For starters.

Fuck, we might as well make this a 70's sound music appreciation thread. The GOAT

If ya'll got record players, owning disco records for it is a must

Nothing bad. Just that if anyone at the bore was gonna ride for disco my money would have been on you.

disco was in fact as rad as shit. Perhaps were it not for the fact that the Bee Gees became the standard bearers of the genre it would be better remembered today.

I don't even think it was that. It just came a time that was pretty much rock or nothing else. People just weren't ready for something that wasn't guitar music to dominate, destroy and take over like disco did. Particularly people in places that weren't club hot spots (major cities).

Technically, disco didn't die. It just got a name change. After the Disco Destruction night, they went into post-disco and eventually "dance" music. And that dance music started to transform into a lot of different stuff. Like, hip hop in particular seemed to have a very interesting mix of disco and electronic (synth) in its early days.

And we all know that transformed into house.

It's also interesting, the line between funk and disco.

I've kinda danced around house for a few years now but I fully expect to fall into a blackhole of it in the next few years.

I think disco and dance music are still pretty much around. I think a lot of modern dance music is essentially the same stuff just with a modern sheen.

By comparison some old school genres have been hit much harder.

But overall I approve the thread.

Himu · « **Reply #33 on:** December 15, 2014, 10:06:12 PM »

That's the irony of disco.

Lots of people say disco is dead, but disco influenced a whole slew of genres and stayed underground itself. It just resurfaced.

Well, disco sounds and samples re-emerge periodically in dance and pop music. In the late 90's you had stuff like The Bomb by the Bucketheads, Music Sounds Better With You by Stardust, Turn Around by Phats and Small, Stand Up by Love Tribe and a whole slew of disco-sampling house records... usually taking the sample, cutting it up, adding filters and flangers... it got the name "disco house" or "French House" (because Daft Punk was the best known artist).

Then more recently you had nu-disco, which instead of the 70's disco went more to the 80's post-disco/proto-house/italodisco sound for inspiration... along with lots of re-edits (the "Imagination - Music and Lights" song I posted was re-edited by Tiger and Woods and became a massive nu-disco track in 2010). Nowadays, nu-disco has slowed down a tad and currently the biggest things in dance music are 90's British house/garage revival sounds, or the grandiose progressive sound of the Innervisions label.

Disco House examples:

Nu-disco:

(compare this to the Imagination track I posted above)
