Virgo Blaktro and the Movie Disco is an album by Felix da Housecat, his first studio album since Devin Dazzle & the Neon Fever in 2004. It was released on October 2, 2007 on Nettwerk Records. The album spans several musical genres including electronic, house music, funk, soul and pop. It was recorded in Barcelona and Antwerp and like Devin Dazzle it is a concept album; this one is centered on the revival of 1970s and 1980s black music.

Felix da Housecat explained his inspiration for the album:

"Future Calls the Dawn" and "Sweet Frosti" were released together as a single prior to the album's release. The music video for "Like Something 4 Porno!" is available to view on Felix da Housecat's official MySpace page.[7]

Virgo Blaktro and the Movie Disco leaked to the internet in its entirety in late August 2007.
