Just Add Disco

Just Add Disco

This week's playlist brings us to the genre of Disco.  We've got a pretty big spot in our hearts for the genre that keeps on giving decade after decade.  While most people think of disco as novelty that is strictly 70's, Saturday Night Fever, bellbottoms, and butterfly collars... in reality the genre had much greater depth and reach.  Disco has roots going back to the mid 60's and thrived until mainstream backlash in the early 80's.  However, despite being shunned by the mainstream, Disco went back underground and evolved into House and Techno.  Later, it would be sampled and reinvented countless times by everyone from Hip-Hop to EDM artists.  Frankly, Disco is a genre that just won't die... and we're totally fine with that.  

Special Requests

Special Requests

In this week's playlist, I've gone through the last few request sheets to pick out some of my personal favorites. The brides and grooms were ranging from late 20's to late 30's and lovers of indie music. While Ballroom Blitz prides itself on being able to play for almost anyone, we do love when we get a room full of indie music fans and can venture off the beaten path for a bit.

Throwbacks Flashed Forward

Throwbacks Flashed Forward

In this week's playlist series we take a look at some of our favorite secret (and not so secret) weapons when it comes to new/future soul, r&b, and funk.  These are tracks we use when moving between classic and modern styles, bridging the gap between various generations in a crowd.
