Disco has kept the world moving and grooving for years. Its peak was in the 70s as it dominated the charts and powered places like Studio 54 in New York . Originally the preserve of the outsider, Disco flourished in the 70s and 80s managing to challenge rocks chart dominance and drive minority sounds into the mainstream, elucidating through dance rich veins of music culture such as soul, funk and jazz which could now occupy their rightful place on the dancefloor: beneath the disco ball.
The genre is far from dated as over the decades fresh things have fused with its core dancefloor focused principles creating multiple sub-genres and spin-offs. Daft Punk have made it as relevant in 2013 as it ever was with their homage album “Random Access Memories” topping charts.
This mix features a plethora of artists both new and old to illustrate the power that disco possesses. Have a listen and enjoy.
