It’s been a while since I last post an entry to Dance Classics Series or even to this blog. Let’s just say I’ve been busy digging around the internet to bring you some smashing tunes from the past. While I was searching the tunes it became apparent that this club we are going to discuss [...]

Zapp & Roger has always been one my favourites. Everybody knows Roger Troutman for his talkbox singing in Tupac’s California Love, or maybe for their biggest hit, More Bounce To An Ounce. He took the talkbox singing to a next level, which is probably one of the reasons why in the 00′s started the auto [...]

Behold the living dead creatures of disco from the past of the future! Weird and spaced out, dubby & tribal to rock and exotic. Imagination – Music And Lights (Nightdubbin) Strike One – Can’t Mix Me Anymore Serge Blenner – Esthematique Logic System – Clash (Chinjyu Of Sun) The League Unlimited Orchestra – The Things [...]

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 [...]

Once upon a time there was a disco called Paradise Garage, located in the city that never sleeps. Operational from 1977 to 1987, Paradise Garage was the home of DJ Larry Levan, known for playing eclectic sets. With no genre restrictions his only goal was to make people dance. Every track was a good track [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. This Washington D.C.’s signature funk sound has a recognizable syncopated beat influenced by afro caribbian music. The sound was developed [...]
