The English Disco Lovers movement aims to reclaim and redefine the much hated EDL-acronym. They humorously subvert the three letters, drawing on the positivity of the Disco music genre and the history of Disco as a haven for minorities. The movement attempts to tackle Islamophobia and racism in an engaging and unusual way, by spreading a message of equality through music.

Since the group's inception they have amassed 60,000 Facebook likes, 10,000 Twitter followers and Google-bombed the search term 'EDL'. They have been featured in the Guardian, Time Out London and Mixmag. They've performed at Glastonbury, Shambala, Kendal Calling and Playgroup Festivals - spreading their “Don't Hate! Gyrate!” message and also been shortlisted for the National Diversity Awards 2013. The English Disco Lovers have even been featured in a music video, which was nominated for the UK Music Video Awards and received support from Nile Rodgers!
