The Disco Recommendation Thread
 
So there's a thread for '80s Italo and New Wave club music in the Electronica forum, but none for good ole classic Disco (beyond one or two halfhearted attempts filled with dead users and broken links).

Flair those collars, put on your tightest pants, and get with it.

This is a genre I am definitely going to listen to more. Only had time to listen to the first video so far but loved it :).

^ Groovy. If I ever decide to go on a road trip through space, that'll be the first on the mix. Or at least second, behind Space Truckin'.

Don't recommend that "Come To Me" song. The artist is alright, but towards the end of the full version of the song has her chanting "love ya" OVER AND OVER again and makes me wanna rage(I'm glad that this was my first time not hearing this song on a single day anywhere)!

On the positive note, Disco Nights by GQ! Very catchy and I really love to dance to it!

I'll recommend some of the great bands to look into that thrived on disco and disco funk:

Chic (and their productions for Sister Sledge, Sheila & B Devotion, Diana Ross, Norma Jean Wright.. those are all must haves).

Mass Production - definitely the funkiest disco funk band.

Slave - They were more Funk than Disco but a must. Check out their 70's through about '81 material when Steve Arrington was the main vocalist and they had Starleana & Curt who later formed Aurra. Check '80 to '83 Aurra out too it's some really nice stuff like Are You Single and Checking You Out.

Con Funk Shun 70's through '82 I recommend most.

Heatwave - Boogie Nights from '76 obviously a must and The Groove Line from '77.

Fat Larry's Band from the 70's & early 80's... definitely check out the tracks Center City and Lookin' Tonight For Love. Oh yeah and Party After Midnight love that one.

BT Express from the 70's is a good one as well to check out.

For more instrumental disco stuff you can't go wrong with Brass Construction and Crown Heights Affair. Those were two giants of that kinda music in the 70's.

Last but not least, don't forget to check out late 70's early 80's bands like One Way, Starpoint, and Narada Michael Walden. They were all great with the disco sound as well as funk and R&B.

Tommy Stewart - Tommy Stewart (1976)



Quote:

Tommy Stewart is known for his classic super funky disco productions on the Abraxas label. He created some of the scarcest and highly sought after disco records of all time - not the cheesy souless disco of the late 1970s but the raw, funk-tinged good stuff!

This self-titled rare groove album includes the essential party classic "Bump and Hustle Music," which works on any dancefloor anytime - dope bassline and percussion plus a killer vocal irresistible vocal hook. The album also includes lesser known gems like "Riding High," and "The Fulton County Line."

Stewart also produced (with Marlin McNichols and Billy Wright) rare-groove disco records like Spirit Of Atlanta "Burning Of Atlanta", Sil Austin "Disco Music," and Tamiko Jones "Let it flow."
