To say Disco is rhythm and blues with a pulsating backbeat and a few hi-tech flourishes is to oversimplify its allure. At the dawn of the 70s, music had become more introspective and cerebral, something to listen to instead of move to. Oh sure, a few isolated individuals were dancing in the aisles, but they were doing it with reckless abandon and raised suspicion. Underground and away from the mainstream, various subcultures began to traverse the dance floor in new and provocative ways. Record-spinning DJs became performance artists, rubbing out orchestrated mixes of salacious rhythms and pulsations that enraptured discotheques (hence the term Disco) bubbling over with urban hedonists and cosmopolitan fringe dwellers.
