Like everything else, disco has a history, a piece of which is presented in this three-episode series. “Everything that happened at the Stonewall that night happened because people were dancing.”, said DJ Nicky Siano about the birth of disco. This wonderful series documents the passion and idealism of the 70s music scene. It’s an immaculately soundtracked history lesson – and so much more besides. This new documentary series dedicated to the music of the 1970s is entitled Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution. In addition to the historical threads, they show how this subculture evolved and became what we know today from several perspectives. And of course, a music series cannot be complete without music to represent the whole phenomenon, so there is no shortage of that! The three-part series features interviews with music greats including DJ Nicky Siano, Honey Dijon, Kim Petras, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, François K, and many others. This, in a unique format, helps us to look at how and where disco culture developed and how it has become the dance industry that we can now look at anywhere in the world thanks to the internet. As the DJ Nicky Siano puts it, “disco has a history”, and truly, it is a great one. This floats two compatible theories about the birth of disco nightlife. One, that gay liberation emerged as a reaction to the oppressive policing of gay bars, mostly run by the mafia, where same-sex couples were strictly forbidden from dancing together. “Everything that happened at the Stonewall that night happened because people were dancing,” suggests Siano, who is excellent value throughout the film. It also shows the dire financial straits in the US at this time, which led to two things. First was an excess of empty warehouse buildings, which were put to good use by artists and people who wanted to party. Disco documents the birth of the Loft, the night thrown by David Mancuso at his warehouse apartment in Manhattan in 1970, where a crowd of mostly Black and Latin partygoers could dance in private, away from the police, freely. They listened to music known as “danceable R&B” and took LSD. “I felt like Pac-Man, like these bubbles were gonna eat me,” recalls David DePino, who had dipped into the spiked punch that was served from a coffee urn. “And that’s when I said, I think I love acid.” The other consequence of an economy in crisis came three years later, when restaurants were forced to rent out their venues at night, because of the great beef shortage of 1973. This meant that in some cases, the restaurants’ Black and Latin members of staff would end up at the parties there. “Unheard of,” says DJ Hollywood, describing these events in which different social groups would dance together “below 52nd Street”. It was at this point that the music critic Vince Aletti wrote about what he called “discotheque rock” for Rolling Stone magazine. The name was soon shortened to “disco”. This is a comprehensive series, featuring a long list of interviews from people who were there to people who know their history and the musical debts they owe, such as Jake Shears, Jessie Ware and Kim Petras. It picks a handful of key tracks and explains how they became popular and which clubs and DJs championed them. It speaks to the inventors of disco innovations, from remixes to sound effects to speakers that faced four ways. There are interviews with the drummer Earl Young, who demonstrates what became the standard disco beat – “That’s why they call me the disco daddy,” he says, fabulously – and with George McCrae, whose Rock Your Baby is given as one of the three tracks that took disco out of the gay clubs and into the mainstream. There is a lot more to come, but this portrait of its early days is wonderful, documenting an idealistic and passionate scene that was created by and for outsiders, who pushed culture onwards, upwards and into the future. “Dancefloors unite people through sound in a way that our governments and religions try to separate us,” says the DJ and producer Honey Dijon. “It’s the great equaliser.” Episode 1: “Rock The Boat” Air Date 16th of December 2023: From the sweaty basement bars of 70s New York to the glittering peak of the global charts, how disco conquered the world - its origins, its triumphs, its fall and its legacy. The first episode covers the boom in gay clubs in New York City during the early 1970s, and the arrival of a new sound, and wraps it all up in a thrilling social history. It begins not with sequins and glitter balls, but with protests and activism, as the 1960s marched forwards into a tough new decade. There was, as the radio presenter Mark Riley (not that one) says, “a fuck-you attitude among a lot of people, younger people generally”. There were mass marches for peace and women’s rights, young men were burning their draft cards for the Vietnam war, and LGBTQ+ people were rioting at the Stonewall Inn. (59 Minutes) Episode 2: “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now” Air Date 23rd of December 2023: A look at the high watermark of disco in the middle of the 1970s, from Donna Summer’s anthemic, provocative single Love to Love You Baby to Sylvester’s You Make Me Feel Mighty Real. At a time when the post-civil rights generation struggled to be heard politically and socially, their call for liberation was found in disco. (59 Minutes) Episode 3: “Stayin’ Alive” Air Date 30th of December 2023: At the end of the 1970s, the founding principles of disco – queerness, diversity and feminism – were coming under increasing attack from a predominantly white, straight, rock-loving audience. By the summer of 1978, disco appeared untouchable, but mass marketing and rampant commercialism were beginning to turn the tide. A glut of bad disco singles and the perceived elitism of clubs like Studio 54 fuelled a surge in anti-disco feeling. This is the story of how disco died - and where it went. (59 Minutes) This 3 Episode Documentary total a staggering 3 HOURS LONG. A must have DVD Set for any diehard collector of Disco classics!
