What Exactly Is Deep Disco?

[remicks]

Deep Disco is a term used to describe house-esque, politically correct, soulful 70's-style dance music or early 80's paradise garage anthems, canonised Larry Levan faves found in comps like the Nicky Siano Loft thing or any of the Danny Krivit/Joey Negro etc cds. NONE of that cheesy horrible euro stuff apart from a couple of exceptions like Don Ray is deep. In fact, most of the comps make sure you understand the music contained within is "not really disco as such, more like soulful boogie".

...... :P :P :P .

If you're gonna dig around in the musical gutters, you have to give a sweetened name to whatever nasty dregs you might turn up. It's a way of making (sometimes) absolute shite, more palatable.

............... hence the term for yet another subgenre .... ... deep doo doo disco ...... :lol:

That's a good definition. I was thinking on those lines as well, but wanted to be "musically accurate". (lol) Excuse me, but who is Nicky Siano? Haven't heard of him, when I hear of Loft I think of David Mancuso.

Nicky Siano = The Gallery, which was sort of after The Loft...or inspired by. He also DJ'd at Studio 54 for a bit. Check out his comp on Soul Jazz...

awesome early disco compilation, though most of the tunes aren't really "disco disco"...more early soul/boogie/funk cuts...

I'm always amazed when the folks here are talking about all these categories. I usually think: oh is that so???? For me personnally Disco has two categories: mainstream (poppy, easy, catchy) and club (deep?, enchanting, trancing, moving) . :D

Deep? I always say "Hardcore" these days. I went out 2 Sundays ago and went by my self and I told my friends the next day that they played some HARDCORE TRASH. That to us means the "regular disco " listener would ask, "who sings this"? Man I had a fantastic time that night. I left the club at 1:30 am and worked a double the next day. I love the Hardcore Nights :)

but who is Nicky Siano? Haven't heard of him,

After a comment like that one I do not think anybody here will be visiting your website anytime soon.
