History of Disco and Roots of Dance Music
DiscoMusic.com is a multi award winning resource since 1996 and a thriving interactive community for the vinyl Disco record collector or '70s / 80s nostalgia buff. This site and its members, many who are world famous DJs and artists, are a testament to Disco's far-reaching influence on dance music. Disco never went away as some would have you believe. It merely evolved and worked its way into the fabric of and is the basis of House, Rap, dance and pop music today. More than three decades have passed and Disco is more popular than ever. Find out why!
Retro Disco Fever
It's the 1970s or 1980s and you're out dancing to the sounds of such Disco DJs as Larry Levan of the Paradise Garage, David Mancuso of The Loft, John "Jellybean" Benitez of The Funhouse, John Ceglia of River West, Robbie Leslie of The Saint or perhaps Bobby Viteritti of Trocadero Transfer...
The Disco songs of Vincent Montana Jr., Patrick Adams, Donna Summer, Alec R. Costandinos, Chic or the newest Salsoul Records release fills the air as the DJ is mixing back and forth on the Technics SL-1200 tunrtables between vinyl 12 inch Disco singles and albums that proudly proclaim that they are remixed by Tom Moulton, Walter Gibbons, Jim Burgess, John Morales or John Luongo. You love to dance and listen to Disco, it's a part of your life. Forget the Disco MP3 downloads or samples and loops in today's House music-this is the real deal. It's the "real" Disco style we all love from the Disco era.
