Well do watch this space - we have exciting developments to come very soon!

So join us as we celebrate Disco this month. Podcast to follow...

One ordination shall rule them all – GROOVE.

Play one record over the other? OK, we'll do that WHILE MAKING THE RECORD IN THE FIRST PLACE
Hey, I'm Stevie Wonder, and I'm just going to TELL YOU SOME STUFF over this rabidly infectious beat - you can call it rap later on if you're paying attention.

All rules were broken if it made it more danceable, and the competition was stiff. Normal record length? Pshaw! This wasn't music for radio programming, this was for Friday night at the Top Rank, the Trocadero, The Camden Palace, and there WERE no time limits (last orders at 2:30am).

The Village People and Sylvester were celebrating gay culture in their music unapologetically as a reflection of this - the dance floor was theirs to own.

It was DANCE. It was SEX. It was FREEDOM. Everyone could be themselves completely on the dance floor (whether that floor was Studio 54 in New York, or your bedroom carpet.)

Disco music turned its back on the serious rock & prog music of the late 60s and early 70s and said "See ya boys, I'm off to dance!"
It took soul, funk, and jazz, with a simple beat but fairly complex jazz harmonies, & melted up a genre all of its own - with one intention - TO MAKE YOU MOVE.

You can't isolate Disco from the prevailing socio-political culture of the time, nor should you want you. Without it, the electronic sounds of the 80’s would never have happened, & the genre underpins the liberation of queer and trans movements whilst engendering racial integration in social spaces.

In fact, we believe that we are duty-bound to share our fervent passion for Disco and hopefully pick up a few converts along the way. Because Disco is not the frothy, superficial movement that some would have you believe.
