Spacesynth Edit
At least one modern history of "space disco" traces the genre's origins to science fiction themes (outer space, robots, and the future) in the titles, lyrics and cover artwork of dance music in the late 1970s.[7] Plausible associations are drawn between the popularity of Star Wars (released mid-1977), the subsequent surge in interest in science fiction themes in popular culture, and the release of a number of science fiction themed and "futuristic"-sounding (synthesizer and arpeggiator-infused) disco music worldwide.[7]
Space disco Edit
Music at the crossroads of Italo disco,[8] electro[8] and synth-pop,[8] characterized by "vocoderized harmony vocals" (Mr. Flagio's "Take a Chance")[8] and "futuristic synth melodies" (Kano's "Cosmic Voyager"),[8] was later dubbed space synth or space disco. In later years it was also influenced by Brazilian music, funk, and jazz fusion (See also: Afro/cosmic music).[8]
In modern histories, early examples of space disco usually include the music of the French band Space,[7] and "I Feel Space"[8] by Lindstrøm.
Labels producing this type of music include[8]
Whatever We Want Records (Quiet Village Project, Map Of Africa, Bobby Marie) (Brooklyn, NY, USA)
Lindstrøm's Feedelity (Europe)
Eskimo (Rub'N'Tug Present Campfire mix), Bear Entertainment/Bear Funk, Prins Thomas' Full Pupp (Belgium)
Tirk (UK) and D. C. Recordings (UK).
Post-disco and house music Edit
New York City-based post-disco record label Emergency Records specialized in reissuing/selling records from Italy (e.g. Kano "I'm Ready"),[9] since the 1970s. Kano, a moniker of Anglo-Caribbean DJ Glen White, is noted for incorporating American musical elements ("heavy funk" influences, "breakbeat" rhythm, the use of vocoder) with electronic music while using rudimentary synthesizers,[6] constituting one of the earliest forms of Italo disco. This form of Americanized Italo disco, that also includes Klein + M.B.O.[6] ("Dirty Talk", "Wonderful", "The M. B. O. Theme"), re-entered the States and was known to be influential on the development of house music.[6] Doctor's Cat ("Feel the Drive"), likewise, was one of the earliest "house music" songs.[10]
