    Old School DJ Kool Herc is credited with inventing Hip Hop at a block party in 1974, although others were playing as well. All it took was two of the same vinyl record and some skill at cutting between them. That summer, Lovebug Starski started this style of music and dancing – “hip-hop”. Kool Herc was one of the first victims of violent death in this music culture, stabbed in 1977.

  • Dance Hits of the 1980s

    Dance Hits of the 1980s

    80s Music vs. 70s Disco

    Disco emerged in the mid-1970s and was characterized by a strong beat, four-on-the-floor rhythm, and a focus on rhythm and melody. It was inspired by funk, soul, and Latin music and was often performed in dance clubs. Disco music was heavily associated with the rise of the dance culture and was often criticized for its repetitive and formulaic sound.

    On the other hand, 80s dance music was a more diverse genre that incorporated elements of funk, soul, and pop music. Unlike disco, which was limited to a specific style, 80s dance music allowed for more creative expression and experimentation. The music of the 80s was heavily influenced by synthesizers and drum machines, which gave it a distinctive electronic sound. Many 80s dance tracks were upbeat, energetic, and designed for dance floors, but there were also ballads and other slower-paced songs incorporating dance elements.

    80s dance music connected with audiences in several ways. Firstly, the music was upbeat and energetic, which encouraged people to get up and dance. This was especially the case with disco music, which had its roots in dance clubs and was designed to get people moving. With the popularity of dance clubs and discos, people had more opportunities to experience dance music in a live setting.

    Secondly, 80s dance music often had a strong beat and simple, repetitive lyrics that were easy to sing along to. This made it more accessible and fun for people to dance to, regardless of their musical knowledge or experience.

    Thirdly, the visual aspect of 80s dance music was also a key factor in connecting with audiences. Music videos became increasingly popular during the 80s, and many dance music videos were filled with colorful and eye-catching images that helped to engage viewers.

    Finally, 80s dance music also connected with audiences on an emotional level. The upbeat and optimistic themes of many dance songs were in stark contrast to the time’s economic uncertainty and social unrest. They offered a temporary escape from the realities of life.
