Episode 683: In The Seats With....Omar Majeed, Peter Mishara and 'Disco's Revenge'

In The Seats with...

The music NEVER stopped.
On this episode we dive into one of the better pop culture documentaries that we have seen in recent memory in 'Disco's Revenge'.
In the early 70s, the beat child of New York’s Black and LGBTQ+ communities was born on the city’s underground dance floor. Disco emerged as an exuberant musical genre, a vital social movement and a vibrant culture before enduring a vicious backlash nearly a decade later. In our collective pop-culture imagination, Disco's merely a fad relegated to soft-focus memories of Saturday Night Fever and Studio 54.
It is a pulsating deep dive into the very soul of disco music and its enduring impact across genres and history, told by the people who created it, nurtured it, and in turn, discovered themselves on the dancefloor. The film asks: Why does disco matter and, in these divisive times, why does disco matter now more than ever?
Featuring interviews and performances by Nile Rodgers and Chic, Billy Porter, Nona Hendryx and LaBelle, Grandmaster Flash, Fab Five Freddy, Nicky Siano, Earl Young and The Trammps, Jellybean Benitez, Kevin Saunderson, Sylvester and Martha Wash and many others.
Never has a film really got as anthropological when looking at a slice of music culture and that's what makes 'Disco's Revenge' so damn special.
With sit down with writer/direcfor's Omar Majeed and Peter Mishara to get deep into the groove of it all.
'Disco's Revenge' is on all VOD platforms.
