It’s like I’ve just found my very own version of Pitchfork.
Thanks to DiscoDelivery, I’ve stumbled upon DJHistory, an all-inclusive, uber-comprehensive resource featuring interviews, news, and exclusives with both up-and-coming DJs and living legends alike on the dance scene.
In short, the site is very much becoming one of my definitive sources for all things disco.
Right now, the site is currently promoting a massive new release called The Disco Files 1973-78, compiled by Vince Aletti, known to be the first reviewer to first write about disco in a 1973 Rolling Stone. Formerly the art editor of the Village Voice and currently a photography reviewer for the New Yorker, Aletti has compiled an exhaustive anthology including over 2,000 reviews, 800 club charts, and dozens of vintage disco photographs in what the site refers to as “the definitive chronicle of disco.”
Needless to say, it’s already been pre-ordered on my end. Coupled with the snazzy front cover and the promising PDF sampler, I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this!
