Disco, with Dr Liam Maloney: Movements, Scenes, and Genres

Listen on

Episode notes

We are joined by Doctor of Music, Liam Maloney, to talk about the rise and possible fall of Disco. We look at how Disco began in a New York loft, the Stonewall uprising, the destruction of dangerous disco records, how disco continues to this day, and no Abba, though there is some Ethel Merman, for some reason. And Liam chose some incredibly long, but cracking, tunes for us to listen to, including Idris Muhammad, Eddie Kendricks, and erm Ethel Merman!
