Disco was the leading music of the dance clubs in the late 70ies and early 80ies, fusing elements of (Philly) Soul, Funk, Rhythm & Blues and Latin with a straight 4/4 kickdrum beat between 110 and 125 BpM. Disco was the first musical genre mixed by DJ's on a consistent tempo for a longer time, which even lead the music market to release extended versions of titles on 12“ Maxis especially for DJ's. Popular artists those days were Chic, Donna Summer, Sylvester and Village People. In today's DJ business, artists like Dimitri From Paris, Joey Negro, Daniel Wang, DJ Spinna or Danny Krivit keep the reference to Disco up by releasing new edits of old records, arranging compilations and playing old Disco records in their sets.
