''Space Disco''& "New Wave Funk"

What the hell am I doing here....!??

The pop culture phenomenon of Space Disco can be seen as a logical extension of the Space Age, its accompanying sci-fi sensibility, and the evolution of music-making technology.

With Star Trek: Picard and Space Force in the news, it's time to revisit the best space disco of the original era. These 25 songs feature outer space on the dance floor, from the avant-garde to Star Wars commercialism and beyond.

When you get a chance check out 808, a doc all about the drum machine/synth that was instrumental in the evolution of that space age sound.

Sorry! Well, if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber you can watch it on PrimeVideo/PrimeVideo app.

Some good history on how pivotal the 808 was in shaping that space age sound which figures so prominently in the development of Hip Hop, in particular.
