Shifty Disco was a British independent record label based in Oxford, England.[1]

The record label was started by local enthusiasts in January 1997[2] and their early releases were often featured by John Peel on his BBC Radio 1 show.[1] Shifty Disco has released recordings by artists such as Beulah, Mark Gardener, Unbelievable Truth,[3] and Young Knives.

One of Shifty Disco's early, defining initiatives was the Shifty Disco singles club which released a new single every month to subscribers.[2] A compilation of all the Singles Club releases was released as a 5-CD set in 2002: 0-60 In Five Years - The Complete Shifty Disco Singles Club Collection.[4]
