Italo Disco Music - geeeaidan - 20-03-2015

Just thought I wold reach out and see what people's thoughts are on this Nu-Disco revival thing that we seem to be going through at the moment!

It was this article in the guardian that got me thinking about it more http://bit.ly/19zGQul

Quote:What's genuinely strange and intriguing though, is to find that the genre has been having something of a renaissance of late, in the dingy pubs and run-down clubs of Dalston and Hackney

I'm all for this sort of thing, so if you fancy sharing with me what kind of nu disco has been floating your boat.. Go ahead

I don't see this as any kind of disco. The originals had much stronger rhythmic elements. If anything this is a revival of '80's "New Wave" pop. The only commonalities between this and original disco is that it's dance music. This name Nu-Disco is only a marketing ploy, pure and simple.

....i listened and thought the same thing Jazzbo....

No way is this disco. More like the New Romantics that emerged from the UK. 80's synth pop comes to mind.

Well, at least disco used a lot of natural instruments, not just electronics, and the musicians were all in the studio, doing it together--the Philly guys anyway.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip62SRqJcYA

I'm not a fan of the 70s disco era, infact, it took me years to appreciate the Bee Gees disco material and I'm a big fan...

Also, a lot of disco songs mention the word "boogie", I cringe when I hear that word in any song....and that's snot a lie....lmao


Italo Disco Music - geeeaidan - 23-03-2015

Hahaha okey well maybe Disco wasn't the right word.. I mean more sort of 80's Italo synth style sounds

This is another album I found which might clear up what i mean more

From now on you are going to be known as Crazy Boogie Woogie.
