The Story of Disco Pt. I: Start A Love Train
Disco is one of just a few music genres that can call itself a full-bodied cultural movement. The history of the discotheque begins as far back as World War II Europe, and by the 60s, begins blossoming in the American epicenter of disco, New York City. Disco music's true roots lie in American RaB, soul, and funk, so we'll talk about the impact of those genres and how they began to evolve by the early 70s. Also David Mancuso's loft parties, the disco as a safe space, and lots more. Episode 1 of 3.
