It’s all down to a few men in New York with a love for Philly Soul and hypnotic grooves. In the early 70s they defined the club culture from scratch: DJs David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles, Label bosses Mel Sheren and Neil Bogart, remixer extraordinaire Tom Moulton were instrumental in shaping a new sound that changed music forever and paved the way for house music and its many sub-genres decades later.
Today, a new scene is shaping up, updating the classic sound of Disco. Young artists like Monika in Athens, L’Imperatrice and LeonxLeon in France or No Zu in Australia are producing a fresh blend of Disco-inspired music which is neither a copy of the past glory, nor totally in line of the popular Nu-Disco genre that has flourished primarily in Northern Europe.
The WEWANTSOUNDS crew has carefully selected here the cream of this new Disco wave with the coolest tracks around and added a little nod to the heydays in the form of a rare 1976 instrumental by Sounds of Inner City from the cult West End Records label and mixed by the legendary Tom Moulton. This tasteful selection will give you a fresh insight into the Disco rebirth, pouring into the mix a huge dose of sensuality, rhythms and an irresistible craving for love… That’s Disco 2.0!
