I'm one of those, "see, you guys really like disco after all" people who obnoxiously point out the above fact to people. :D
And, I mean, come on, Donna Summer? Class disco.

Actually, disco and modern electronic music aren't really related at all... modern electronic descended from Industrial music, which in turn descended from experimental pioneers like Brion Gysin, the god father of the cut up method (where music was created by litereally cutting up tape, and splicing it to create beats, the genesis of the 'loop'), Chris & Cosy, Throbbing Gristle, et. al., who were really as far from 'disco' as you could be in the seventies... later electronic artists discovered that you could use samples of disco songs to create beats, and the hedonistic culture of raves paralleled the disco phenomenon, but the two are really completely unrelated, musically, except for, of course, the ironic use of disco samples.
so there.
so there.

*shrug* I'd disagree (to an extent, you're right, but...). House music came out of the gay clubs in Chicago and New York following the popular collapse of disco. Same peeps, new music, same idea. I could go dig out my copy of 'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life", but I'm pretty lazy. In the end, we owe a lot to a bunch of black homos (and I mean neither adjective in a derogatory sense).
Either way, I dig the new Madonna tune. :D

I agree with Dark. The 'disco' that we all know well, ABBA, Bee Gees etc, is just the commercial crap that came about in the late 70s as a result of the major record companies jumping on a bandwagon. The REAL disco is the stuff Dark refers to above and that actually has its origins in the soul music of the late sixties.
Oh and anyone remotely interested in "dance music" and its history definitely should read the aforementioned tome.... those fellas really know their stuff. 8)
