO YEARS feature. We love it so much that we went on a quest to find the nation's best ever indie disco, past or present.
And we are delighted to announce the final winner of the 6 Music's Ultimate Indie Disco is...... OFFBEAT at Sheffield University. Find out more information about the night.
Listen throughout the day to 6 Music to hear Ultimate Indie Disco tracks played in chunks throughout the shows. The tracks are all suggested by the Offbeat organisers, based on the criteria of Offbeat dancefloor popularity, by coverage of the genres and the period they attempt to span, and the results of their annual 'festive 10' and of the alltime Offbeat poll they held to mark their 100th Offbeat last year.
