Disco, also known as disco, is also a musical style and belongs to a kind of electronic music. The following is the introduction of disco arranged by me. Welcome to read the reference!
The word "disco" is the abbreviation of "disco", which originally meant "ballroom for people to dance" and originated in France in the early 1960s. In the 1960s, with the update of music equipment, the ballroom could complete the work of the original band as long as it had a record player, and it could also get all kinds of different music at any time, which was economical. Therefore, major dance halls no longer hire bands to accompany them, but hire a record player to provide dance music by playing records. Slowly, people call this dance music played by records disco.
Introduce the concept of folding editing.
Disco is the abbreviation of disco, which means record dance. At first, it refers to the music that black people dance through recording in nightclubs. In the 1970s, it became a general term for virtually any new dance music. Compared with rock and roll, it is characterized by strong, indifferent, metronome-like 4/4 beat and simple lyrics and tunes. 1977, because the Australian pop music group "bee gees" recorded the film "Saturday Night Fever", it caused disco fever in the United States. Disco is often synthesized and made into records in the recording studio, but due to its monotonous rhythm and similar style, it was gradually replaced by other pop dance music with less obvious rhythm and slower speed in the early 1980s. origin
Style characteristic
Disco dance music has a strong beat, usually 4/4 beats, and each beat is a strong beat, which remains unchanged from beginning to end; The speed is about 120 beats per minute; Its tune is short and its lyrics are simple and repetitive. In fact, any piece of music can be turned into a disco as long as the speed is adjusted and the strong and weak beats are changed. At first, disco only played pop songs and rock music suitable for dancing, such as Sol music in Motown. Later, specialized disco music gradually appeared.
Dance characteristics
Bungee dancing has a large amount of activities and a strong sense of music rhythm. It is an impromptu free dance, with no prescribed movements. Dancers are also music appreciators. They will first indulge in sound and bring themselves into the whirlpool of sound. With the strong and sharp rhythm of music, because there is no prescribed rhythm, they will improvise different body movements according to the change of rhythm, freely twist all parts of the body, especially the waist and crotch, and jump out of themselves. At the same time, they will also create their own patterns, fully express their personality and make various actions without restraint. The number of dancers can be men and women dancing in pairs, or they can dance together in groups and have fun with others. Disco dance can be said to be an ode to a liberated person, with a warm and healthy tone. It can liberate people's body and mind, fully express themselves, and also vent their bitterness and passion of complaining about others, showing the truth, calmness and freedom that today's society does not have, becoming an ode to healthy beauty and spiritual beauty, giving people aesthetic enjoyment and truly knowing themselves.
Development history
Disco marks the beginning of early pop music based on dance music. Bypassing the increasingly popular voices and crazy grams in the 1970s, disco emphasizes the beat, even singers and songs. Disco, named after disco, is a nightclub that doesn't play any music except dance music. Disco clubs in new york are mostly gay clubs, so DJs deliberately choose crazy records with strong rhythm and heavy style to play. After disco appeared, records began to be played on the radio and sold well. Soon, record companies and music producers began to cut all forms of music except disco. Naturally, these records also have a strong pop factor, so they can be so successful. Disco albums often don't need to be changed-their few long songs just keep beating. Similarly, those singles are released as 12 inch records, which helps to prolong the mixing time. Djs can mix these tracks, and as long as they are marked as beats per minute, they can match the beat of each song. Soon, disco, which has always been marked by strong rhythm, has an advantage in pop music. Every band has some disco elements, from rock stars the Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart to pop stars Bee Gees and Nouvelle Vague such as Brandt. Some disco bands became stars-donna sommer, Chick, Village Band and KC&; Sunshine Band-Since they created these rhythms and created music, they all played a major media role in the producer's music. Disco gradually lost its momentum in the 1970s and 1980s, but it didn't die out-it mutated into various dance-based genres, with a wide range of dance music popular from amateurs to professionals. A dance in which the body twists with a strong musical rhythm. Although it has only been introduced to China for more than ten years, the popularity of Disco is staggering. You don't need to pay too much attention to disco clothes, but British young people who started dancing wildly in dazzling colorful light and shadow also have similar clothes. They wear shoulder-length hair like dry silk, tight white shirts, old beard jeans, and are decorated with all kinds of shiny things and metal rings, creating a thrilling tension.
