Tom Moulton. Who’s he? Well, he is the man. He is the father of remixing. He is the one who invented ‘accidentally’ disco break and 12″ maxi single format. He is behind thousands and thousands of disco remixes. “I never made a dance record, I made records you can dance to.” – Tom Moulton [1]‘And of course [...]

Paradise Garage

Every track was a good track [...]

Drop the bass!

In my previous DC post I promised to present some actual speed garage tunes. This genre was “the next big thing” in the UK after the big beat hype during the late 90′s. Regular elements in speed garage tracks included sped-up garage house rhythms, female vocals/male MC and heavy basslines. The success of this style [...]

Dance Classics: Jocelyn Brown

Jocelyn Brown maybe needs no introduction, but take this as a salute to maybe the best female dance music singer. Her career is truly a link between disco, post-disco era and the development of house music to this day. Brown started in the late seventies singing for studio groups for example Chic, Cerrone, Change and [...]

Go Go

As Åke posted D.C. Scorpio’s “Beam Me Up Scotty” in the previous DC-post, and told nothing about Go Go, I thought that has to be done! So, go go is a sub genre of funk.
