Australian music icons Rogue Traders are back and ready to take over the dance floor with their infectious new single, Dirty Dirty Disco — a high-energy, feel-good club anthem that brings together the powerhouse vocals of Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Dannii Minogue for the very first time.
Bursting with euphoric hooks, pulsating beats and undeniable disco energy, Dirty Dirty Disco is all about letting go, turning the music up and losing yourself in the moment. Equal parts nostalgic and fresh, it’s the kind of track made for late nights, festival stages and packed dance floors.
The collaboration sees Dannii Minogue lend her unmistakable vocals alongside Natalie Bassingthwaighte, creating a powerhouse pairing of two of Australia’s most celebrated female voices.
More than two decades after helping redefine Australian electro-pop with hits including Voodoo Child, Watching You and In Love Again, Rogue Traders prove they still know exactly how to make a track that demands to be played loud.
“Dirty Dirty Disco is about that feeling when the lights go down, the music comes on and nothing else matters,” says James Ash of Rogue Traders. “We wanted to make a song that feels fun, unapologetic and impossible not to dance to — and having Dannii join Natalie on the track made it even more special.”
For Dannii Minogue, whose career and catalogue have long been synonymous with pop and dance music, the collaboration was a natural fit.
“It’s time to disco again. This track was an absolute joy to create with James and Natalie from Rogue Traders. It has a throbbing beat, glamorous swag, and a bounce in the groove that makes me want to dance. Enjoy this track served as a Daytime Disco — just add sunglasses — or for a night in full flight!”
Natalie Bassingthwaighte says teaming up with Dannii was just as much fun behind the scenes.
“Teaming up with Dannii was incredible – she’s an absolute superstar and we had so much fun working on this together.
“For me, it has everything you want from a great dance record – pure disco, a killer beat and the energy that brings that instant feel-good factor. We had an absolute blast making the video; the outfits, the glamour, the lights, the movement – it captures everything we love about the song.”
The accompanying music video brings that disco energy to life with a slick, high-glam celebration of music, movement, fashion and fun.
As Rogue Traders continue to evolve their sound while honouring the music that made them a household name, Dirty Dirty Disco is a bold reminder that they still know how to own the dance floor.
And there is even more reason to celebrate, with Rogue Traders marking 21 years with their national anniversary tour, The Anthems. New dates have been added across October and November 2026, bringing together more than two decades of hits and celebrating the songs that helped define an era of Australian dance music.
Dirty Dirty Disco is available on all streaming platforms from Thursday, September 10, 2026.
Tickets for The Anthems tour are on sale now at Rogue Traders.
