Disco never died. It has been a shaping force of urban music even when it was forced underground by the record executives and mainstream audiences who were threatened by its asso- ciation with Black, Latino and hedonist culture. Even when it did go ‘underground’ in the early 80s it still reared its head in many contexts; Michael Jackson used it all throughout his seminal albums, post punk appropriated it for its own uses, Larry Levan was still playing it, it was being discovered in Ibiza and went onto become an influence on house and techno which became global forces in music. That’s the power of disco; the ability to channel the dreams and desires of disaffected urban youth and filter it through a hypnotic and infectious groove.
