Scissor Sister's Ana Matronic handpicks big disco hits and dance floor rarities for your listening pleasure. Warm yourself with tracks from Hot Chocolate, Fatback Band, The Hues Corporation and Carl Douglas.

Another of Ana's fellow Radio 2 presenters is ready to leap up to the decks at the office Christmas party - which killer dance-floor filler will Sara Cox choose to keep the disco party swinging? Will she pick a track from her favourite decade, the 80s? Hmmmm....

The Wayback Track continues, celebrating a date in disco history - tonight's comes from a former Miss New York State winner. And of course there's the non-stop Dance Praise mix, crafted by Ms. Matronic with lots of love, and all her devotion. The mix this week is an eclectic affair with tracks from Bohannon, The Isley Brothers, and Haircut 100.
