Over the last 12 months there has been a resurgence of Disco music and it is taking over the dance floors of many of the world’s best clubs.

This has been very apparent recently with the runaway success of Aeroplane and 2 many DJ’s who have been infusing Disco with a four-on-the-floor beat for months now.

Strings, horns, electric pianos and electric guitars create lush sounds full of melody and soul which makes Disco less computer driven and more organic.

The song we have for you today is very much from the Chic school of disco featuring a classic double-base and tight organic percussion, a classic vocal sample and a fantastic piano riff.

This song exemplifies the history of disco with funk and soul influences featuring throughout.

Disco has been influential on several dance music genres that have emerged since, such as House, Techno and Nu-disco.

Let’s hope that his isn’t a passing phase and more a general shift from commercial rubbish funky house to Disco.
