G.I. Disco

VINYL FORMAT. G.I. Disco is an 80s history of the cold war's hottest music in West-Germany. Berlin local DJ heroes Kalle Kuts and Daniel W. Best, aka G.I. Disco, have compiled an excellent 80s Soul, Funk, R&B and Disco selection. It combines representative music of that time with informative liner notes about the German historical background (which is also an important part of the twentieth century's world history), international artist quotations, and worldwide renowned art by Berlin based photographer Frank Thiel to an unique history lesson and listening experience. Soul, Funk and R&B from the US became a worldwide dance and clubbing movement during the 70s when it turned "disco." In the late 70s and 80s, more and more new electronic instruments like synthesizers and drum machines were added to the horn riffs and piano licks, bringing the funk back on the dance floor while still leaving its soul untouched. Although a global success story, it played an interesting role, especially in the German experience.
