i think i understand you right, i know your frustrations, but i disagree with saying nu disco (or whatever label it is) has nothing new. at least with hercules and love affair, when you hear it you immediately think disco on some tracks, but at the same time you can easily tell it is a recent production. for reasons such as sound quality, it has a cleaner sound, theres more layers/instruments going on at once, the arrangement is more complex, and it uses sounds that you hear in modern techno/tech house but combines it with warm organic analog sounding traditional instruments that you would hear in 70's disco. it also has more of a psychedelic/trippy feel to it but at the same time being very emotional. its something you would never for sure hear in the 70's, so i can understand journalists using a term to describe it because it is in fact so different fromt the crusty old stuff.camus wrote:what the point add NU to every stuff? neo trance , nu rave , nu disco , nu sht... well the journalists always need to create new genres , even if there's only ten person actually doing that type of music. Nu disco sht isn't a genre and has nothing new, oh yes , their is that clap sound and a rim shot ... bull crap...
my problem is, i cant find anything that is similar to h&la. if i were to mix a track by them, there is nothing i can find that is in the same bpm vicinity or has the same quality to continue on my mix. i would love to mix this stuff but i cant use old italo disco crap (sorry but i just never understood the appeal of it) or old 70s stuff because its just too different (and cheesy, again sorry)
