  • The Evolution Of Disco (2/4)


    Scorned by the Mafias mistreatment of the gay bars, spurred on by the Stonewall uprising & its legacy, members & allies of the LGBTQ+ community begin to open up their own venues. In the decade that followed 1969 a new scene, a new sound would emerge, that would provide sanctuary, escape & space for celebration in the spite of the world outside. This episode we step foot in some of those seminal venues, take a look at their music & pay homage to their figureheads. Expect raw Soul, Proto-Disco & even a Funky bit of Rock & Roll.
