I used to have a record as a kid that was Disco Mickey Mouse. That was always my favorite. :biggrin: I wonder if my parents still have it tucked away somewhere?

Wow! And it was three records too...two of them were Disco, IIRC, and one was children's songs, but they all came as a set. Somehow I doubt I'll ever see it again if my parents still have it...they have so much stuff stored that I've never even gotten all the Christmas ornaments I collected as a kid that I was supposed to get my first Christmas living on my own. :rolleyes: They don't know where they're buried. Or worse, they'll hold a garage sale and sell it for $1 without telling me.

Oh, I just noticed...that's for a CD version on Amazon. I wonder what the vinyl goes for? I didn't even know they ever came out with a CD version! I wish I had known that, I'd have gotten it back then...I always loved the song Disco Mickey Mouse. :biggrin: (Maybe we shouldn't let Zz see that it exists.)

By hottest I understand newest. in that case, eurodancehits publish each month a list of the most popular dance songs. You can find the list under the section NRG TOP 40 chart. There's an archive with the list of all the months of the past two years. I was looking the list of november 2005 and I can testify that the songs of Barcera, Akira and Cascada have loud drums. But then again, how many modern dance songs don't make use of loud drums?

Personally I`m a BIG fan of the Global Underground series.

I’ve seen Nick Warren play live 3 times so I’m going to have to go out and buy this

Disco music is...?

So what exactly is the definition of "disco music"

Um, to me its that iffy stuff from the seventies with the bad clothes but rather infectious beat that does get you left foot tapping:approve:

It seems that the definition here is more "dance music" as most people know it as.

I really dig Tiesto (Voted #1 DJ 2004)
and Paul Van Dyk (Voted #1 DJ 2005)
