After the lengthy discussion on Duran's post, I got to wondering about all the places that have come and gone over the year of Miami clubland. Have the hot spots always been on South Beach? What about back in the day when places like Rick's Bar, Casanova's (which were in Hialeah and drew acts like Grace Jones and Madonna herself), and Fire and Ice held court. My inquiry took me to this great website discomusic.com. The site invites you to:
Instantly relive those adrenaline-pumped hedonistic moments on the Disco dance floor, hearing a flawless killer DJ mix set or being hypnotized by the spinning Disco ball as you learn the newest hustle dance steps.
Okay, so yeah I'm a TOTAL sucker for disco music, but the really great part is the Discos / Night Clubs page which takes you to a list of all the old disco dancing venues in the U.S. If you want an idea of what nightlife looked like in the 70s and 80s, be sure to click on the specific club links and read the reader comments. In some instances you even get pictures of the venue and of people.
It is interesting to note that mostly every party that was worth going to prior to 1992 was NOT on South Beach.
Like C&C M.F. said "Things that make you go hmmm".
They has some great write up and interviews (I personally loved the one with Scaramouche Legend DJ Joe Lenders. The laser light story is def. one for the books)
ENJOY!
de Rigueur was baggy parachute pants with long sleve Polo shirts and Giorgio Brutini Le glove's ( no socks!!)
on another note............for some new cool (indie-electro) disco stuff check out Sally Shapiro Romance Remix stuff. Its on Itunes. only stuff lately to get me excited enough to start making my own tracks...... Are they playing this anywhere out? indie kids? anyone?
it needs a little more tlc if you ask me- but being that's it's the ONLY one of it's kind with those references i'll give it the cred... you have to start somewhere, plus i bet it has to be hard/near impossible to dig up anything from back then... i mean.. how well would film hold up after the 2-3-4 days benders people went on back then (that's even if they remembered to take the lens cap off) plus where would you keep the ever so slim 35mm brick?
Great remix album. Not all artists are suited for a full remix album like that. But she pulled it off really well.
Ahhhhh....memorias ;)
