Went to my first disco in 1977. Disco outlived punk by decades. 

Saw Nile Rodgers and Chic a few weeks back in Crystal Palace. With various support DJs it was a VERY disco-tastic evening. 

Crowd was a bit different from those that are more familiar to me. Not a sign of a mosh pit breaking out at any point. 

For me it's apparent that everything is so upbeat both musically and lyrically. Would be interesting to hear a disco style song musically with Morrisey or Radiohead style lyrics... 

I went to MC Hammer's house, he wouldn't let me touch anything.

I was only a kid at the time but started getting into the music and buying the records.

Van McCoy - The hustle 
Heatwave- Boogie nights 
The Hues corporation - Rock the boat 
Earth Wind and Fire -Boogie wonderland
Chic Le Freak 
The O jays -Love train 
Edwin Star Contact 

Then along came through Bee gees and Saturday night fever before jazz funk came into being along with some great soul and dance artists.

I used to spend fortunes on records in them days and then started going to some of the clubs regularly 

Later than that it was house which wasn't really my thing but i had mates who used to do the odd DJ set so I would tag along and we would knock about with the likes of  Brandon Block which was an experience.