Historical origin
DISCO dance music in the 1980s and disco English dance music series by Lotus Warrior in the 1980s are classics that will be completely forgotten if no one remembers them again (disco is, of course, a transliteration of disco). At that time, of course, we didn't have the conditions and possibility to go clubbing, but people in the streets and alleys were addicted to melody, and the envelopes were filled with monsters or warriors of sci-fi illustration FEEL.
Lotus East, also known as "Hollywood East", is the name of a disco in Hong Kong. The DJ of this disco remixes European and American pop dance music and plays it. I didn't expect a surprisingly good response. Quickly become a fashion.
Starting from 1988, Hong Kong FACE Records Company authorized Guangzhou Branch of China Record Company to release Dutch dance music series, which is the first time in the history of China's audio-visual publishing to synchronize with the world's pop music scene, so that fans can be exposed to excellent western electronic dance music and strange sound effects produced by mixing.
Warrior is a "Master Mix" series, which is similar to the Hodo series, and its content is mostly European dance music, especially Italian Italo Disco. However, I feel that there are many more classic melodies in the Warriors. In addition, what is even more shocking is actually the series of Savage, Wolf, Savage King and Wolf King. It was the best in the cassette at that time. I once owned it, but I don't know where it is. Ah, but even if the antique survives, I don't think I can listen to it ...
Social symbol
The research results of sociologists and anthropologists show that human beings have an instinctive demand for singing and dancing. Disco has brought a refreshing choice for people who have always respected implication, elegance, etiquette and solemnity. When dancing disco, you should forget your identity, status and education, and forget all the personality masks that prevent you from letting go. In today's discos, young people can still find the feeling of heartbeat when they walk onto the dance floor in T-shirts, jeans and high-heeled shoes. White-collar men in suits and ties go directly to the disco ballroom to watch the performance after work from the company without changing clothes. A straight suit looks a little weird in the rotating shadow, but no one accuses you of being out of date, as long as you have fun. Disco's tolerance for clothes has become very broad. You can even often see the old people in the north gathered in a corner of the park, wearing bloated cotton-padded clothes and trousers, twisting their backs and dancing for the old people. You can't find the original disco spirit here. Disco seems to exist in name only.
Emcee introduction
Disco existed as early as World War I, but it was not as crazy and HIGH as it is now. At best, it's just some rhythmic music. DJ was just the host behind the scenes, just like the host of the radio station now. Only a song "Playthe Funky Muisc" with cherry lips at 1972 can be regarded as the real origin of DISCO. This music style was immediately favored by young friends at that time, and was later named "Funky", which is still deeply loved by people until now. While "DJ" has changed from behind the scenes to semi-behind-the-scenes, and participated in some front-stage work such as singing, music production and concert hosting, so it cannot be called a professional "DJ".
198 1, an era that everyone is very familiar with has emerged-the era of break dancing. The style of break dancing has continued to this day and has become a well-known style. They also come from black street music and have the same characteristics-that is, 1997' s popular "rap". 198 1, "DJ" formally walked from behind the scenes to the front desk, and was responsible for selecting the appropriate music from all kinds of music for the guests.
No turntable, no DJ. Craft is still the leader in record player manufacturing. No DJ will know about the tape player and timely record player developed and manufactured by this company until now, but little known is that as early as 1979, "Technics" produced the first professional record player, which laid the foundation for this special industry of DJ. In the early 1980 s, DJ couldn't give full play to the advantages of record player, so he had to operate it mechanically. By the end of 1980s, I don't know who invented a game called record scraping, which pushed DISCO to its first climax. After that, disco was depressed for several years under the strong collision of karaoke, and in 1995 and 1996, it swept the world with lightning speed and made a comeback.
The word DJ has already represented the latest, strongest, most poisonous and highest music.
In China, the development of DJ is distorted. You can often hear some such songs. They are all the most popular songs at present. Someone speeds up the rhythm of these songs, coupled with disco songs, and a "DJ" comes into being.
