Disco Express – The Cover Art

Here’s the cover art for one of my latest compilations – Disco Express. I’m a child of the 70’s, so disco music is near and dear to my heart. I never quite got the whole ‘disco sucks’ movement. As far as I’m concerned, any music that’s geared towards dancing and having a good time can’t be all bad. Disco definitely had some low moments, particularly right before its early 80’s ‘death’, but the genre has since been redeemed by the development in the 80’s (and ascendancy in the 90’s) of Hip-Hop and Electronica – both of which were heavily influenced by the culture of disco.

This compilation was not intended as another version of ‘disco’s greatest hits’ – lord knows there are too many of those out there already. Instead, it was meant as a true party mix, a blend of recognizable hits and lesser known club favorites, including tracks that were spun by pioneering New York City disco DJs like Larry Levan and Nicky Siano. At the very least, I’d like to think it’s proof that disco not only didn’t suck, it produced a lot of music that could be downright uplifting.
