Staff picks
Disco ruled the dancefloors of the 1970s, from New York's clubs to the radio. Four-on-the-floor beats, funky bass, lush strings and soaring vocals made it the soundtrack of a whole era.
Where disco fits
- parties and celebration videos;
- fashion and retro edits;
- roller skating and dance content;
- 70s themed ads and events.
The disco formula
A kick drum on every beat, open hi-hats on the offbeat, a busy octave bassline and string or horn sections on top. Tempos sit around 110 to 130 BPM. Disco shaped house music in the 1980s and keeps coming back in pop. For party and roller skating videos, the steady kick keeps every move in time. For fashion and retro content, strings and wah guitar bring instant 70s glamour.
