Disco4: Part 1 (stylized DISCO4 :: PART I) is the fifth studio album by American noise rock band Health. It was released on October 16, 2020 through Loma Vista Recordings. Speaking on the album the band said “In the past each HEALTH LP has been accompanied by a corresponding remix record, this time, despite being called DISCO 4 in the interest of continuity, we offer you a collection of original collaborations with artists we admire. Also, FUCK 2020.”[3] The album is notable for having been made over years, some of the collaborations, like HATE YOU with JPEGMAFIA, DELICIOUS APE with Xiu Xiu, and MASS GRAVE with Soccer Mommy were previously released, however it includes new tracks like POWER FANTASY with 100 gecs and the only non-collaborative song on the album, CYBERPUNK 2.0.2.0.

The name of the song CYBERPUNK 2.0.2.0. is likely based on the tabletop game of the same name, Cyberpunk 2020,[4] since HEALTH was announced to be appearing on the soundtrack of its then-upcoming videogame adaptation, Cyberpunk 2077. An original song by the band, "Major Crimes", plays on an in-game radio station, but all contributing artists have taken on pseudonyms for the Cyberpunk world, with HEALTH's being Window Weather.[5]

The album was generally well received, with KEXP saying "The album coheres surprisingly well, with the sound being a dark, ominous blend of industrial, noise-rock, metal, and electronic styles."[6] According to the North American College and Community Radio Chart Top 200 charts the album peaked at 29 the week of November 10th.[7]
