Disco dance is a style of dance highly dependent on disco music. Disco music consists of strong, rising vocals over a steady beat and bass line. During the 1970’s, disco clubs were abundant and alive with disco dancers.

Disco is a genre of dance music and a subculture that emerged in the 1970s from the United States’ urban nightlife scene. Its sound is typified by four-on-the-floor beats, syncopated basslines, string sections, horns, electric piano, synthesizers, and electric rhythm guitars.

“Discotheque” means “library of phonograph records” in French, and that term gradually came to refer to these clubs where records were the norm, rather than a band. In the early ’60s, the word came into use in the United States, frequently shortened to “disco.”

Disco helped to develop sound system technology, mixers, loudspeakers, lighting… all the club kit, while on record it brought the synthesiser to the fore in popular music. So disco actually provided the foundations for contemporary dance music culture.

It is around the same time where the words DJ and disc jockey came into use. One of the reasons why the disco music gained increased popularity was the free-form dancing as well as the loud, overwhelming sound from the live performers.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut has finally had its ban in Australia lifted. Two months after the Australian Classification Board refused to classify the game due to its themes of drug misuse, violence, crime and more, the game has received a new R 18+ rating.

Some felt disco was too mechanical; Time magazine deemed it a “diabolical thump-and-shriek”. Others hated it for the associated scene, with its emphasis on personal appearance and style of dress. The media emphasized its roots in gay culture.

Score. Disco Elysium is a masterpiece of the RPG genre that will certainly impact other games in the future. It does what it aims to do in the best way possible, that is to tell a story. It’s an engaging, thought-provoking and incredibly satisfying experience that I’ll certainly remember for a good while.

Disco was at its most popular in the United States and Europe in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Disco was brought into the mainstream by the hit movie Saturday Night Fever, which was released in 1977.

In 1976, an accidental studio discovery by disco pioneer Tom Moulton provided the solution: a 12-inch single. By stretching one song across 12 inches of vinyl, a format typically reserved for full-length albums, those long dance tracks had room to breathe.

Kenny Clarke: The Drummer Who Invented Jazz’s Basic Beat : A Blog Supreme Faced with a rapid tempo one night, Kenny Clarke devised a new way to play the beat on the ride cymbal. His “spang-a-lang,” and the rhythmic ideas it generated, wound up transforming the way we feel swing ever after.

A time signature of 4-4 means there are 4 quarter beats in each measure. A time signature of 2-4 means there are 2 quarter beats in each measure.

The four-on-the-floor beat is a common time rhythm pattern that sounds four consecutive quarter notes within a measure of 4/4 music. Sometimes called four-to-the-floor, this beat is played on the bass drum of a drum kit, which explains the “on the floor” phrase.

Most beginner drum sets three main components: drums, hardware and cymbals.

• Drums. Most drum sets typically include the bass (or kick) drum, the snare drum and toms.
• Hardware. Common drum hardware includes the bass drum pedal, the throne, and the hi-hat and cymbal stands.
• Cymbals.

: a steady pronounced rhythm stressing the second and fourth beats of a four-beat measure.

Breakbeat (element of music) A break beat is the sampling of breaks as (drum loop) beats, (originally found in soul or funk tracks) and their subsequent use as the rhythmic basis for hip hop and rap. It was invented by DJ Kool Herc, a Jamaican who emigrated to New York.

Breakbeat is a broad type of electronic music that tends to utilize drum breaks sampled from early recordings of funk, jazz, and R&B. Breakbeats have been used in styles such as hip hop, jungle, drum and bass, big beat, breakbeat hardcore, and UK garage styles (including 2-step, breakstep and dubstep).

In tap dancing, jazz, and blues, stop-time is an accompaniment pattern interrupting, or stopping, the normal time and featuring regular accented attacks on the first beat of each or every other measure, alternating with silence or instrumental solos. Stop-time is, according to Samuel A.

Nicki’s career has paved the way for so many women artists as well. I know she has a beef with Cardi B, but she definitely opened the door for Cardi B to have one of the biggest years for a female hip hop artist. Meg Thee Stallion and Doja Cat also went on to have number one records as female hip hop artists in 2020.
