Post-disco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term post-disco is a referral to the late 1970s and early 1980s movement of disco music into more electronic influenced sounds. This was mainly brought on by DJs, who remixed and added new experimental sounds. Post-disco music is generally quite rare; some excellent examples of hard-to-find songs are noted in video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, on fictional radio station Paradise FM.

Also, disco's impact has been heard in many modern songs, mainly in house music.
