From Vinyl to 4/4
70s Disco Samples in House and Dance Music
Disco never died -- it just changed format. The lush orchestral arrangements, propulsive bass lines, and euphoric energy of 1970c disco records became foundational material for house music producers. Chic, Gloria Gaynor, Sister Sledge, and the Bee Gees have been flipped thousands of times across four decades.
