AMERICANA — ROCK YOUR SOUL: Satisfying The Soft-Rock Sweet Tooth

about 5 months ago - 2 comments

AOR is a genre that is explored often at Schlockmania but it’s usually done in the more arena-rocking context of this style (i.e. stuff along the lines of Styx, Journey, Foreigner, etc.). However, there is another side to AOR that downplays the bombast in favor of smooth melodicism defined by light undertones of jazz and More >

MIXOLOGY — THE DEFINITIVE SALSOUL MIXES: When The Umpteenth Trip To The Vault Is Actually Worth It

about 6 months ago - No comments

If you had to pick a “most anthologized” record label for disco material, Salsoul Records would probably take the cake. They have consistently been one of the most influential disco labels since the original rise/fall/rebirth of the genre and their material consistently remains in demand amongst aficionados. However, it’s rare that one of the countless More >

Disco would have a better reputation with pop music fans if they heard more of the good stuff.

DISCO DISCHARGE — CRUISING THE BEATS: Going To Extremes On The Dance Floor

about 1 year ago - 1 comment

A big part of the fun with disco music is the genre’s frequent embrace of melodrama and excess. Gay disco is by far the best of all disco subgenres at delivering these elements because it always goes for the most florid forms of expression possible. It can take the love song format, add a beat More >

DISCO DISCHARGE — EURO BEATS: Bubblegum Goes Electro On The Dance Floor

about 1 year ago - 4 comments

In the United States, disco was swiftly shoved under the rug as the country made its transition from the 1970’s to the 1980’s. It was transformed into a dirty word, quietly removed from the airwaves and banished back into the clubs from whence it came. In Europe, it was a different story: no such discrimination More >

Backbeats: YOWSAH YOWSAH YOWSAH and THE BIG APPLE BITES BACK

about 1 year ago - No comments

An interesting thing about Harmless Records’ Backbeats series: it does not discriminate against disco records the way some soul music compilations do. In fact, Backbeats often devotes volumes purely to dance music, even going beyond disco to embrace later dance styles like techno and house. Yowsah Yowsah Yowsah and The Big Apple Bites Back illustrate More >
