don't you mean "your" parents music. >they think disco is music that gay people listen to (I've heard it from their > mouths). and their absolutely right. disco has it's roots in gay club culture and so does the origins of house music. Kevin Sauderson in interviews sites The Paradise Garage as one of his favorite *Gay clubs* which was influential on vocal house projects like Inner City. > When I tell people , kids from my age who go to parties.. when I tell them I > like disco very much.. they keep telling me stories about abba and so on... > they don´t know there are also good records... they think it is one big > cheese bowl.

I hear the same stuff about techno except people think back to 2 Unlimited, and Moby. on 1/9/03 11:06 AM, Maarten Baute at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I tell you one thing: > the day I discovered disco and soul and old skool elektro, my mixes didn´t > sound boring anymore... ;) > Even if I play the same style of techno, by discovering the roots an other > music I know to bring more variation in a mix. When I first started recording Chicago house and Detroit techno on the radio around 1989 I would pause out the black vocals. Although I would later come to love Chicago vocal house like Ten City. I was more interested in the TR-808, TR-909 beats you would hear in Chicago house which was lacking in Industrial Wax Trax, New Wave dance music from that time. I remember liking the vocals in No UFO's and PHUTURE but no way would I have been into disco. > And that´s a good thing I reckon. > > When I tell people , kids from my age who go to parties.. when I tell them I > like disco very much.. they keep telling me stories about abba and so on... > they don´t know there are also good records... they think it is one big > cheese bowl.
